City life
It might seem, judging from the title, that I will talk about shopping, theatres, night clubs and similar activities of city life. Not at all. What night clubs can we talk about with two months old, or rather young, baby at home (ha-ha, here the baby is mentioned again).
Our city life is more pragmatic. Since October, when we moved into larger flat,which happened to be in the Tallinn city center, we have been living behind scaffolding because facade renovation was going on for our apartment house. To start with, the facade renovation was supposed to be finished before we move in. Then finalizing was postponed to "before baby (...b-word again...) is born", i.e. beginning of the November. Then the deadline moved to 15 December, but that day as well as Christmas and New Year's Day passed behind the scaffolding. I was already feeling that it is not bizarre at all that there is somebody walking behind the window despite the fact that the window is on seventh floor. Today, however, was the big day when they finally removed the scaffolding.
... but, there cannot be emptiness, and exactly from today we have this thing just across the street:

It's a big advertising light box. It is very bright and shinning directly into our windows. Our flat is situated so that all windows are to the same side, and there is no escape from this light. From today I can read without switching on lamps. Good news are that we can save on electricity, but on the other side it's quite annoying. Tomorrow I'm going to investigate if there are any rules in Tallinn city regarding the brightness of advertising in direct proximity of living houses, but to be honest, I have little hope to get rid of this light terror behind our window.
At least now we are saved from winter depression caused by the lack of light.

This might be some kind of lobby from curtain salons. Have you checked out this option? They might have something really opaque for this problem...
