Mayday and May Day

About two weeks ago I told you what I was planning to do the next days. Now I want to tell you what actually happened ;-)

I really was taking some pictures at the breeding show on 19.04. and it worked fine. Only my camera decided to make trouble again and so I stopped without taking pictures of the riding-horses. But here you can see a picture of a mare in the confirmation assessment (byggingardómur). Her name is Dagrún von Hof Osterkamp and she is daughter of Leikur frá Lækjarbotnum and Fífa frá Herríðarhóli. Because of the trouble which my camera made I decided not to take more pictures of the breeding show on Friday and went to a village near my home to visit some iceland-horse-friends and to meet my new riding instructor. I hope we will do fine together but I am sure about this ;-)

Few days after the breeding show I was taking pictures at a firmakeppni on the same farm where the breeding-show was. It was great weather and I got my first sunburn. It was no problem to take about 1400 pictures and I was glad that my camera was fine again!!! See attached a picture of my friend Claudiii with her horse Órion frá Tréstöðum in skeið.

I didn't brought my car into the workshop because my mechanic was too busy :o(( Now we will try it again this Saturday. My poor car is running and running, I think I made about 10.000 km in 6 months... Here you can see a picture taken by me out of the window during driving on the highway very early in the morning. On Friday I drove to the North Sea to visit my parents who spent their holidays there. My father is unfortunately rather sick and the air is much more fresh on the North Sea so they decided to try these holidays to get him more healthy. On Sunday I drove back but made a stop at the farm where Baga lives because they had an event there. Unfortunately I have not many pictures because my camera decided after 60 pictures that she wants to die *grrrr*. Helvíti ljósmyndavél!!!!! I tried it again and again but she always had the same error... Now I have to buy a new one. Great that I am such a rich bitch that I can buy a new camera almost immediately for soooo less money (Attention: irony!!!). I am checking if a repair would be worth to be done but I am afraid that not. Why does she need to broke down one week before Baga is coming to me??? I want pictures of her with her new friends - 3 arabian horses!!! And pictures of Baga in a rape-seed-field....Baga in summer-coat...further Sigrún wants pictures of Baga and me :o)))

But now I stop grumbling because I want to sit outside in the sun and clean all my horse-stuff which I took with me on Sunday. In 5 days we will pick-up Baga and drive her home to me. But I am already getting nightmares because I know that she hates horsetrailers...please keep your fingers crossed that everything will work fine, that Baga will find friends in the 3 arabian horses and that no-body and no-horse will get hurt.
