Did you know that the name you gave to baby means “wait” in estonian language..?
Well it’s “oota” but we often say just “Oot” or it sounds without the “a”.
So I think that you’re waiting the baby to be born sub-counsiously, but we also think we descend from sumers haha :D

Best wishes

My wife was less about pregnancy facts and more about threats; “Oh, you’re going to be that way? Well, then the baby just lost a finger! That’s right, I refuse to grow the baby’s finger.” Joking of course. My son was born with all ten fingers and toes. Ah, pregnancy. Good times.

You legend. I thought that just needed to be made clear. Reading your blog makes me happy. Your beard is pretty awesome too, although I’m not sure why it’s mildly ginger, happens to my friend as well regardless of his brown hair… My stubble is usually mildly ginger too. One of the mysteries of life I assume.

love your blog. especially the entry about your trip to europe. i think it's only fair if you'll see some remarkable stereotypes instead of being stereotyped yourself by europeans ;). after all, we're not that bad... *g*

as for british food... as far as i remember, yes, it was that bad. except for the scones, marmelade, sandwiches...all kinds of sweets, trifle... well, maybe it wasn't too bad. ^^ but if you're looking for great european food you should try france (oh noes, some british people will now want to hit me hard for this remark), greece, spain or italy.

have fun on your trip!

ps.
btw - you should definitely visit that "cool fountain". it's great! just like all the old stuff. ^^

Stereotypes about accents and idiomatics are often true. French keep saying “put…” or “mer…” as often as US citizens use “f…” or “sh…”.

All stereotypes about clothing, rudeness/politeness, cars, architecture, food etc… end up deadly wrong most of the time (except english food)…

Is the baby named after Ocarina of Time? Are you going to name it Link when it comes? Or how about Biggoron?

Nowt wrong with English food! Anyone who says otherwise probably has questionable taste in eating establishments, and has obviously never had the pleasure of a full English breakfast, toad in the hole, shepherd’s pie, or a Sunday roast with lashings of gravy and Yorkshire pudding. Fish and chips isn’t half bad either, though you should ask around the locals for the best chippie…
