This scene of shadow puppetry or varju/teater, as it’s known in Estonian, was played out on New Year’s Eve in the Kassi/saba (“Cat’s tail”) neighbourhood of Tallinn. It was part of a social event, but not a performance... The shadow of the figure first-grader Hugo is holding up hopefully helped him to identify what shape the figure resembles. Everyone was clutching a figure, a silver-coloured figure made of lead (tina) which they had just had a hand in forming. Estonians call this tradition ÕNNE/VALAMINE – pouring luck or tina/valamine – pouring lead.

Hilary Bird My dismantled London home (in a van driven by trusted Estonian friends) should by now be rattling through the Baltic States heading for Tartu. I am selling my UK property but I must remain camped out in my empty house until at least mid-November until the paperwork is complete. Taking a chance that Magna Ursus Putinus (the Great Putin Bear) remains east of the border, I am settling for good in Estonia. I could never be called a "fair weather friend." I am glad the President of the USA came, quoted Marie Under, and assured us that we are not alone. My decision, however, is based more on sociological research. The Levada Centre is a Russian non-governmental organisation whose expert opinions appear in both the Russian and foreign media 2014 Levada polls on the Ukraine are based on 1,600 questionnaire responses from 46 regions. The March poll shows 36% of respondents saying they would "definitely" support direct military intervention in Ukraine: the August poll, however, shows the number down to 13%. The Russians have noticed that soldiers are coming back in body bags. This is a political development that even Tsar Vladimir cannot ignore .

At Metsaülikool (”forest university”), the annual Estonian language & culture seminar week in the forests of Kotkajärve, a bright young boy from Pärnu, Erik Martin Ojamaa, was strikingly similar to the young Ruitlane in his enthusiasm for fishing. He arrived with his aunt, MÜ lector and instructor Maarja Lõhmus, Senior Lecturer in Media Studies at Tartu Ülikool and ended up catching at least 3 smallmouth bass, like the one seen here, the exact equivalent of which does not exist in Estonia, but is similar to an AHVEN (perch). At least one other hefty bass was caught by a HUNDU (cub scout) in camp the preceding week. Catching was followed by a lesson on gutting the fish (ROOKIMINE / RAPPIMINE) and they were then cooked in foil in the LÕKE (campfire) and served to the entire MÜ family as a fantastic late night snack. One of the themes of this year’s MÜ was KOHA VAIM (the spirit of a place) and eating the delectable meat of a KALA which had spent years in the depths of the very special spiritual body of water that is Kotkajärv, was very special indeed.
