Happy 19th Maddy!
Woke up expecting to have a full hectic day and I was told is only a half day on Fridays and always is. Great start to the day! Unfortunately the rest of the morning involved seeing sawdust again. It took 5 of us to clear the whole pen in 3 hours. I didn't realise how much sawdust was actually in there until it all had to come out. I suppose having a 5 ton elephant on it does compress it....a lot! The compressing didn't help us get it out. Most of it was solid. We then had to dump it on top of Dung Mountain. It is this huge pile of dung and it even has a bridge over to another pile! I felt like the 7 dwarfs at work. Abi and I even starting singing Disney songs to get us through the sawdust nightmare.
Clearing it was only the beginning as trucks of sawdust arrived and we had to unload, reload into the pen and then spread it out. I have never been so dusty in my life. It was everywhere! You could tell
who had worked with the sawdust as there was evidence all in their hair. A shower has never felt so good!
Fridays in the afternoon is always food shopping time. I am definitely more prepared now after I went to one on Monday after 20hrs of travelling. I even had a list! Still found more things to spend my money on though and wasn't quite expecting the bill at the end. What was worse still, is my card didn't want work and they had to do it 'online' or something. The feeling of having no money in a foreign country is not good! Luckily there was no problem at the cash machine.
Tonight was filled with us playing cards and having a few drinks. We were meant to go out for the German girls last Friday night but they still had a lot of work to do for their project. It was a really good laugh. We played poker where Abi and I smashed David to the floor! And then we played some stupid game he made up, with a few drinks in us though, it was funny and the girls took a break from their project and joined in.
