ok so i haven't updated this for a while again SORRY! been uber busy and when i do have time i really cant be bothered to sit at a computer especially when the iternet in this place comes from the stone age! so ....

Monday 19th Nov - was going to be riding my new pony rusty first thing but unfortunately el flerlowly got in the way when i was getting rusty into the arena. got so stressed out cos rusty kicked out and ended up getting his leg caught in the gate. just surface wounds but i was to put it bluntly s*** scared that i had ruined a horse! after giving the cut a clean and giving the hores their breakfast i rode Rosco and rode Rusty who was just being a big wimp (well thats the polite version of what james said anyway!)headed into work after lunch as i had an early lesson, taught all day and then came home and had dinner and went to bed. James eleta matt and marie went for dinner with clayton and lucinda so was in bed when they all got back.

Tuesday 20th Nov - after feeding and exercising the horses we had a leisurely breaky as it was my day off and matt and marie were off on claytons extravaganza birthday bash. went swimming in the afternnoon and then watched a dvd all afternoon and went to the pub with james, eleta, bec (from the winery - everyone seems to be called rebecca around here!!!!), ollie (obviously!) and penny and craig from up the road from eleta and james. had a drink and then came home and went to bed after tea.

Wed 21st Nov. I was covering the stable hand (rebecca!) today so i was in at work at half 8 after doing the horses here and then catching the train into the showgrounds. so mucked out, watered fed all the the horses and then taught all evening. James had got me another job - labeling wine bottles!!! its extra cash so its not the end of the world.

Thurs 22nd nov - lunged the horses this morning and then showered and changed as eleta and i were going to go shopping and then i was going to teach and then me and eleta were going to go for a drink in subiaco. that plan went down the drain when stable rebecca said she was ill and wanted to go home so it was just as well me and eleta had come in at 1 to drop stuff off before we went shopping. i started work early to cover for her and then taught all evening. i was filling in for courtney as she was going away for the weekend - they all finish uni around now so they go away and get battered! sounds like fun! so finished work and then we got changed and perfumified (so no smell of ponies remained on us!) and then went to the subi hotel for a few drinks. we drank, chatted and giggled for ages and then realised that it was probably time to go home and rescue james from ollie! came home and realised that george had gone missing again - and just before anyone starts - i was not about to stumble around a field in the dark with half a bottle of wine in me and with only a useless jack russle to look after me - not after last time with the hissy thing in the grass!

friday 23rd nov - did the horses here and then caught the train into work cos i had my early lesson - filled in for rebecca cos she wasnt well again and then me and eleta taught all evening. early night for me!

Sat 24th nov - fed and watered the horses and then went to work. taught all day. fit guy from last weekend came back - danielle (who bought touche - mentioned earlier in the blog entries) and jess (who i teach on a friday with danielle) were pissing themselves about him cos of his stretches and the noises that accompanied them! they even made up a dance to 'eye of the tiger!' anyway he was back and was baeling on about how he had 'stretched his groin' during the week and that he didnt think he was better but he wanted to give it a shot anyway. so after one stride of trot he collapsed on the horses neck making funny faces and then ( MUM, DAD DO NOT i repeat NOT read the following!) made some really scary what can only be descibed as sex faces as he was in that much pain. not professional i know but i could not help busrting out laughing! was hilarious! Me and teacher rebecca were going to be going out on the town tonight so she came back to mine and we got ready - eleta made us a pizza before we went out so that filled us up! eleta then dropped us off at the train station and then went to Subiaco. we went to the llama bar (cant spell im sorry!), the subi hotel and then the red sea which according to bec is one of the most exclusive clubs in perth. caught the train to leederville and went to Niche which is where becs boyfriends best mate was a bouncer so we got to skip the que. he was quite nice looking but turned out to be a complete stalker but this will be detailed later on. after a few drinks in there we caught the train to northbridge. first couple of bars were packed and then we went ot one which was closed early cos the cops were outside spying (very badly i might add as they were sat in cars with POLICE written all over it. we went to a bar called The Shed. was really cool - had a beach theme kind of thing then went to another bar which wouldnt let us in after we had qued because you needed 2 forms of ID - so i only had my driver lisense on me. no idea why you needed 2 forms but hey. we met up with jay in a bar across the road from that place. bec was off her face by this point so we went to another bar in subiaco again called saphire - was really nice. bec threw up every where in the club (a la me in scarborough on sarahs 18th (very sorry sarah - thanks for looking after me mel!)) we drove all the way out to becs house - her throwing up out of the window and then jay took me home.we stopped off at kings park and had a look around - so different at night (well 5 in the morning!) got home at half 6 just in time to do the horses.

Sunday 25th nov- did the horses and then was back out of the door by half 7 as i was going to be helping bec judge at a pony club event (and getting paid!). had an accident on the way there and bumbed into a lady at the traffic lights - she was in a car i didnt run anyone over! and no i wasnt drunk i had stopped drinking a lot earlier that night as bec had not slowed down at all and i had to be the responsible one in a strange town!so there went my wages!bec did not show up! i was so annoyed - i had missed out on sleep because of her! grr anyway did the competition and judged all morning. was really nice day but was soooo tired. got home around 3 and then went to bed! spoke to laura for a while and then watched assie idol final which was being filmed in the sydney opera house. bed again!!!

monday 26th nov - did the horses and then had a phone call from the lady who i bumbed into -a$1000 worth of damage - GUTTED that really is most of my wages! grrrrrrrrrr! was very tempted to take my anger out on rosco when i was lunging him but dont think that james or the new owners would have been too happy! went to work and then home to bed!

tuesday 27th november - day off. did the horses and then got rosco ready for james to ride as it was going to be the last time that he rode him before he went to his new home. me and eleta then went to pick up amber and tonto from the extra paddocks up the road which unfortunately have been sold off so we have lost that to turn the horse out on so we had to bring them back here. put them in their paddock when we got them home and then they went insane! foal and mum were reunited over the paddock fence which was interesting as they were both going mad! rusty and rosco were flirtying BIG style - amber typically decided that she was in seaon (for the non horsey of you - basically she wanted to 'play' with the boys as she was in the mood!) we then went to the stock feeds so that we would have stuff for the riding school. i then went to the winery to do some labeling- some! HA! thats a joke - you should see it - 2 and a half crates containing around 18,000 bottels that need to be labeled! i labeled for hours. Matt and marie arrived back and then we had dinner and then stayed up chatting for hours!

Wed 28th Nov - rode rusty and then fed all the horses. the vet came out to look at roscos teeth ashe had a snapped wolf tooth that needed to come out as well as a baby tooth that should have come out when he was 18 mths old but was still in his mouth! was really interesting to watch. the vet Warrick is one of the chief vets that are in charge of the equine side of the olympics - ie hes off to china for the 2008 olympics! was mad - text ashley straight away - taught she would be impressed. absolutely gutted that im going to miss the horse part of the olympics by exactly one month! me and laura leave on the 5th july and the horses start arriving on the 5th august! grrr! taught all eveing and took the float into work with all the feed.

thursday 29th nov -did the horses and cleaned out roscos both so that it doesn't get infected. rode rusty and then chatted to marie for a whilke while matt took a lesson. went into town and did some errands and then went to the winery to do some more labeling- done about 500 bottles now only another 13000 to go! this evening we were off out for james belated (VERY BELATED) birthday meal with a load of people. the restaurant that we had booked with thought we were coming to lunch and weren't open in the evening so we managed to get another table at a restaurant called the rose and crown in guilford. i had kangaroo! was yummy - apparently its meant to be healthy and good for your heart. oooooo ok so the stalker - he had seemed nice txting over the week and then was asking me to do something every night - obviously busy and have other things to do without prior notice so couldn't. so tonight when i said earlier that i was going out for a meal i looked at my phone to see about 13 missed calls and about the same amount of txts! he then went a bit psyco when i said i hadn't looked at my phone cos was having a laugh with the people at the meal. he was really scary - like creepy scary - not texting him again!

Friday 30th nov - did the horses and then gave rosco a bath as he was off to his new home today. taught all eveing and afternoon and then came home and did dinner as eleta james matt marie ollie and millie were out for a meal at brookleigh. PARCEL from mum and dad FINALLY arrived! whoo!
