Well its been quite a big week for me in the land of growing frosty...ness. I have now resorted to wearing special 'mountain horse' boots (as opposed to my beloved, paint covered wellingtons) in fear of the fact that if i continue to wear the wellies, i might just end up freezing my toes off... literally. Anyways... for those of you who arent aware these riding boots are "special" according to everyone here becasue they insulate your feet... im not complaining cos my feet are toasty warm inside them. Enough about feet.
On the weekend, i was helping Olga with her Chocolate business, aware of the fact that on Saturday night, Liz and her fiance Brennan were coming down from Canada for a few days to visit. So Saturday night rolled around and i went into my room to put my jacket and bag down and went into my bathroom to find Marieke standing in there in a desperate attempt to hide herself lol. it was awesome. Apparently Arno had set the whole thing up just so Marieke could come down and surprise me. Liz and Brennan came too... just so you know! So Saturday night we spent hours on end around the dinner table drinking, eating and being merry. Sunday, i had to go to the chocolate show with Olga again and Sunday night, Arno's friedn Chuck came around for dinner and brought some ducks that he had shot (its hunting season :( *sniff*) for dinner. The girls and i were kinda grossed out by the ducks for dinner but we had a great night. Marieke was also freaked out by 'winning' the contest to find the most gun shot pellets in their duck... the poor thing. Hmm so Monday, Liz and Brennan went out and Marieke and I hung out in the barn and went for a ride and just bummed about. On Tuesday, we dragged Anna up from NYC for the morning and met her new (disabled) puppy. LOL, she rescued it from Argentina, its 5 months old and has a mended broken paw, which looks really painful but actually doesnt bother her at all. Anyways, by Tuesday arvo everyone left and I was once again on my own with the horses but enjoying the peace a bit.
So today I'm back into the routine of things. I rode Iris this morning and had lots and lots of fun
Its Thanksgiving tomorrow and i have been invited to 'Thanksgiving Dinner'... would be really nice if i knew what i was 'giving thanks' for... something about Indians, pilgrims and turkeys... I will just smile and nod and eat my turkey when prompted. yay.
Well i think thats about it for now. Im excited for Thanksgiving, and to see some snow very soon. They are all freaking out over here because there is no actual snow yet and normally this place is under more than a foot of snow by now. Im thinkning its the same sort of reaction to the non existant rainfall in Adelaide this winter?? Hmmm, oh yea, some time in the near future im going to NYC for a few days to stay with Anna so that should be exciting too. ok, adios. xoxo
