Well, so much for that!
So this last 10 days, a lot of exciting things have been happening. The biggest and most significant one was perhaps the arrival of this gorgeous boy on Wednesday...
Everybody say hello to Murphy! He's come to live with me as his Mum is struggling to find the time to look after him, so I'm borrowing him and he's come to teach me all about being a strong, brave and determined rider. We're working on it!
So this week has basically been a blur of preparing for his arrival, and then trying to settle into a routine. He's on DIY livery, so I go up every morning before lectures and turn him out in the field and then muck him out and sort him out for bedtime, then I have to schedule in a return to the yard each day to bring him in, put his jammies on and give him his dinner. I'm exhausted but I'm loving the challenge!
Another exciting thing that's happened this week is that I have applied for a student internship helping to organise the 2015 European Championships in September next year. If I get the job, this will involve me moving to Scotland for the 1st May and staying there for 5 months being incredibly busy and chaotic. Clearly Murphy will either have to come with me or go back to his Mum. I'm quite hopeful that he'll be able to come with me on an adventure :) I find out if I have an interview by the 12th so I'm keeping my fingers well crossed!
In other news my weight has finally started dropping off, and my skin is looking pretty darn good too so I'm fairly pleased with how that's all going. Hopefully I can keep it up!
