Friday

Insta-Friday

It's Friday and I thought I'll do a small round up of the week with some insta-catch up ..
You can also turn the blue button into green and follow me :-)
(Here)

To cheer up this 50 shades of grey end of January / beginning of February mood, I thought it was time to bring in some color with these blue shoes...






Aren't they cute?
Certainly a good way to distract from this...


Miserable, miserable rain...



Since the white snow world melted away we have been hit by enormous rainfalls which made our shed flooded. Booh.
At least (fortunately) we do not have a cellar!

Horse(wo)mannish



Horse riding is one of my passions. 
This is how it looks if I get ready to go.
3 layers of clothes, since it is still quite cold, riding pants with fake leather on the inside to prevent slippery business when in the saddle, body warmer, jodpur boots, and leather chaps.

I do have Cavallo boots, but I only got those chaps (by Busse) a few months ago, and I find them quite comfortable.


For the rest I need a helmet, riding gloves (I use these, already for ages, I truly think they're the best)and spurs. And carrots. Lots of carrots, bread and apples of course ;-) 

Another one arrived this week, someone who really wanted to hop on my classics club reading list.
(I better plan a whole year extra for him, ha ha)

Here he is... 



And now I wish everyone a lovely weekend!

What are your plans? 
Did anyone read Ulysses already? How was it for you?
And anyone else into horseback riding?

Love,
Svenja

  3. I love riding too! Although I'm quite laid back - at the farm where my parents live we have 4 horses, but we just ride them in the woods behind our house.

    Also, I tried to read Ulysses (I'm a classic kick too) and i could only read the first 10 pages. I had NO idea what was going on. I'll have to try again sometime.

  4. Hallo Svenja,

    bisher sind Filmeviews bei mir nicht in Aussicht. Ich kann dir soweit aber sagen, dass trotz super Besetzung ein ehr mittelmäßiger Film für wenig Anspruch ist. Dementsprechend ist es kein Film, den man unbedingt haben muss. Aber für einen gemütlichen Sonntag, ein perfektes Mittel zum Entspannen.

    Allerliebste Grüße,
    Katta.

  5. LOOOOVE the shoes! My feet would freeze if I wore them at the moment though :-(

    We've had rain all week too, and more forecast for next week. Sucks!

    1. Yes, me too. I just wear them inside and throw myself in my boots when I leave the house :)
      Yep, same here. But this weekend is AMAZING -- second day of blue skies, yay!!

  8. Hallo Svenja!

    Danke für Deinen tollen langen und leidenschaftlichen Kommentar ;)

    Ich LIEBE Reithosen, ich wünschte, ich hätte einen Grund, sie anzuziehen - ich finde, die machen bei JEDEM eine tolle Figur und irgendwie hab ich einfach meine Kindheit in Reithosen verbracht - ich bin sogar in Reithose zur Schule, weil meine Mum mich direkt nach der Schule zum Stall gefahren hat. Und weil ich keine Lust hatte, mir Gedanken zu machen, was ich sonst anziehen soll, haha. Zum Glück waren wir mitten in Afrika und es hat keinen interessiert.

    Zur GEZ: Ich hab ja meinen Wohnsitz in Deutschland noch. Und so lange ich den hab, muss ich auch blechen. Doof ist das :(

    Ich wünsche Dir einen wundervollen Start in die Woche!
    Hier scheint heute mal die Sonne - ich hüpfe schon den ganzen Morgen tanzend durch die Wohnung!
