the grape farmer

This is my first blog in English and I hope you can understand, what I want. It is for me pretty difficult to speak and write in a other language, but I can say, you need some little steps to improve and learn the English language. I hope you have not enough to smile!

Well, in the last week I work in Mildura, 450 km in the east from Adelaide, as a patch worker on a farm and plant grape plants. It’s pretty hard, because every day the sun is shining, the temperature are 32 degrees and nowhere shade, but the biggest problem are the flys and our thurst.
I want explain the operation: The first guy is Toni, he is the lazy guy in our group. Toni is 59 years old and smile the whole day. When he almost falls asleep, he takes a shoufel and helps us. You can give up his help. The same time he has nothing to do and sit on the tractor and smile. I can’t see this smiling. The next guys are Martin and me. We drill the holes in the ground. Carlos and Mathias plant the grape in our holes. The last but not least, is Herri he fixed the plant with strings. Every day we changed the work, its so boring.

I can say, I have enough to see and we all don’t really like this job. For me it is not more than a good work experience and I am pretty happy that the job is done - poor mates!
