So another day spend at the knackery to get filing techniques down. And it was the worst day yet. x__x

They were doing a ton of horses, because it's a monday and they're clearing out or something so they were quite fast with the turn out and stuff. But it's was... just... awful. George can't hoot worht shit and we got to see the killing today, not that we wanted to but when you hear a loud bang and horses freaking out whether you want to or not you turn around to see the second one get shot =/

Anyway.. .aside from that... did alright, filing went pretty good except I bugger my knee getting up, twisted it or something so tat hurt like a bitch and effectively stopped me from crouching down again and continuing my work D=
I was quite upset about that, there were tears because I was feeling like shit already (I think I caught a cold or something.. or swine flu) so I had a massive headache, the whole knakcery experience was just terrible today AND buggered my knee something awful.

After we got home I had a bit of lunch (sushi!) and then went for a good long nap while stoned by painkillers, feeling much better now but am now just annoyed I didn't get to finish the teeth on the horse head...

Anyway! Before I broke myself, Peter took some pictures of us working dilligently on our bloody patients. So for those with a macabre fascination I'll post some. I'll post them from least bloody to most bloody so if you feel it's getting too much, it'll only get worse.

They're not TERRIBLE, in fact the pictures make it look a lot cleaner than it really is in the knackery, and there's no pictures of the carcasses, just the heads... weak stomached people might not wanna look though...

( Under a cut for obvious reasons... )

The pictures don't half convey what it's really like, in fact, the pictures make it look really clean and tidy!

Tomorrow we go up north, I probalby won't be around until friiiday.

BABY PONY! 8D

( Oh yes, that time of the year again )

Minor picture dump of the new beasts on the new property!

So yes, I R amused a lot. XD

Opened the mailbox today to get our mail out and while going through the mail (which is not only for me and bexx_t_h but also for her mother and brother I got a flabbergasted look from bexx and a "wtf?"

( Because of this... )

And today's such a good day as friend went to the ranch! And uploaded pictures onto facebook of my poneh! He's fuzzy and fluffy. And the babies are getting so so so big! D8
Which just reminds me; ALMOST BABY TIME!

Shall post some more pictures of my crazy adventures down under once they upload ;D

Edit:
( Promised picture dump! Warning; melted cheese and pea soup ahead! )

Picture dump to proof I do go places and do things.

Yesterday we went to Fremantle, which is basically Den Helder but a bit smaller and with tons nicer weather.
Had looovely fish and chips at the water front for next to nothing. Bexx showed me stuff an pointed me in random directions. Went to the Fremantle Asylum which is now a museum about the town. It was a nice museum, but a little dull. Lovely garden though with a nice terrace so we had some drinsk there it was allll gooood!

But obviously, I forgot the camera. But Bexx took some pictures with her phooone.

Aaand some more picture of when we went to Perth to see the Perth museum of natural history and stuff. Haha, don't recall what it was called exactly, went there last month and never got the chance to upload/share the pictures...

( Read more... )

I ifugred it deserved a post before I go off and play with it...!

And I has pictures of it...!

( Picture dump! Loot + other stuff I should've posted ages ago )

And yes, EVENTUALLY I'll gather up enough energy to sift through the pictures of the museum we visited and actually get into my inbox and answer all my mail. I AM getting the emails, I just haven't had the chance, the time or the energy to get back to you all yet. They are however much appreciated and I will get to them... eventually.

So for those of you who don't have facebook, here some pictures... Or a lot of pictures actually...

( Under zee cut!  )

Part of me is really glad to see/hear that cat is taking things so well in her new house. No rats have been killed (yet), the bedroom is save, kitty seems to be perfectly at home and I have yet t get angry emails about ruined furniture etc.

Also good to know the demon-kitty-basket is now in full use. I had no doubt in my mind that Flo would love it considering the fabric is as huggable as a puppy... (And my cat is a true slut for pettable/huggable fabrics)

Yet part of me can't help but feel betrayed by my cat and how easy she's adjusting. Cheap kitty slut that she is... two weeks ago she was convinced I should never leave her lest she would die and now she's dominating isabelgou's apartment...!!

(Pictures to prove it...!)

*grumbles* Damned spoiled little princess...

Parrots are outdated. I has a shoulder cat.

The second fuzzbutt is born...! 
Eagles SunLeo Jason, another colt...!

...Now what? .... >.>

So.... chapter closed. Nanza is back at the ranch, getting her vet check today. If she passes she's sold. I'm a bit sad, because Nanza was a great mare and I dislike seeing her go. We all do, even the ranch owners were a bit miffed. But we have both ehr parents still and a sister, so there's plenty of Nanza's blood to go around still.
On top of that she's going to some awesome people, who will give ehr a lot of attention. They want to make quiet trail rides and maybe occasionally compete a little in reining and western pleasure. She's going to be the family pony!

People came to check her out last thursday and almsot immediatly fell for her. Despite having looked all over the coutnry at several horses, they really liked Nanza.
They rode here, and all was well, I got a bunch of compliments for how well she was behaved and how lightly she responded to the aids, which was all good. The next morning they called Henk with an offer and bought horse and saddle in one go.

Saturday they came to pick her up and brought back little Noble. Who isn't so little anymore, only between his ears.
Some pictures of the pony that haven't been posted before... ^_^



( More pictures behind the cut... )
Subsequently, Noble decided he should make a grant entrance. He'd bene good the whole trip and decided to leap over the front bar of the trailer upon arrival and thus when we opened the trailer up found him laying in the very front of the trailer on his back. That's some yoga skillz right there. Luckily we got him out quickly and he was amazingly unharmed. Not even a scratch on him. He wasn't even sore the next mroning... silly bugger...

'tis Luka's kitty! Macrod!

 

Nanza will be headed back home in December (and she will be missed) and in return I'll get little Noble.
Who isn't so little anymore, but is little in his head.

He's a solid, sorrel gelding of just three years old and green as grass.
And he's Top's nephew. We have a history together though, so we're not complete strangers, but he's a difficult one to train. Much like Top he's convinced he can't do anything alone.

But I managed Top, so I should be able ot manage Noble. I hope I will be able to manage Noble. *twitch*

I got online to put pictures up on LJ and ended up going shopping.. oi... so here they are anyway. Nanza in action.

Yes, I'm smug and upset at the same time, I blame the helmet for being uncomfortable...

( Nanza in action...! )
