Simply cycling around
Hey :-) the first apple week is finished and I’m happy to be on weekend. This job is very very VERY repetitive but it’s not as physical as landscaping. There is different kind of apple trees so if we have a good imagination we can can almost think that it’s a new job, almost…
Finally! After 2 weeks of break I’ve started working. It’s not the most interesting job but we can make good money. This week is a training time. We start with little trees and we have to be as fast as possible. Apple thinning consist to pick some fruits and let the other growing normally. I know, the picture is totally different but during my work I was thinking about my next dessert : “Paris Brest” :-). It’s not a simple one but I wanted to try. I’ve took only one picture because the final result was flat and the cream was too liquid. Fortunately it was god :-) I’ve eat sugar for one week at least haha.
Today the weather is unstable but we should finish to paint the house before Jane, Manila and Brownie come back. They will a good surprise, a new yellow house :-) Finally around 3 or 4 pm we did it! There is one more layer to put on the preview green color but the main part is done and we can see the result :-)
Yesterday Chris propose to me to do to painting. Why not :-) I like working like that and I’m learning different thing so when I will have my own place I could everything by myself. I like that :-) That’s cool, it’s like wwoofing.
Because of the shiny day, Russel proposed me to return to the lookout view and see how is without clouds. Sure it,s better :-) When I will come back in Tauranga next time (around 1st November) I will go around the mount. This morning we continued to work on the outside of the house. We prepared the wall around the windows so Russel could fix the wood panels. I did also some different things I side during Russel was taking his door from the shop. But I finished all the work he gave me before he came back. So I did my speciality : cleaning :-)
These two last weeks passed very fast and I worked every day. Maybe now I will take time to visit around haha. I heard about “Rainbow falls” and “Puketi forest”, good places to visit. So finally, we continued planting palms trees, edges, flours, the job didn’t change for sure but now, every morning, I feel pain to my hands, I can’t move my fingers. It’s like when we play handling a stick very strongly for one minute and after that it’s difficult to open our hand. It’s not horrible but I’ve never felt my hands like this. All the entrance of the district is almost finish. A truck came with the main door but they just did some adjustments and went back with. Rah! I would like to see all this place finished before I leave and take a great picture of our job:-). This job was interesting and physically difficult but now I know some landscaping tips :-). Next time I would like to learn how to build a wood house. In fact, kiwis, like Australian people, like to use wood to realise the main body of the house.
