Farm life is not getting any easier.

17-20 June 2019


17 June 2019:

We went to collect bread, fruit, and vegetables. Then we had breakfast. We went egg collecting with the guests on the farm and fed the pigs with them. After that, the four of us went to the other property to remove fences. Like the previous days, I eventually got hungry and didn't want to continue. My mood sank. Finally, we had lunch at 4 o'clock. I took a shower annoyed and hid in the caravan. Later, we had dinner.

Same routine in the morning. Then I got to clean up and empty a small hut to create a new home for the chicks. Afterwards, we were sent to repair the fence. Without much equipment, we had to improvise. Everything was done without any organization.

At noon, we were supposed to collect more vegetables. I was supposed to drive, but after nine months without driving a manual car (only automatic so far in Australia), I was out of practice. They said I shouldn't drive before I have an accident. Of course, I was insulted, but on the other hand, I didn't care about their opinion. I know I am a good driver. After a long time without manual driving, it takes a few minutes to get used to a clutch again. In the end, someone else drove.

After lunch, we repaired the fence more effectively with better equipment and the help of the son until 5 o'clock. The working hours somehow keep getting longer every day.

We collected vegetables and fruit. Had breakfast. Helped with honey extraction at noon. In the evening, we were able to witness the milking of a cow. Just before it got dark, we drove with the guests in two cars to a field to observe kangaroos. That was cool!

Today, we also went to a supermarket where we could still get bread mostly. And what do I discover in between? Pretzels! After more than nine months, pretzels again! They were hard, but they became soft again after the microwave. Not from a bakery, but still.

Afterwards, we milked again and I got to try it as well. It's not that easy. Then we spent the rest of the day relocating the chickens. It was exhausting carrying all the fences. At least time flies when you're busy.
