7. viikko
Viikonloppuna pääsin ensimmäistä kertaa elämässäni laukkakisoihin, täällä oli Champions Weekend, eli isot laukkakisat lauantaina ja sunnuntaina. Lauantaina kisat olivat Leopardstownissa ja sunnuntaina Curraghissa.
Lauantaina juhlittiin myös mun synttäreitä. Aamulla heräsin ensimmäiseen onnitteluviestiin kuudelta aamulla, ei kiva. Muistakaa ihmiset aikaero. Ihana passaus aamu oli, kaikki tehtiin valmiiksi ja ihania lahjoja. Perheen äiti antoi minulle lahjakortin Marks & Spenceriin, ihanan suihkusaippuan ja suklaata. Oikean äidin synttärilahjaa odotin jo kuumeisesti, mutta lahjan julkaisun takia ei lahja ihan saapunut synttäreiksi.
Sunnuntaina Curraghin laukkaradalle toiseen kisapäivään. Curraghissa meno oli vähän hillitympi ja ihmisiä oli vähemmän, kaikki eivät olleet niin pukeutuneet, paitsi tietysti hevosten omistajat olivat täydessä tällingissä. Koska olimme jo "kokeneita" kävijöitä emme juosseet paikasta toiseen kuin päättömät kanat. Curragh oli myös lapsiystävällisempi, paljon erilaisia aktiviteetteja lapsille, mutta meidän ei niistä niin kiinnostuneet. Rankan viikon ja sitäkin hektisemmän viikonlopun jälkeen oli aivan kuitti. Sunnuntaina meni kyllä aikaisin nukkumaan.
Week 7
First whole week at school and all the hobbies started. Scouts on Tuesdays and Thursdays, piano and violin on Wednesdays. Week went by basically getting used to a new schedule.
On weekend I got to go the race for the first time in my life, they had a Champions Weekend, so big races on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday they were in Leopardstown and on Sunday in Curragh.
On Saturday we celebrated also my birthday. In the morning I woke up for the first birthday wish message at six, not nice. Remember the time difference. The morning was lovely, everything was done for you and got wonderful presents. Family's mom gave me a gift card to Marks & Spencers, nice body soap and some chocolate. I was waiting my own mom's present for me but because the publishing date of my gift it didn't quite arrive for my birthday.
Back to the topic so around two in the afternoon we arrived to Leopardstown's race course where the first race was about to begin. Because of my birthday I got a glass on champagne with my lunch. It didn't matter which way you look, you saw more and more extraordinary fashion designs. Some of the hats were beautiful, but some of them were just ridiculous. Everyone was dressed nicely and so were we. In parade ring we saw world famous jockey Ruby Walsh. In the evening we ordered pizza and watched Racing Stripes.
On Sunday we headed to the Curragh race course for the seconds race day. In Curragh it was more restrained and there were less people compared to Leopardstown, and not all were dressed up, except the owners of course. Because were "experienced" goers we didn't run from one place to another like headless chickens. Curragh was also more child friendly, lots of different activities for children but ours didn't get that excited about them. After hard week and more hectic weekend I was exhausted. I went bed early that day.
