Ok, so not having the best week but thats ok. Yesterday (or the day before i cant remember now/dont actually care) my laptop officially died. to the point where it is now wraopped up in bubble wrap ready to be sent back to Aust with the rest of my stuff. I dont think i have lost any information on it but im not going to play with it anymore for fear of making the situation worse.
Other things that have happened include my riding boots breaking and getting a boot full of mud after dismounting Maple, Lucinda ATE one of my head phones because, well, im not actually sure why she ate it, but it gave me an electric shock and now i only have one headphone until i next go shopping. um, there isnt any snow yet and i dont think there is going to be because it was 15C today and even in Canada it was 12C so no one knows what the frick is going on. hmmm i dont know lots of other small things have been going bad this week too, but im convincing myself that it can only get better from here.
There are officially 25 days til i jump on the plane destined for home via three million other places. Ok, its two other places but whatever. Cant wait til i get home now, im actually wishing the days away here, which probably isnt the smartest thing since i wont be back here for a while but im just so excited about coming home.
Marieke and Liz are planning to come down from Canada for one final visit before i leave, on the 27th of Jan or there abouts. Its going to be sad saying goodbye to this place and the friends i have made here but i know i will see them again so its ok... plus there is the fact that as i have already said, i cant wait to get home.
I am making progress with Toby and Maple. Toby seems to just do whatever i tell him to but not retain ANYTHING... but at elast he tries. Maple is getting better but is still scared of me. I have resorted to using carrots as bribery and they appear to be working. i still have 25 or so days left to work on her so that equates to approximately 25 more rides... but probably less, given that i intend to take a day off this coming week and that by tomoro it will only be 24 days. Anyways, i have been spending the last few days taking advantage of the warmish weather and finishing some of the painting on the jump poles and cleaning lots and lots of saddles. I think i managaed to clean thirteen saddles in the past two days which isnt a bad effort... if the weather holds up i shall start on the 50 something bridles... but im going to have to be pretty desperate to start on the bridles cos i HATE them.
um, yea so thats my life at the moment. just enjoying my last month with the ponies. Im going to miss them all and unfortunately i can't say that i will see them again because by the time i make it back here, in reality, half of them will have passed on or be sold to other farms. never mind.
ok, well thats about it from me. Looking forward to coming home (as ive said about 400 times in this post already.) and cant wait to see you all. much love... xoxoxoxoxoxo
