So we had a weeks break from work which included a trip to Brisbane where we went hither and dither buying things we needed such as a deep cycle battery and dumping stuff that we didn't need with the rest of our belongings in storage.
Then celebrated Joey's 40th birthday on the Saturday which included both of us playing some tunes which we very much enjoyed (so much so that the decks are now in the boot of the van :) ).
We finally managed to pull ourselves free of the gravitational pull of Brisbane on Monday and would like to thank everyone who has put us up or put up with us.
Whilst on the way home we had a text from the job agent about a starting work the next day.... result!
So we our now doing strawberry runners which basically involves sorting out the good plants from the bad in a big shed along with 300 other people. We get paid between $5.55-$7.55 (depending on the variety) per crate and a crate holds 4 bundles of 25 and need to get about 25 to be earning enough but it has been a slow start and have both been suffering with back problems from standing on concrete all day.
We spent last saturday night and all of sunday at Jeff & Katrina block of land and we have started helping them get it ready for Jeff's 40th which is going to be over Easter more details to follow.

ReplyDeleteWe have more pics to post but need to steal someone else's interwebs for that job as it's too pricey for us to upload. Planning a stealth mission to macca's as they have free internet but can't quite bring ourselves to step through the golden-arched doors of hell.
