The gardening begins

The last few days haven't done to much mowed lawns for 6hrs and only got half way round them aswell they just massive if only it was a ride on lawn mower but then again all the damm moles have made so many little holes would have made for a bumpy ride. We went for a 85min run from pirets parents and man it seemed to take forever felt so long think it must have been all the long boring straight roads that everything just seemed to loog the same.

Today Pirets dad arrived home so that was cool to see him he works in Finland as there is much more money to be earned there. We then went shopping in Viljandi which was quite cool found some cool running gear which i really wanted to buy but yeah didn't in the end maybe another day, some things are cheaper here but others are not for example fuel costs over $2 a litre, for a bottle of coke you would pay the same, but alot of running gear is cheaper i was looking at this winter running jacket it would cost around 150-200 in nz here it was 100 so yeah thats why i wanted it, for a loaf of bread its about 80cents, the loaf is a bit smaller than NZ ones but still pretty good value.
In the afternoon Pirets Parents started the potato planting was pretty cool to see, pirets dad had made the planting machine thing which planted them and also fertilized at the same time, im sure you can buy these things but yeah not all are made of money. Piret and i also planted our vege garden started abit bad. we started with Carrot seeds and the packet was supposed to go 20m and well we went about 1 before we ran out of seeds so somthing tells me we are gonna have a fair few mutated ones.



Other than that haven't done to much, tomorrow we are heading to Tartu which is Essti 2nd biggest city. We are heading there as thats where we are going to get picked up from as we are heading to a orienteering event called Ilves-3 so we have races over 3days (Fri, Sat, Sun) the mens field is quite big so should be interesting hopefully i do ok. not hoping for to much thou. Thats all for now
