Murdo's Week with Rene

Dear fellows!

I visited Rene`s aunt. She lives in the country.
I helped her to drive out the cows from the cowhouse.

After that we layed the trees into pile.

And then we drove along the field on a tractor.

I had a busy but amusing day.

See you soon,
Murdo

Murdo and Kristjan

Tere! (It means 'hello' in Estonian)

Kristjan likes rollerblading very much, so I went with him.
Kristjan likes to rollerblade in Pirita. Pirita is situated near the Baltic Sea. Kristjan's school is also near the Baltic Sea, so most of the time here is much windier than the other places in Estonia.

Kristjan's favourite activity is rollerblading, especially in summer.

Kristjan's family wants to buy a new car. They went seeing a new Nissan. They liked the test driving. All were satisfied with the new car's quality, so did Murdo :)

Murdo's Week with Kristin

Hey guys!


Last week I spent at Kristin's home. She had a very lovely home.
On Thursday we went to play tennis with Kristin.
In this picture I was sitting in the ball box. That was so comfortable. Me and Kristin's mother were watching how her daughter was playing tennis.


Kristin got herself a new mp4 player. I was listening to the songs and they were cool!



On Saturday Kristin and her family had a big cleaning day. I and Kristin cleaned up her room.

On Saturday we were outside helping Kristin's father. He put 3 bird's boxes on the trees. I was peeking were they cosy and nice :) Yes, they were.

See you next week!
Yours,
Murdo

Murdo and Easter in Estonia

Hi!

Sorry I didn't write before, but I had to find all the eggs :)

Easter here is a bit different I think. Estonians don't hide the eggs, they only kick them togehter. Whose egg is fine, I mean is not broken, is the winner. But Mrs Laane's class hide some eggs just to please me.

Anyway, I spent my Easter with Iris family. Iris and her family taught me how to colour eggs. It was fun.

In this picture Iris taught me how to colour eggs. I looked so closely that I fell :)

In this picture you can see the egg I coloured myself (of course Iris helped me a bit, just only a bit).

I coloured all these eggs :), but this brownish one, this is Iris' grandmother's egg. She knows how to colour eggs so called old fashioned way. Old fashion colouring means that you use onion shell go get such brownish patter. I hope I remebered all the tricks and can colour eggs in Scotland too like I did here in Estonia.

That's all for today.

Best wishes,

Murdo

Hello everyone!

It has been a long time since my last entry in the blog. I do have a story to tell this time, so here it goes...

I, as all the people in the whole wide world, have my inner mysterious wishes. One day I decided to do something to fulfil my wishes.

I stepped into my jackboots which allowed me to travel fast through time. I, the little animal suddenly ended up in the time machine.

As the appearance of me tells you, I had gone through a huge change and even the place I am at, is a bit different – a tropical island, that is.

What was my inner wish? That you do not know, but it certainly was connected with the changes in my appearance. Only faith and courage help me to achieve it.




That is what I have been doing lately. I and the Estonian children are on holiday at the moment. About the holiday I'll tell you later.

Best wishes,
Murdo

Murdo's Week with Eva

Murdo spent his weekend with Eva. They had a wonderful time. Eva had swimming competition and Murdo enjoyed his position as a spectator.



Later in the Saturday evening Eva, her little sister Liisbeth andMurdo visited grandmother and had together wonderful playful night, drinking hot chocolate and eating Evas favourite ice cream. During the weekend Murdo got many new friends with whom he wanted to have pictures taken."

Hello friends in Scotland!
Following is my week with Mark. It was super cool. Have a look!

Hi fellows!
How have you been? Haven't heard from you a while. Tell me how's the life in Scotland?

Here in Estonia I have found so many friends and last week I got to know another friends at Martina's place. My new friends were protecting me from Martina's cat who tried to chase me all the time because he found it interesting to catch Scottish mouse :)
Anyway at the end of this week we became friends and he told me that usually miece and cats in Estonia aren't so good friends as we beacame.


In this picture you can see how Martina's cat explained me about the relations between Estonian cats and miece.

Also Martina had an exciting week, she and her class went skating. It was fun. Martina's classmates taught to their teacher how to skate. Actually Mrs Laane knew how to skate but she hadn't skate so long and she needed to refresh her skills. Luckily their teacher didn't fall and everyone there were happy.

So long my dear Scottish friends!
Yours,
Murdo

Hello to everyone!



I had a very busy week with Robert! It was quite could outside and it was freezing to ride with bike to his Judo trainings every day, but we survived because we drunk tea with honey every evening and because of that we didn`t catch the cold!

Finally when we had a little bit of free time, after learning and visiting practice ,then we played with psp. It was really fun.







Best wishes, Murdo

Murdo's week with Saga

Hi!

Now I´m at Sagas home, Wednesday 12 Dec. Before coming home I saw the movie„Ladybug´s Christmas” with Saga's class at school, it was fun. In the afternoon we went to a christmas café at Saga's old kindergarden, Piilupesa. I just love the things they've done there, gingerbread houses, Santa Claus, the lemonade tasted also alright.















Thursday 13 Dec

Oh, this morning was tough, had to get up at 5am! Singing Luciasongs with lights on my head! But it was fun, a new experience. In the late afternoon I went with Saga to her training, she is doing circustraining, wow how she can bend her body! And after that straight ahead to look at a traditional Swedish lucia celebration in the Swedish church in Old Town, Tallinn, beautiful.

Friday 14 Dec

Been on a trip with the class to a christmasplace, Kotkuland, situated near Paide, that´s the city that´s called „the heart of Estonia“ because you´re in the middle of Estonia when you´re in Paide.

Saturday 14 Dec

Went to see a competition, girls competing in rollerskating. Girls were in lovely, and some funny, dresses, spinning around! Had pizza for lunch, jummi! Circustraining in the evening, 5pm - 8pm.

Sunday 16 Dec

Baking ginger cookings and decorating them, It´s so fun!

Monday 17 Dec

Sick today, in bed all day playing gameboy, and some TV-watching.

Tuesday 18 Dec

School! Went with the local bus from school to home in the afternoon. Last night with Saga, tomorrow new adventures!

Bye bye!

Murdo met Birgit's cat

Dear Scottich friends,

How are you before Christmas? We have a nice time in Estonia, but we are missing snow. I have a lot of friends in Estonia, for example Birgit's cat. In the picture I sleep with Birgit's cat. I like to sleep with her, because she has got so soft fur.

Here I'm visiting friend of Miisu. We played together and I told her about Scotland.

Best regards,

Murdo

Murdo's week with Marti!

Hi guys!

It's cold and windy here in Estonia. Sometimes it's snowing too. I mostly spent my time inside the house because Marti felt a bit tired. But I did listen to the music and watched movies, I enjoyed it very much.

Marti and Estonians were celebrating the 'kadripäev' (Kadri's Day) this weekend. It's mostly the same as yours Halloween. Kids will wear white clothes and will visit neighbours and will sing or dance. It was fun to see Kadris here, my first time.

Take care,

Murdo

Murdo & Helen's friend birthday party!

I went at Helen's friend birthday party. Her friend held it at so called play room where I met a really huge bunny.






I wanted to swim but the sea is so freezing here at the moment so I decided to dive into the sea of balls. It was fun! Birthday party guests enjoyed it too.
By the way I ate a very delicious birthday cake here with strawberries and cream, yammy!


Here I am at Helen's home. These are my new friends. I promised to visit them again :)

Murdo and Kristin!

Hi to everyone at home!

On Friday I went to Keila with Kristin. There was The English Day. I had a lot of fun and I'm happy that she took me with her.

On Sunday she cleaned up her room, so I met some guys too. We are friends now. I had a very lovely time!

Yours,

Murdo
