It´s Hard Work

Layla clothes were really dirty. Now I have to clean them. I also change Layla´s nappy every day and feed her a special porridge that I buy in the toy shop. It´s hard work to be a mommy!!

Kai and I on ice

Kai, me and Layla getting ready to skate.

School holidays!! I´ve been skating with my friend Kai. He is 9, almost 10 years old. He is one of few boys who do figure skating in Johannesburg (I only know of two). I think Kai is very brave. Sometimes, boys can get teased if they do other sports than like soccer, rugby and ice-hockey. That is so unfair. That is so stupid.
Kai and I practise pair skating together. Later this year, we might compete in Rising Stars.

Warm-up.

To town, to town

Me and Layla in Commissioner Street.

I live in Johannesburg. It is the biggest town in South Africa. Some say that there are 1,5 million people here, others say 3 or even 5 millions.

On Saturday afternoon, I went to town with Layla to visit my brother Nils. He studies at university and has a flat in city. We had brought Oreo cup cakes and we played Yatzy. I won.  

I like Johannesburg because there is an ice-rink here. I wouldn´t like to live anywhere else because I have friends and family here. I also like looking at grafitti when I am in town. 

The monster is cute.

Here´s a mystery! Who poured pink paint over Shakespear House?

Me and my red dress

On the first March 2015, I participated in my first figure skating competition, The Gauteng Provincials. My mom and dad were very nervous, but I was mostly excited and was looking forward to skate in my new red dress. People thought I look like Annie (from the movie) and my music was "It´s a hard knock life".
It was really fun. My most difficult jump was the flip. I didn´t fall and I came second in my group, Chicks under 9. I also won a prize for being the most promising skater.
