Today
I was at a friend´s home. She is in class 4B and her nickname is
Kathy. She has two guinea pigs. They are such sweet animals! I
immediately got along with them. Did you know, that they like the
same food like I do? I ate grass with them! Yummy…! It was very,
very good, because the grass came from a farmer. Furthermore, we got
some vegetables. Then we played some funny games, for example catch.
Of course I was the fastest!! But after some time I couldn´t run
anymore and then we made a break. Probably I should train my
endurance more. After some time they told me about their lives, and
if they liked it to be a guinea pig. They said very positive things.
After a while we made a photoshooting. I threw myself into position
and I find that I looked very great. I think I looked like a
successful model and I also think that I could present my figure
well! I am very happy about the photos and I think it was a wonderful
day!!!

What's up, people? It's Scaffy here.
On
Friday the 25th October I went home with Manuel. He lives
on a farm at the border of Linz and Kirchschlag with his parents, his
elder brother, his younger sister and his grandmother. They have
sheep! That's so cool. Unfortunately, we couldn' t see them, because
they were too far away to see. Their sheep are not as cool as me, but
they are related to me, so it's cool that his parents have sheep. At
first we ate plum dumplings. They were really good. After dinner he
did his homework, because he said, that he wouldn't have enough time
to do it on Saturday or Sunday. Then Manuel and I played Playsation
3. He can't play Playstation 3 during the week, but at the weekends
the sometimes plays it for about half an hour. His favourite game is
Fifa 14, so we played a match. I chose the Irish National Team and he
played with his favourite club Chelsea FC. On the picture you can see
my favorite player. It is very difficult for me to play, because I
don't have any fingers, but nevertheless I think Fifa 14 is a very
cool game. Then we played football. I'm a very good goalkeeper,
because I held a lot of his shots, but outside the goal I'm not so
good. I think football is a very cool sport. It's not a traditional
Irish sport, but it's really cool. Manuel told me, that he plays
football with his brother or he plays football in his club. After
playing football I listened to him, while he was playing the guitar.
I also tried to play it, because in Ireland a lot of people play the
guitar, but I think it looks easier than it is. But now I can already
play some handles. In the evening we ate a snack and then we watched
the "GROSSE CHANCE". It was fun to watch and there were a
lot good talents. Manuel told me that he usually does these things at
the weekend. During the week he can't always do that, because of
homework and tests. So it was a really cool day!

A day with Tobias
On
the 23th of October I went home with Tobias. We went to Gramastetten
by bus, a village near Linz. After 30 minutes we arrived at Tobi’s
place. He has got an older brother called Lukas and a younger sister
called Hannah, who always called me Scafli. At first we ate lunch.
After the meal Tobi had to do his homework so I helped him a bit and
soon we were finished. Then we went outside in the big garden. We
decided to play football. Tobi has got a small goal and his sister
was the goalkeeper, but she was a miserable one! At the small match
we played drawn. We became thirsty so we went inside to drink. After
the drink Tobi had to learn for the Latin test and his sister played
Playmobile with me. We had a lot of fun. Later while she was playing
the flute I was listening to her. It was really nice. After that Tobi
was finished with learning and we played a game called “Die Siedler
von Catan”. I won the game. Then we ate supper and in the evening
we watched TV, but I can’t remember the film.
On
the next day I stayed at Tobi’s place while he was at school. His
mother was at home and she took me to the supermarket. We bought a
lot of things. In the afternoon Tobi and I went outside again. We
climbed on a very high tree. It was a lot of fun. We played “Die
Siedler von Catan” again but this time Tobias’ dad won. After
dinner we watched Harry Potter “The Chamber of Secrets”. Then we
went to bed.
On
Friday Tobias gave me to Manuel and Jonathan.

A day on the football field
Today I watched a footballgame on the „Mühlviertler Alm“. That is a little area in the north of Austria.The team of Hellmonsödt was playing against the team of „Mühlviertler Alm“. It was a very exciting match, because both of them played a very fair and good match. But in the end „Mühlviertler Alm“ won 1:0. I was very sad, but the weather was very fine and the sun was shining, so Icould not be sad for a longer time.
I supported the team of Hellmonsödt, because in that team plays a new friend of mine. She is a 13-year-old girl and her friends also play in her team. Today it is still very seldom, that girls play football in a team, together with boys, but in Austria also girls are allowed to do this kind of sport.
This was a very funny day with my new friends and the team. ; )
The teams had to wear their own dresses, because every team has their own one. So you can see, who plays for which team. I was also allowed to wear a dress, because I was the mascot of my friend’s team. That was very funny, because all the people on the football field, had never seen a sheep at this place before.
At last, I want to show you the pictures I made:
In this photo I am wearing the dress of Hellmonsödt. I also played football, because I have to train, if I want to be a good football player.

MY DAY WITH MAGDALENA AND JULIA
My day with them was so great! At first, we went to Magdalena's home by bus. There we ate typical Austrian food calles „Schnitzerl“.- No, sorry. I didn`t eat it, because it`s meat. I only ate the salad and the potatoes. It tasted great! After it we had a desert called „Gugelhupf“. I laughed about the name, I think it`s a funny one. „Gugelhuupf“ is a sort of cake. It also tasted very good.
After
it, we watched a little bit TV - „How I Met Your Mother“. I
think, that I really like it. Then we went or a walk. We made a lot
of photos of us in the nature. After that, we went to Magdalena`s
home again. There I sat on a cat! The cat`s called „Emily“. She`s
really nice and now one of my best friends! Julia and Magdalena are
almost neighbours, so we went to Julia`s home. There I saw Julia`s
five-year-old brother Alexander. He`s really nice and he played with
me. Then we went to Julias`s pets – The rabbits. Their names are
„Dobby and Bambi“. Dobby`s a boy and Bambi`s a girl. They`re among my best friends now, too.

One day with a special girl
Hello my friends ! Last Friday I went home with Sophie. She invited me to her sister Emma´s birthday party. Emma just got three years old. But Emma is not a normal girl. She has a very rare genatic defect called CDKL5. There were only 3 people including Emma in Austria who have this defect, and only about 200 people in the world. Emma is handicapped, so she can not speak or walk. She also has epilepsy, but Emma takes medicine and this medicine stops Emma´s petit mal. She is an very funny girl, who is always laughing. She always snuggled me and also bit into my ear In the second picture you can see us: We were lying and we cross-legged our feet. That´s typical for CDKL5 kids. Sophie, Emma and I had a great day and I am the first sheep which has ever met a CDKL5 kid

Urfahranermarkt with Monika, Eva and Anna
Hello! On Sunday the 6th of October I went to the „Urfahranermarkt“ with Monika, Eva and Anna. It was very cool there. The Urfahranermarkt takes place only one week every half a year. When I was there, it was the last day. You can take a lot of rides like break dance, magic, chaos or crazymouse. These are the four vehicles I liked best! But there are not only rides, but also some sales stands where you can buy clothes and jewelery. And of course also stands, which sell some things to eat. There were sausages called „Bratwürstel“ and also sweet things like fruit spears , which were covered with chocolate. They tasted so good! Under the text you can see a picture with Anna and Eva and with me in the middle.
It was a very cool day with them!
It was a very cool day with them!

I'm back!!!
Hi there, everyone!
In case you have already been wondering - YES, I am still alive!
I arrived safely in Austria at the end of last schoolyear. Helene welcomed me and I moved in with her in her flat in Linz. School was closed over the summer holidays, of course, so I had two months' time to discover the country on my own. Helene asked me if I wanted to go on vacation to the sea with her, but I felt a bit adventurous, so I did some backpacking around the country. As I wanted to travel light, I neither had my laptop nor my camera with me. That's why I didn't write anything on the blog and why I can't show you any pictures of my summer. I can just tell you that Austria is just... amazing! I am so glad that you guys gave me the chance to come back again!
I spent quite some time hiking in the Alps and met lots of welcoming Austrians there. The landscape was just breathtaking up at about 2000 metres above sealevel and often even higher. Also Austria's lakes are worth a visit. The water is blue and very clear - the lakes are famous for their drinking water quality. And as the weather was really, really hot this year (especially for a fluffy sheep used to Irish rain), it was refreshingly cold. Summer was awesome, but I have to say that after the holidays I was already looking forward to going back to school to meet some new students at the Petrinum in Linz.
And last week, the great day had come: I met class 4b and it was a really big welcome! Here they are:
This bunch of 13- and 14-year olds are a fabulous group! They wanted to know everything about me and my country. Everybody wanted to stroke and cuddle me in the classroom. I felt overwhelmed by their enthusiasm! I am so looking forward to spending some time with this lot. Helene told me that she was already getting my schedule ready to organise who can take me home with them during the next few weeks. And of course, I will keep you informed!
