So my time at the farm has finished……. WOO HOO….. Don’t get me wrong, I have really enjoyed working there, but after 5 weeks of solid work, of which has mostly been harvesting, life got a bit tedious. Also the house I was staying in was a bit of a hole. So I stayed on the farm for Christmas, and although I wasn’t at home for Christmas I still had fun. I missed Guernsey a lot over Christmas.
Had a bit of a night, well afternoon, out with Karel and Ova (2 Estonians) the other day. Day after we finished harvesting, we went to town to celebrate with a meal and a film and some beers. Well, we had drinks in the cinema, drinks in the restaurant and drinks in between. Such good fun, they took me to see some beaches which is what Esperance is famous for, and I wanted to go swimming. With my beer jacket on, stripped down to my boxers and went for a swim. The beaches here are so clean and beautiful, and the water is so blue and warm, it was amazing! I attached a pic of Karel next to the beach, such a nice beach.
Bit of a love drama on the farm too. Ok, so Kevin and Simone hired a nanny for their children, a nice Estonian women. Mart really really liked her and spent the past 2 weeks flirting with her, Mart is the kind of guy who really thinks he is the Shiz-nizzle and thinks he is the boss of everything. So one night, we were all up drinking, and Mart went to bed early. I woke up the next morning to find Karel isnt in his bed, but is sleeping with Karel, to which Mart is very very unhappy about. So funny, he didnt speak to any of us for days, which was kind of nice.
On Christmas eve, the Estonians went to town to have a big night out. I wasn’t feeling too good, as that day I had been in town setting uo Amberland (will explain after), and I think I caught a bit too much sun. So yes, I did spend Christmas eve alone and Christmas morning. But it was ok, Christmas morning was great as I had a couple of parcels to open and lots of pics and videos from Claire to watch, thanks baby. The Estonians came back about lunch, of which we had shrimp on the Barbie and beer, YUM! Throughout the afternoon we drank beer and chilled, and then the we had the big Christmas meal. Australian families have a few strange traditions, one is where all the kids and adults stand together with little brown bags whilst the oldest member throws bags of sweets and everyone has to scramble to get them. Good fun, and tasty!
So I have my new job, yay :D Lots and lots of money!! I start on the 20th, so I have 3 weeks to spare. 2 of those weeks I have been roped in to staying in Esperance and working in Amberland. Amberland is a load of inflatable bouncy castle and water slides for children and adults, I spent the majority of this week setting it up and will spend the next 2 week working it. Its quite fun, slides rock! We were open for the first day today, and went quite well, but I got sunburnt feet :( But nothing else! Although I did get really really wet.
The final week I will spend in Perth relaxing, and enjoying a little bit of off time before I work the next few months. After my next job, I may be volunteering at Australia Zoo for a couple of weeks, as it would be so so much fun.
Anyhoo, off I go. I will need to put on more sun cream tomorrow, on my feet anyway.
