Day 59 Fruit Picking - Once again today was just another standard day at work. It was pretty 'cold' though actually today, especially as there was a strong wind around. It took us all day to pick 1 patch as there was so much fruit on it, and about an hour and a half to pick just 1 row. By the end of the day we were all pretty over it..but we are working Saturday again this week to try and get more done. There is no way we will get close to picking the whole far...

Day 58 Fruit Picking - Today was just another day as far as work was concerned. I was back out in the patch picking again though which was a very welcome break from the shed! Although having said that, the day did seem to go pretty slowly after about lunch time.. I knew I was going off to pick up my car after work, so I was just ready to go and do that, instead of picking strawberries. As planned I came home and had a quick shower, then Mark took me down to Ca...

Day 57 Fruit Picking - Despite my bets efforts to be picking out in the patch today, I was asked my Greg to work in the shed again, like yesterday as he was doing pine's again.

We also managed to pack a lot of fruit, so we have almost caught up and got rid of the backlog we have had for...

Day 56 Fruit Picking - I was on my way to work this morning when Greg rang me and told to just go straight into the shed and do his job (packing the boxes and generally keen things running along), as he was out picking Pineapples again. Although its good to go in there for a few hours sometimes, spending a whole entire day in there is worse than picking, for sure. Never the less I did spend the whole working day in there, until I knocked off an hour early at 2:...

Day 55 Fruit Picking - Back to work again today, and god was it difficult getting up early this morning. It's amazing how much difference getting up early for that extra morning on and Saturday and working makes a difference. How builders/tradies can work 6/7 day weeks all the time I have no idea! It was a much cooler day at work today, at only 24 degrees, but the humidity was high so it was quite sweaty. Once again there is more fruit on again this week than w...
