THERE ARE HORSES IN MY BACKYARD!!!!

yesterday, we decided to have a quiet day at home. which turned out to be a not so quiet day.

because linnett (the daughter of the homeowner of the house we stay in) turned up and rang the doorbell with jade (her best friend), both of them on horse back.

so basically they rode their horses from the stable all the way back home, and then they led the horses into the backyard.

i was like OMG THIS IS WAYYYY COOL.so yeah they started destroying the garden cos they're heavy and their hooves were leaving patches in the grass, and basically they were pretty hungry after all that travelling..so nom nom nom nom nom nom. i had a horse like up close breathing on me and that was pretty cool. and i watched them poop and pee in the backyard and uncle gary and aunt suvy were like oh there's our fertilizer! and they started picking up all the poop and putting it into their potted plants. lol.

and i got to ride bow (the white one)!!!! :D


it's like cool stuff i don't even need to go on a farm. i have horses in my backyard!

but of cos after that they rode the horses back to the stable.

and today, i was supposed to stay home again cos plans for seaworld fell thru, but wayne called in the morning and woke me up (it was like 11 am lol) and said there was a food and wine festival at the convention centre tt we could go to. so i went (cos zj had a very impt test to do and she had to stay home ): ) and when i got there i found out it was technically a "wine with just a little food festival" cos there were like SO MANY booths for wine companies and vineyards etc. so we like tried a lot of different wines and beers and coffee (for some reason yeah coffee) and they were having the latte art competition finals and the people were like GOOD. so it was kinda nice to watch. and there was a little food, like salsa dips and hams and cheeses and yogurt and ICE CREAM, but yeah mainly wines. i learnt quite a bit about wines today! like i nv knew all along that the dessert wine that i liked had super high alcohol because i thought since it had so much sugar content the alcohol level would be low because not much was converted. but apparently, it has both high alcohol and high sugar so ALOT of sugar must have been added at the start of fermentation. and i like shiraz better than cabernet sauvignon, and i can't really rmb how merlot was like. lol and i learnt that dessert wines are called fortified wines, and the white ones are called muscats i think and the red ones are port. and i tasted a 13 yo vintage port. and i learnt wayne used to be a chef! the kind that does pretty decorative dishes with sauces and stuff and i was like that's so cool.

fenene tells me i shd have a legend for all the initials because the initials are quite hard to follow. haha maybe i'll do one up soon. or maybe i'll just start typing their names down because i'm too lazy to do it haha
