The day began with the usual routine on the farm: distributing hay and cleaning the stables 🌾. My wrist had been hurting a bit since the previous day, so I tried to be careful while working and not strain it too much.
During the break I called my dad and spent some time writing for my blog ✍️. It felt good to slow down for a moment and reflect on everything that had already happened since arriving in Ireland.
In the afternoon there was more hay to distribute and some cleaning work around the stable area. Even though it was a normal workday, I realized how much more confident I already felt with my tasks 💪.

Today was my day off, so I decided to visit Dublin again 🚍. I had a small list of things I wanted to see, and one of them was the wax museum.
The museum was surprisingly interesting. It wasn’t just wax figures but also lots of historical scenes and stories about Ireland 📚. I actually enjoyed it even more than the one in Berlin.
After exploring the museum I walked through the city for a while, did a little shopping, and enjoyed the lively atmosphere of Dublin 🏙️ before heading back to the farm in the evening.

Today was a rather quiet and ordinary workday on the farm. Nothing particularly exciting happened, but sometimes those calm days are actually quite nice 😊.
In the evening there was a small creative activity: a necklace evening. Everyone could make their own necklaces from colorful beads 💎.

The day itself was quite normal: working with the animals, cleaning, and doing the usual tasks around the farm 🐐.
In the evening things became more entertaining because we organized a UNO night 🎲. This time we played “UNO Flip”, which turned out to be a surprisingly chaotic version of the game.
Some people struggled with the rules at first, which made it even funnier 😅. After a lot of laughter and a few confusing moments, I actually managed to win the game 🏆.

The morning started like every other working day: feeding hay and cleaning the stables 🌾. However, something about the atmosphere in the stable with the mother horse and her foal made me feel very uncomfortable.
After a comment from Owen I suddenly felt very insecure and overwhelmed. Later, while working outside, four horses suddenly approached me and I realized too late that they were coming toward me 🐴.
At the end of the day I was completely exhausted, both physically and mentally. I was honestly just relieved to be alone in my room and finally relax for a while 🛏️.

Finally another day off! Justine and I planned a trip to Glendalough for a small hiking adventure 🏞️.
After arriving we walked along one of the trails and stopped at a beautiful lake to take a break. I even showed Justine a few things about using a camera properly 📸.
Later it started raining, which is pretty typical for Ireland ☔. We escaped into a cozy pub, ate chicken wings, and waited for the bus back while enjoying the view of the surrounding nature 🌲.

Back to the usual farm routine: distributing hay, cleaning stables, and taking care of the animals 🌾. It was a calm and steady workday without any major surprises.
In the afternoon I helped move a large hay bale, which turned out to be harder than it sounds 💪.
After finishing the work I finally had some time to relax and enjoy the quiet evening on the farm. Sometimes the simple days are the most peaceful ones 🌅.
