Before we turn our full attention to preparations for our farm festival on Saturday afternoon, there is still work to be done on Friday. 10 kg of onions are turned into soup, a sauna is delivered, the association inaugurates the new stage and sings in German and Estonian to an eager audience. Finally, there is a close winner in the competition for the best potato salad.
We are slowly preparing for the mid-season party on Saturday. But first, we are transforming the barn. The stage is being finished, and a second wooden floor is being built under the roof slope. The kitchen team arrives and Lukas presents the perfect bread.
We take care of the barn inside and out: the broken threshold is repaired in record time, a solar-powered cell phone charging station is installed, and the MFZ is supplemented with a wooden floor that can be used as a stage. A water sample is taken from the well, and we eagerly await the results as new guests arrive.
In the middle of the night, a surprise visitor arrives from Helsinki. We bake rye bread in a Dutch oven, put up huge mosquito nets, set up our mobile phone antennas, and build some very special kitchen furniture. On Sunday, we visit our new neighbors downstream, who are undertaking a very similar project, and marvel at some very special Estonian architecture. Coffee is available again, too.
On Wednesday morning, everything we need to make coffee is finally back in place. We need it! Infrastructure projects are progressing: the well is finally providing water, and the new solar panels are being provisionally installed. A tidy kitchen and workshop have replaced scattered cardboard boxes, and the mosquito-free zone project is taking shape.
