Woke up - still in pain!! Haven't slept very well so not in the best of moods! Thus worsens when we go to the field for egg plant picking! I'm miles behind everyone has I'm picking one handed! Simone comes back and helps me out! Legend!! Max carries my bucket for me too! Ha ha! Sasha the Russian who talks too much complains all morning and spits and sneezes everywhere! Starting to lose my patience with her!! Yay it's lunchtime and we are off to the shed for packi...

Got up at 7, starting work at 8 which makes a nice change as the sun is up so it's not as cold as usual! Pear picking today so being paid per bin! $13 per bin! Me and Simone manage 9 between us!

Ow ow ow my face is swollen including my eye! Thanks Mosquitos !!! Not impressed! Any way I cheer up pretty quickly as Naomj M had a baby boy during the night! Both doing well! Sent to the field and stayed there all day picking egg plants! Worked 7-3 sore back and legs! Finally get to sit down when Alf decides we can do more if we like so we end up packing egg plants in the shed for another two hours!! Had veg for dinner seeing as we have so much - very tired! F...
