I heart fernando

Have decided once again to change my plan..but more of that in a moment


Have been busy again here at Fleurs. The heatwave has passed and we have had two days of cool weather and a welcome fall of rain.


Yesterday we were in the vineyard taking out the weeds and today me and sinny dug about 30 feet of holes in total in preparation for some beams going in for some decking. Sinny was so proud he was sick! Probably the workout that caused it in all honesty, not the overwhelming sense of achievement. Gave the guns a work out and will no doubt feel it tomorrow. There are so many flies here its unbelievable..when your working outside there are at least 20 flying round buzzing and crawling on your face its not nice...I have photo evidence to prove this, and lots more photo's of the various jobs we have been doing which I will get online soon.


We went out last night to the greyhounds, but we found out when we got there the minimum bet was $3 and so we decided to bail and went to an irish pub for some food instead (chicken, vegies and curly fries).


So the new plan...I have decided that i am not going to get my 2nd visa here and am going to spend the rest of my time here working a little and traveling the rest. After that I am planning on a trip to Asia and then possibly a return to New Zealand...not really sure to be honest but will see where the wind takes me. Still not sure when I will be back in blighty but im sure it wont be for a while yet!


I came to the conclusion that I wouldnt stay here till April 2010 anyway, and the year would follow much the same pattern as this one (work a lot, live somewhere for short term and travel some) which has been v.good but i have seen most of what i want to see and Im ready to move on to pastures new...I will see the rest of the stuff before i leave..and i can always come back here on a tourist visa if I want to. Wwoofing experience has been refreshing and enjoyable but Melbourne is a calling...back to where it all began to get the most out of my last few months here...
