Road work, house work

Road work. I got this reminder today, of why we moved. Not just for more square meters, but also for less road work right outside the window.

But definitely not less work. There's plenty of digging outside, and neighbours have been helped ut cutting down the boards that were crowding the top floor hallway and lift the unused floor boards up to the ceiling. It is now possible to walk around and move things upstairs, which is key to get the required space everywhere to build the required closets for clothes and everything else we've got.

There used to be a platform here, for the trash cans. It was old and far from level, so I removed it, and started digging. I need another 20-25 cm at the deepest side before I level it out. On friday, this is where they will put the outside portion of the air-to-air heat pump, before I build a new platform on top of it.

Bettervision 2012: Montenegro

I am looking up songs competing in the first round of Eurovision. Starting with the first entry, Montenegro. This song is a definite nominee for Bettervision 2012, propagating tolerance and easy living through catchy lyrics, though the start of the entry is "slightly scary". Lyrics and video below, you be the judge.



Eurosceptic, analphabetic
Try not to be hermetic

Euro Neuro don't be sceptic
Hermetic, pathetic, analphabetic
Forget all cosmetic, you need new poetic
Esthetic, ecletic, dialectic

Euro neuro, don't be dogmatic bureaucratic
You need to become pragmatic
To stop change climatic automatic
Need contribution from the institution
To find solution for pollution
To save the children of the evolution

Euro Neuro, Euro Neuro
Monetary break dance
Euro Neuro, Euro Neuro
Give me chance to refinance

(Blaue grotte ausflug do Zanjica, heute habe hobotnica)

Euro Neuro I don't like snobism
Nationalism, puritanism
I am different organism
My heroism is pacifism, altruism
I enjoy bicyclism
Liberalism, tourism, nudism, optimism
It is good for rheumatism

Euro Neuro, Euro Neuro
Monetary break dance
Euro Neuro, Euro Neuro
Give me chance to refinance

Euro neuro, I got no ambition
For high position in competition
With air condition
Different mission, different school
I got only one rule
Always stay cool
Like a swimming pool

Euro Neuro, Euro Neuro
Monetary break dance
Euro Neuro, Euro Neuro
Give me chance to refinance

Project: Bettervision

As we are drawing closer to Eurovision 2012, I must repeat what I said after ESC 2011: If we look at the impact a song may have as soft power, then we, the voters, should vote for the song that helps propagate thoughts and actions for a better world. Let's make Eurovision a Bettervision!

Looks chilly outside

4/42 Valuste. Looks deceive. It's actually quite warm. Snow is melting.

Tall order

3/42 - sometimes, this is exactly what I feel like. Pärnu mnt southbound, driving 90 kph.

At the photographer

2/42 Visited the photographer, who oddly enough wasn't me.

Living in small spaces

1/42: At a hair dresser in Lihula, Estonia. Small room, full of stuff, and this window decoration mirrors the room very well.
