Life with fresh fruit.

Hey all. I'm working on a farm outside of Perth. It's a really full time job 6 days a week and I don't get into town very often. But I'm here now and I'm updating the blog. I drive tractors, and other machinery. Yesterday I had to use a hoe. It was fun for about 5 minutes. the rest of the 8 hours and 55 minutes were, well, interminable. We were weeding the butternut squash patch. some of the weeds were ludicrously big. Like, bigger than the squash plants. and because it's a hoe, you have to bend a bit. My back was really sore after. Thankfully on monday I'm back on the nectarines. One more week of nectarines, and then some apples and plums, and then watermelons, rockmelons and butternuts. I'm already tanned, and getting more tanned. My eyes are turning green......weird. also my hair is growing longer. I hope by the time I get home it is long enough to tie back, because I am going to grow it until I can do that. The family here is really nice. They are italian, old school, so that's pretty cool. They give us some homemade wine, and we are allowed drinking beer at lunch. I don't do that, but if I wanted to I would be allowed. Anyways, the plan is that I have to come home around march, because I have to get ready for some sort of ice hockey season. I'll stay here until I have to come home, I've almost been here a month already. Oh. And if you're wondering about the job in adelaide it sucked reallll bad. I hated it. This is much nicer, and I'm making some good money here. I'll keep it posted when I can, I imagine you'll see me sooner or later.....
