well i ve finally found a computer that has a keyboard that works. if anyone has had an email from me recently you will notice i have had no letter 'a' or 'z'. gravy was spilt on that laptop so it doesnt work properly. so im here at the sheep farm, this will be my last week here, its been so much fun here ive loved it. the family are great and iv had to look after the kids several times but theyre great fun. im looking after the 2 yr old today, hes busy sleeping so iv got some free time/break. other jobs ive been having to do is painting, weeding the garden, ironing, its all really easy and im getting paid for it AND i get free accomodation and free food how great is that!! my house mate Matthew is alot of fun hes just a typical cowboy/ shepherd. wears the hat boots everything. when i finish work at 5:30 he'll be like fancy helping me catch some horses or some cows, so ive spent evenings running around fields. i rode a horse we caught bare back which was an experience. he also took me to a mountain river where we went swimming, all the dogs were to scared as it was pretty cold water. i got the day off last weekend so went hiking up mt sugarloaf, i had to row a boat across the river to get to the bottom. took several hours but i could get singal for my mobile at the top so i phoned home as a treat. the weather has been sooo nice here, boiling hot not a cloud in the sky, it is foggy some days early in the morning though. the farm is about 45mins drive to the nearest settlement so we are pretty much in the middle of nowhere. completely surrounded my mountains, so amazing. Joel has come back from travelling, and arrived on the farm yesterday, he will help out on the farm as a thankyou for letting him stay here. i think id rather have fun driving round in a big truck and chasing sheep than looking after kids but nevermind ive got it pretty easy here so i would never complain. iv got batteries for my camera now so i can take more photos yay! update you all soon lots of love xxxx

p.s. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM xxxxxxx
