One week out from heading back to Eesti and the panic begins. It's heightened this time by the fact that instead of two adult brains in a panic, we have thrown a third into the mix, that the other two have to think for. A recipe for impending disaster I'm sure.
Although there are things to do, there is the usual anticipation of things to come heightened by numerous photos of long nights and clear skies from friends on facebook, and reports of hot days already beginning. Fingers crossed it holds till we get there and stays while we are there.
Sydney is cold. Meteorologically and metaphorically. A change of scenery from this place is long, long over-due. For me personally, I need to get away from this place and shed a skin of it. The noise. The tough-guys. The sport. The razzle and serious lack of dazzle. It's time to go away and try and re-birth Sydney on my return. It's worked in the past, but every time convinces me less.
I'm looking forward to catching up with a friend in Singapore first for a few nights. This time will be different for both of us as we have family to introduce to each other in the shape of sons. From there it will be on to Estonia for a few weeks to introduce said son to the other half of his family.
I know what to expect and don't know what to expect - that is, in terms of Estonia. That's what I like about returning every time. Although Tallinn is small, it's kind of like a good favorite movie - every time you see it again, you uncover something you didn't see the last time or the first time. It always seems fresh and never gets old. I don't know. If I'm wearing 'läbi roosade prillide', then who cares. I don't.
The exciting thing this time though is I/we return with an agenda. More on that later...
