Leaving Adelaide

Well I'm about to leave Adelaide again. I've spent the last couple of week's in gumeracha packing pears and training cherry tree's to grow with the arms out horizontally instead of the natural upwards one tree objected and won the fight by hitting me on the chin so I now have a big scab. hmm how pleasant.

I've been back in ad for the weekend, Yesterday, Sunday, me and Liam headed down to The star of Greece restaurant in pot Willunga, brilliant position on a cliff at the top of the beach, could watch the waves coming in over the white sand, very pretty and Very tasty food. Liam had the fish and chips which was huge! with homemade tartar sauce. I had the lamb which was wrapped around sundries tomatoes and came with carrots and creamy potato slices, is that gratin? anyhoo I had Quince tart to finnish with syrup and ice cream, delish! We went for a walk along the beach and watched 2 eagles chasing pigeons think they were wedge tailed eagles. I don't think I've ever seen an eagle before. Then we went to Mclaren Vale and sampled the wines at Wirra Wirra wineries where Liam bought the 1999 church block and at Hugh Hamilton Fine wines where I got a merlot. Hopefully will have a chance to drink it before I go on Wednesday.

I'm not looking forward to leaving at all. But at least I've managed to be happy and enjoy the last of my days here instead of moping and moaning. The Grand prix should be good, and once I'm in Melbourne I'm sure I'll love it.

s.x oh that's the rocking horse in Gumeracha that I never got round to climbing it shut at 5pm each day so I never made it. But it didn't rock so I think it was false advertising anyway.

just a quick catch up

I'm in adelaide for the start of the fringe festival, saw a groovy parade last night with JCB's and people on old penny farthing bikes! hoping to find some grape picking work but who knows it's not quite so easy as i hoped, will definatly apply to places on monday! getting late must watch movies s.x

Wow

Wow wow wow wow wow

Today i took a day off from picking Strawberries and went to Kettering where the Australian Antarctic Division Head Quarters are. They have a museum it was really interesting and had clothes you could dress up in in a huge dressing up box! so groovy! Drank tea in the cafe downstairs and looked at lots of pretty pictures of ice. sadly no postcards or i would be busy writing them rather than e-mailing.

So i'm in my 3rd week of Strawberry picking, it's going good and i'm scoffing a fair few as i go along, so getting plenty of fruit. The hostel is a bit busy as more and more peple are arriving and waiting for apple season to start apparently you can make rally good money picking apples but you have to carry your ladder from tree to tree and pick into a bag which hangs around your neck. sounds like to much hard work for me.

Oh the Fire alarms are malfunctioning so they have been going off 6 or 7 times a night for the last few days, very sleepy and taking lots of afternoon naps.

Anyhoo not a lot of news as i haven't been up to much while here. I'm off to Adelaide on Tuesday to visit Liam for a bit and hopefully find another fruit picking job quite quickly.
