Ilmselt kõlbas ka eilsele seltskonnale. Kui jõudsime tagasi koju oli ahjuplaadil ainult kaks tükki alles.

Going to a little gathering this evening and was asked to bring #dessert. As the members of the group adhere to various diets, I figured that some homemade #vegan mocha squares might just hit the spot.

A Relive video of my little hike today. It was good to get outside of Tallinn for a while and also to wander around without a planned route.

Today I visited the territory of an abandoned Soviet-era S-200 missile base in #Pahkla. I managed to wander around for an hour and a half before the rain started. #hiking #Estonia

This #Nestville single barrel is pretty decent. First time trying out a #whisky from #Slovakia. Stopped by their distillery on our road trip back in August.
A bottle of Nestville single barrel whisky. Next to the bottle, a Glencairn whisky glass with a generous pour.

Yes, there's a strip of international airspace, between Finland and Estonia, that ruzzia has direct access to. In this example, a ruzzian airliner flying to Kaliningrad is staying it its lane.
