The two last days at the farm
canadiantour, 21:35h
Thursday/Friday, Aug 18 and 19
On Thursday my longest work day was awating me... fortunately i felt loads better this day, so i managed 10 hours of work (like harvesting kale and washing+baging salad) quite good ;)
Friday was already my last day on the farm. Orginally I wanted to leave on Sunday, but as the farmer people will be quite busy on Sunday, I decided to go already on Saturday. This way i wont have the chance to go Squamish, but well... probably better to relax a bit more right now ;) =P at least there is a week full of work awating me in Vancouver.. so I should be fit enough for that.
We were harvasting amongst others arugola, cumcumbers and zuccini on Friday. When we started to harvest the cucumbers, though, Claudie and I got to know that there is a wasp nest close to the bed. One stung Claudie in her hand and – of course I had the luck – to be stung right into the face...^^ so still one half of my face is swollen xD i wasnt delighted about that, of course, but fortunately it doesnt hurt anymore and i just hope that my face will come back to normal soon.
After work (4 pm) I was just taking a shower, doing my laundry and repacking my stuff in my backpack to be ready for the next day ;)
I am getting better with packing every time i have to do it, I think =P =D probably I wont have to do it the next 6 weeks, though.
And I learned some new english words during my stay on the farm, by the way, such as kale, parsley, cricket, swiss chard and beets to mention only some of them =) you will notice that almost all of them are vegetables =P hope that I can keep them in mind.
Tomorrow I have to get up already at around 4 am, so I will go to bed soon...=) cya
