30 January 2012

Today was the third time I rode Cash, and all in all I think it went better than last time, because today I managed to ride him in more of the right way, though he jumped in the air sometimes and wasn't always concentrated on me and the tasks I wanted to do with him. He's such a sweetheart though, there's no way I can be frustrated with him once I see his face!
I hope he and I are going to be a quite good equipage at the end of this school year.

It's also a week and a day until I'm up for my stable shifts again; I did it last time one of the last weeks before Christmas. This time Electra is coming to stay with me while I'm working!! I'm so happy, it's been way too long since last time I saw her.
She's coming this Sunday evening, and is getting new shoes Monday. So I'll spend some time at school on both Sunday and after school on Monday (shifts starting Tuesday) to make sure my baby's okay.

After I'm done with the shifts, there's only 3 days until we're off to London!!!!

Liverpool 2-1 Manchester United - in pics.

Just wanted to post some pictures of yesterday's win - none are mine, they're all from liverpoolfc.tv.

Kenny and Alex Ferguson shaking hands before the game.

Daniel Agger scores the first goal...

Liverpool owner John W. Henry.

Dirk Kuyt scores the 2-1 goal!

Anti-climax of the week.

Got up early (9 am) to watch the gentlemen's final of the Australian Open, which lasted for 5 hours and 45 minutes. Cheered Rafa on, of course, but Djokovic won in the end, having pushed my nerves pretty far together with Señor Nadal.

Oh, I really wanted Rafa to win, but guess I can't have Liverpool beating both Manchester teams AND Rafa winning the Australian Open in one week.

Anyway, here are some pictures of Rafa from today's match.

Matchday - Liverpool vs. Manchester United!

The fourth round of the FA cup for Liverpool is just around the corner, the game being kicked off at Anfield, 12.45 local time, which means 13.45 here.
I'm excited for this match, I think we'll win it 2-1 - hopefully more! And I hope Evra doesn't get a pleasing experience, after what he did to Luis Suárez.

I hope Liverpool play with the same XI that was used against City on Wednesday, but I doubt it - especially I doubt that Gerrard and Bellamy starts.

Breakfast.

I'm home again today, for the third day in a row. Tomorrow I'll be fit enough to go to school, I hope. I wanted to go today, because the class was going to have a show jumping lesson - which we don't have too often - but I'm not fit enough to ride, sadly.

I've decided that I will lose weight, and then take it from there as I will gain some muscle kilos too (it's not like I'm going to look like I'll look like Marit Bjørgen). Therefore, I made a very healthy breakfast:

Not Nadal, haha, but a pear, blood orange and some pineapple + a glass of lemon juice.
And yes, I'm watching the Australian Open - it's the semi final between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
Vamos Rafa!
