EZ N UP: ON THE ROAD AGAIN................

I finished my first week as a wittler of witlof, only did till 11.30am on friday as we only had a small order - buggar.
Oh and I got promoted from just being a wittler - I was allowed to stick labels on the witlof and at the end of the day I got to wash down the conveyor belt and there is a special way of doing it you know! I want you all to go to Woollies and look for the witlof in the supermarket and look at how it has been wittled beautifully and the labels stuck even better.
I was a bit tired after a weeks work - oh yeah nearly a week (australia day was a holiday) so had a couple or five gin an tonics to start the weekend.

On saturday did the domestic chores and had a quiet night in - it was a bit warm so we veged. Sunday was even hotter so after an early morning walk we packed a picnic and went down to Badger Creek weir for a a lovely afternoon next to the creek eating gourmet sangas and sipping champagne.

Tone spent all of thursday friday and saturday chasing work but to no avail - its alwasy I will give you a call and it becomes frustrating as we are bothin willing a able to do anything - except for weeding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sunday night brought about some changes as we chatted to a few people on sunday and decided to head north of Healesville to Shepparton where the fruit picking is starting and OMG we turn up and its 42C - we will melt away picking the plums........

Of course there is the "mafia" way where you go with "Terry" to the farm or go through the red tape version. You want to get work but you have to deal with sarcastic shitty bitches - who look down on "pickers" - its a real problem we are encountering - but we will soldier on. We are off to do some serious door knocking tomorrow and if all else fails we will pick for "Terry"!!!!!!!!!

Its so funny but we were playing sequence with Gloria and Barry and the next night they came over and wanted to play again so Gloria wore her aussie apron and pointed to the words on it instead of swearing - what a laugh - but her favurite saying was "Off with your head and on with a pumpkin"
I suppose you had to be there but it was cute - she is 80 next month and her and Barry are still travelling around - good on them!!

Monday we were up early to leave Healesville to get to Shepparton - a really good run - nearly all the way on freeways which suited me. I don't like the windy roads and hills - scary!!!!!
