Wow....2 more days until my visa offically expires!
Ive been working pretty hard the last few weeks too....Went back to helping the guy with his fence, and a bit of digging around the house again, which was cool. Kept me occupied!
Then I went onto a Sultana Harvest for a few days, where I was on the trailer behind the harvester, pulling all the big branches out of the bins etc. It was a little bit monotomous, but it'll be pretty good money when the farmer finally gets a bit of time off to come and pay me! I also had my 1st near death experience! :) Well, it wasnt that bad, but one of the tractors had a really vicious clutch, and most of the time i remembered to have a hold onto the back of the trailor so i didnt fall over.
This time id gotten too involved in pulling out twigs etc, so when the tractor started, I fell off, scraped my entire side down the bin, nearly had my ankle go under the wheels, but held myself up. The farmer didnt bloody stop for me! Then as I dragged myself up, cursing and swearing, a bloody vine came along and nearly launched my glasses into the vines! Suffice to say, the air turned a bit blue!
Then after that ive done a few days sultana picking, which was alright. An extra bit of pocket money. Now ive applied for my visa, which is pretty cool. We'll have to see how it goes. I cant get hold of a few of the farmers ive done work for, so I couldnt put down all my days, but never mind! Whats there should do the trick! Theres enough anyhows...
Other than that a new couple of people have come into the hostel, who seem pretty cool! One of them is almost as music mad as i am, which is pretty good! Although she has gone around all of the locals trying to set me up writing music, and playing. Well, im supposed to do a christening on sunday. 2 hours, happy / oldish music. I dont really have time, well. not until I know whats happening about my visa...
It should be fine, but id rather have it in writing! Then I can concentrate on my music again. Also, If a farm job comes up, I cant really skip in and out of it for all these gigs. But we'll see. If one doesnt I suppose ive got a few extra dollars and a bit of beer on the sunday!
So yes. Thats the Red Cliffs update!
