Gerli On Eestlane

It is downpouring for the last two days. I haven't seen so much rain in Sydney since I am living here. It makes me think of the country I used to live before I reached Red Land. Let me cut-and -paste an oficial line about it from my CV : )

From November 2007 until September 2008 I was employed by Grüne Fee Eesti Company located in Tartu region, southern Estonia – the largest greenhouse in this part of Europe. I was responsible for all works connected with growing the plants (sowing, planting, packing).


I ve been biking to-and-from GF regardless the weather conditons, so I think I have a right to make kind of generalization : ) about Estonians. It seems that the rain is locking them up in their houses. They kind of worship their own solitude and silence. That is why it is a big event if I get some news from my ex-Estonian friends. 'Gerli on Eestlane' means Gerli is Estonian - Estonian who wrote to me after long long break, exactly at the time of heavy rains in Sydney : )


Sometimes the weather in Estonia is very sunny. Below I will paste a picture of house where I spent much time. I got this picture very recently from my Polish friend living in Tartu with his Estonian wife. I helped him to restore this old wooden gem - a summer house 40 km south of Tartu:
