Robinvale Grape Farm

 

 

200109 開工大吉

以為落雨開唔到工.大約早上六點半左右坐車出發.學咗點剪葡萄,推車開工.Koppie好好,黎教教路,佢真係剪得好快.伯伯係農塲主人吧.佢個個都話,個個都問:你知唔知soft點解?唔要soft0既提子.又話咗我好多次,鋪個箱鋪得唔好,pack 得唔夠密.我最怕係0的成大秋0既綠提,都唔知點剪好,因為揾唔到條branch.有時剪完又接唔切,成大就提子跌落地.仲有一邊剪,頂帽一路比樹枝刮到,好狼狽.伯伯叫Rachel go home，搞到佢想返香港．唉,我一路剪一路諗,我黎都係體驗啫,揾錢都唔係係農塲揾啦．不如返Adelaide/去Ulruru.臨尾伯伯同我講：明天會好好多架啦．其實伯伯都幾好人０既．約三點半收工．去完超市買餸，我地今日０既成績表：我第二慢５０箱，記哥叫明天要剪快０的，起碼七十箱．tracy43箱．因為佢以為段鐘計．好，明天努力呀！

今早開咗半日工,我仍然好慢,剪得31箱.

今日我地用咗一個小時將七百幾箱提子pack箱.計返每人大概賺$9.

開工不足.今日放假.閒著0既時間,我地好多野玩:啤牌,麻雀,捉棋,UNO,係電腦睇戲,晚上睇下星,行約一小時出城上網,買野....同我之前諗0既苦悶農塲生活唔同.剪葡萄唔辛苦,我慢慢剪,無剪到手指.我見唔少人都剪傷手指.係呢度有一大班朋友,呢個farm stay都唔錯.

Chinatown and central market are nearby.The bathroom and kitchen not that good.when i sat in one place for a long time,i felt itchy ? bug.But in view of the price,it's nice.
