hello dudes,
Right last time i updated my e-mail it was telling you i was starting work on the vineyards picking grapes for all you alchos back home lol, anyway i did start my new job friday morning 5.30 in the am, we where all piled into a van n driven about 30 mins in the country somewhere (a bit like emmerdale if you ask me), we arrived n the dude in charge briefed us on what grapes where arse n which where the real-deal etc, he then said for every bucket we fill be will earn $2.20, (hang on a min jackie we where told back in Perth that we are hourly paid, this guy just shrugged off my comment n said the lady who gave us the job had misinformed about 12 grafters that we would be getting hourly paid and 8+ hours a day, so we kicked off our new found career lol with upset !!!!!!. We decided to give it a shot anyway n maybe we could earn more than what they said per hour (i couldnt be more wrong), we picked away at the mini trees that held our wages n at 1st it was fine, the weather was cool at 8am, some little dude was behind me telling me his special way to cut the grapes (nice 1 captain), so the buckets where taking a while to fill n the heat was rising like aunt bessies yorkshire puddings, we changed lanes from green grapes to red ones n that was the most entertaining part of the day apart from the free cake that was dished out, so end of the day comes and we worked out how much cash we have made before the tax man has his nibbles, it worked out crap but the guy was saying stay for a few weeks n become a top-grape picker (na thanks mate), we where gutted we had been lied to buy this agency bird in Perth n was 5-6 hours away to see her, never mind our hostel was right on the beach in Dunsbrough n was a class place to chill as we already paid up a week, so we thought quick look for another job n fired our mobile numbers out to a few places.
After our day with the grapes we rang a lady who had some cleaning work n ellie managed to get me n her a job cleaning, decent cash n thought id give it a go, the 1st day was a dream, the lady whos business it was just wanted to see if we could hack the graft (i think we made a good impression) and decided to give us a company car and from then on me n ells have been cleaning mansions along the beach, no joke these houses are summer homes for the wealthy folk around here and are hugh, i still dont know why 1 house must have 3-4 toilets thou, its class seeing how these fellas live with the beach views right on the balcony (fair play im only jelous lol), we have been working long days but its all cash to blast when we get to the east coast,so thats about it really work all day then come home a game of fuzz-ball on the beach, chill with some of the locals, its a quality hostel prob 1 of the best we have been in up 2 now id say, oh yeah im thinking about going great white cage diving if i earn enough cash, its meant to be a right buzz, these fellas are the nuts !!!!!!!, its queit expensive but quality to see them cruising about, so my amigos off to snooze for me as im grafting in the morn ,
see ya.
p.s just to level 1 thing out the cleaning dont mean i wear yellow gloves n silly cloths, its shorts all the way my friends (nuff said) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
