It has been a while, since I've been wanting to complain about the playgrounds here. There are a lot of schools, kindergarden and parks in our residential areas and at least one playground in each of those. And few swings on every playground. And I like to swing. For some unknown reason there are hardly any kids on those playgrounds. But back to the swings. While everywhere else the seat is hard plastic or wood, here they have something like soft rubber seats that fits the butt or in the case of an adult (or bigger kid) can't fir it, but still tries hard on both sides. Anyway, the swings could be so much more enjoyable here.
What we could use as example from here in the everyday traffic in Estonia, are the crossing signs. As you can see on the picture, there is the sign pointing out the crossing, yellow lights, loudspeaker and solar panel. There's also a button you can't see on the pic. If you want to cross the road, you push the button and immediately there will be yellow lights flashing for the drivers to let them know that a pedestrian will start crossing the novelty here - a crossing. At the same time, the pedestrian (with visual impairment) is informed through loudspeakers that all the bling and whistles are turned on for the drivers and it should be fairly safe to cross the road now. And I think, it's especially cool that all this can be done using solar power.
There were 5 days off during Christmas time and due to not feeling that great, Scott decided to spend the Christmas Day in bed. And since on that day I had all those great ideas of what I need from stores right that time, I checked the opening hours of the stores. Turned out that in this consumer society the Christmas Day is worse than a regular Sunday in Germany - there is absolutely no store open, where bad planners could go and start buying some sweaters, mugs and white wine.
In addition to the bed sheet system I haven't managed to create a mutually benefiting relationship with the pillow either, so yesterday we went to Home Goods so I could get a new pillow. If you go to some good-night-shop in Estonia, the brands or products, you see, are mainly something like "Sleepwell" or similar or the pillows are divided based on the material like lamb wool, feather, polyester. Here, first all the pillows were sold in a package of two exclusively and second, they only had four brands: Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, Tommy Bahama and Ralph Lauren. Each and every one of them unknown as great pillow producer to me. So, we brought home two pillows made by little helpers of Ralph Lauren with the promise written on the package: best pillow for most sleepers. Turned out, I'm not one of the crowds and can't sleep with my head almost up. Ralph's good sleep pillows will be returned. Will keep looking.
