level 3

On the 28th April everyone was leaving the house because it was level three and Chris was getting sick of having so much people in the house. We all packed up our stuff then helped clean the house, I had to do my room and the big lounge. It was pretty quick and easy which was good, and the whole time I was listening to music so it made it more fun. When I had finished I just sat and chilled until it was time to go, when it was time to go to my dads I got in the car and we waited until we got to Turikina which is half way to my dads. It was so good to see my dad because I hadn't seen him for about a month, I sat in the front and we talked for the other 1hr and 15mins. When we got home I made dinner then I made desert , we finished desert then we watched some TV. We watched TV for a little while then I went to bed.

Lela's Birthday

On the 22nd April I woke up the made a card for Lela because it was her birthday, Jordan came into the room then we started talking about the card and she could hear us. I finished making the card then i went onto my class call and it was pet day so that was fun. My call finished then i just watched some Netflix then went to get milk and go shopping with my mum. I was jamming in the car to my music while my mum was shopping it was really fun😂, mum finally got back then we went home and emptied the car. We then started setting up for Lela's birthday party. Lela came out and we all started singing happy birthday then we went and ate dinner, when we finished dinner we sat around the fire. We made damper and roasted marshmellows, Aimon did some of his magic then we were gonna watch a movie but mum didn't let us because it was 12:00am then we went to bed.

photo shoot with Marti

On Tuesday 21st April Me and Lela went down to see Marti and give him a clean because Lela was having a photo shoot that night. We were allowed to take the cover off of him, he had never had his cover taken off in the 2 years we have been living in Otaki. We Braided his mane and brushed him heaps until he was really clean. We left then later on in the day Jordan, Lela and Cadby went down to take photos they were so cool.

Sunday 19th April Lock down

On Sunday 19th April i awoke and then went for a bike to the beach with my brothers and Aimon who is a friend staying with us during lock down. When we got down there we went to the water but didn't swim we just play fighted in the sand. It was starting to spit so we went home, when we got home it wasn't raining but that didn't matter. I made some brownie and ate lunch then me and Lela went to go see Marti who had been moved from his paddock to another. We did some ground work with him then went back home and went to the beach again with Sam, Aimon, Jordan, Lela and my mum. The beach was heaps of fun and when we got back we had dinner and desert then started to watch the Matrix which by the way  highly recommend you watch. I wasn't allowed to watch the whole movie because i had to go to bed but that was okay because i have seen the Matrix loads of times.

Our German woofer during Lock down

For the first two weeks of the Quarantine we had nine people staying with us, we had my family (5 people), our friends (3 people) and a German woofer. The German woofer had nowhere to go so we kindly accepted her into our home. Her name is Kristina, she was sleeping in my room, for the first day or two we all just chilled. After that Kristina started to do a lot of work with apples, she picked heaps and heaps then chopped and pealed nearly all of them then preserved them.

With some of them she made apple juice and that was still a lot of work and clean up to do. There were a couple of days were she had a day off work but she did love doing stuff with apples for some reason. On Friday She got told that she was going home to Germany so on Sunday night we had a talent show for her then early in the morning she left. We all miss her dearly and hope we can go visit her in Germany some time.

Lock down Horse

During Lock down we have friends staying with us and one of them bikes with me in the evening down to see the horses at the end of our street. Their names are Marti and Star, Lela is the one that bikes with me and she is really good with horses. We like to take him carrots and puha to feed them because its really good for them. At the beginning  Marti was scared of the lead rope and didn't feel safe around people. Marti is a really sweet horse but retired from racing at only seven years old after only 16 races because he started bleeding from the lungs, Unfortunately this is very common amongst race horses becuase they are pushed beyond their bodies natural limits. She's trying to train Marti and maybe get him good enough to ride, he has really improved since the first day and is learning to trust people again through us being kind to him, maybe by the end of lock down we might be able to ride him.
