Never say never

As I left Nildottie some 1,5 months ago I stopped at a sign and made a photo of it – Farewell to Nildottie. Meanwhile thinking I was glad to put that part of my life behind me, yet not saying I will never come back. True that, because here I am once again. :)

Last time I mentioned about an interview I had lined up for Monday. It went well, but as everything here takes time, they also could not tell me if and when could they actually employ me. And as it was a public sector employer, well things might take even longer. So to keep myself busy I, among others, also called the recruitment agency who found me the farm work last time, and asked them if they had knowledge of any possible emploment opportunity near Adelaide or Melbourne area. Well they did – back here in Nildottie. To be honest I am not entirely happy about it but on the other hand, work is work and as long as it pays, I cannot complain. Moreover as the work itself is already familiar then now I am actually getting paid a bit more – farm hand level 2. It’s not much of a difference, but still something.

Other than that, nothing too much to say about, except... Within the first 2 days at work I already had 3 small issues – on Friday I somehow lost the dieseltank cork on the tractor I was working with, on Saturday I hit my head and got a small bleeding (nothing to worry about!) and later I managed to get a flat tyre. But as trouble always come in threes, then it should be enough for me. :)

What I have decided however, is that if anything else does not come along, I will be working here max up untill 4.Nov. After that I will take a wine course in Adelaide and spend another week there just enjoying the beach and hopefully surfing and thereafter I will try to move on towards Melbourne. But, as everything changes here with a short notice, then I will not promise anything either. :)

As it we are steadilyheading towards summer here then the temperatures have also changed a fair bit. Friday morning as I headed to work it was already nice and warm at 6.45AM. During the day we actually had 26 degrees. Satruday was even better - 33 degrees but a heavy wind made it just impossible to enjoy. Nevertheless, as I have been told, temperatures over 40 degrees are not incommon either. So let's wait and see what this place has to offer.

Catch you later and all the best!
