Day 70 Fruit Picking, the last day ever! As planned I went into work for the last day ever today to finish the strawberry season. Greg had been irrigating the 2 patches he is going to 'return' the plants for next year, so we went in today just to pull out all the weeds, giving the plants the best chance of survival until next year. It was flipping hot again today, making a hard job a bit worse, but no one was too worried as it was our last day. We had finished...

So today the family will arrive home at some point, but I have absolutely no idea when. I had a lay in the morning, and didn't get up until about 9am. I knew I would have to wait around until I heard from the prawn fisherman to see it I was going to be able to go out on his boat, so just chilled around the house until he phoned. As it turned out about 10 minutes before he rang, Greg phoned. He said there would be a days work tomorrow weeding the patches he is r...

3rd day without Internet, it makes you realise how much you use it thats for sure! I had a bit of a lay in this morning, but was pretty confused when I woke up - my phone was set to 'Sydney Time Zone' and it said it was 9something am, but it definitely didnt feel that late. It turns out that all the southern states, and WA have daylight savings, so their clocks goes forward an hour. However Queensland and everywhere north don't, so are on the same longitude, but...

Today was another uninteresting day for a blog entry. As planned I got up about 5am sorted out all the animals, then drove down to Currimundi Lake for the dawny. Unfortunately the surf was even smaller than the 1-2ft I expected, and was only 1ft max the whole time I was in. It's always nice to get out in the ocean, but the surf was pretty dull. I just took the leg rope off my board and messed about really. I got back gone home about 9ish, and had all good inten...

Today I woke up about 8am and didn't have anything planned, so similarly to yesterday I just had breakfast, sorted the animals and then just chilled at home. Laying by the pool was really got today, the only time I looked at the thermometer was at 8:30am, and it was already 23 degrees, so midday could easily have been around 30. I spent all morning by the pool, and also did lots of swimming to keep cool. It's the 1st time I have really felt like staying in and ...
