Happy easter :D

Yea yea, I know it has been a while since I last blogged, but man o man I have been busy working.  I do about 80 hours a week, every week, which means I am starting to save quite a bit of moola.  Well, I only just started, as first had to pay back people I owed money too and last wages I had to buy Jack's car.  Jack and Louise are gone now :( which meant if I didnt buy his car, I wouldnt have any way of getting to the shops, or more importantly, the pub.

So not much has really been happening, as I said before, working loads!  Been mostly sitting in a tractor all day ploughing, which is quite boring.  Reason I have been in the tractor so much is because we are laying new grass seed in all the paddocks for the cows (or moo moo's as new guy calls em), but we only do this once a year, so soon we will be done and I can get back in to stock work.

Today, is my first day off in 4ish weeks, so I made the most of it, kinda.  Last night went to town to watch Sucker Punch then go to the clubs.  Problem is, Sucker Punch was such a bad film, it just put me and Georgi in to such a lame mood we just went home.  Went to get Burger King on the way home, and they had run out of buns, lol!  So today, got to lay in, then we went for a big family lunch with Paul's family and extended family, which was awesome, then played some basketball and football for a bit.  This afternoon, coupled with some beer, me and Georgi went shooting with Dwayne (works at German Creek).  Never shot a real gun before, so this was good fun.  But dam they are loud!  Now we have practised a bit, next time we have a day off, we'll go hunting, which should be good.

Not really that much to report, I've really settled in to this job and very happy here, more than happy to be here until November.  Although really looking forward to my trip to Cairns in June, will be so nice and warm.  Recently the temperature has been as low as 10*c here, cant believe Guernsey has been hotter than Australia, insanity!

Firing my first live round ever :D (Sorry Grandma n Grandpa for the swearing oops)

Half way through cutting my hair, rockin the mohawk

Bye hair (felt like a bit of a hobo with all that hair)

New guy, broken phone and finger sucking






Hooray, working internet, I can finally start uploading videos and pictures, if your interested??

So, as the title suggests we have a new guy that started working here this week, German (yes another one) and very strange.  Very strange.  Walks around in just his boxers and makes really strange noises, and very geeky, he screamed (as in like a girl) out in amazement when I said my laptop's battery lasts over 10 hours. 

So, I broke my phone, the screen is cracked.  Oops.  I don't even think I sat on it, I must have just dropped it, arg!

Right, been spending past 4 days setting fire to the farm.  It's quite fun, they just send me out on a quad bike with a petrol can full off diesel petrol and a firebug, o and a 5l bottle of water, its such thirsty work.  Its really hard though, just walking 11 hours straight in really hot conditions waving a 10kg lump of metal around, but fun.  And, I only lost some leg hair, only a little bit.

Jack and Lousie leave in a few days, so last night we all went out and had a blast! One of the best nights out I had in a while.  Went to a club in Mount Gambier, had this amazing band on, they rocked!!  I was dancing like a fool all night, little fish big fish cardboard box!  Problem though, didnt get back until 4am, and had to start work at 10am, ouch.  Thankfully new guy didn't drink, O and we only call him new guy, he seems to like it.

Right, off to sleep.  Night all zzzzzz

 
A calve from German Creek, so dam cute!
