blogger was cranky yesterday. couldnt load properly. couldnt view. simply terrible. but i didnt do much yesterday actually. so no harm done.
only 1.5 weeks left in my hols and its just so short! ohwells i just have to make do. today(wed), i resumed the job search in uni. saw an advert for a labourer, half days work in digging/widening a hole for an in-ground trampoline. the lady asked if i was a strong lad. eh.. wad was i to say? lol. so i just told her i hope so. and basically offered to go down to her place first. didnt even have time for lunch (but i had late brekkie). so down to south perth i went. reached there at ard 12 and started work immediately. it was hard work and tho it drizzled occasionally the weather was kind to me. nothing that required me to stop digging. there was already a hole in the ground but its just that the soil had fallen in and the grass was overgrown in it. some might say its easy. wells. what i can say is that its not as easy as it seems. grass has pretty deep roots and when they are well rooted getting them out is no joke. even with a rake and all the soil was firmly held together by the roots. bah! so once the grassy cover came off and into the bin/pile, sand had to be removed. this wasnt easy. esp when the wheel on the wheelbarrow was flat. it just wouldnt move. so instead of piling it with ten or more shovels per load. i had to make do with ard 6. :( ohwells. the owner wanted it urgently cos her grand-nephew was comin from england the same afternoon. so i carried on while Anthea went to the airport. no lunch for me except for the kelloggs k-time muffin bar she offered me. nice. but not nearly enuff. :P i planned to finish setting up the trampoline before she returned but only managed the digging part in the end. by then it was already after 5 and it was raining. so they came back and there i was still doing it. no surprise for the lil boy. sigh. anyways i hurried to finish it up and i felt good. why? cos i did something today. cos i had a workout. cos i managed to earn some money. cos i was able to help someone. cos someone appreciated my efforts. anyways.. the result? another $90 for the fund(to cover recent purchase of 'luxury' goods) and a possiblilty of another few hours work for Anthea. =)
tired n hungry. but the hungry part was solved very easily with a sinful dinner of luncheon meat pasta! lol.. with olives, lots of onions and oregano. and a glass of reisling. *yum*
now: just finished playing star control 3 which i downloaded before i went to work. its not that nice but its a way to 'reward' myself. i should go sleep now.
oh ya. work tomorrow is cancelled. :( Sonya, another lady, called to say that the ppl installing the spa would also be preparing the hole for it. sigh. no work. no money. no chance to see french girl. boooooooo! but wells, it allows me to go send jerome off. which is good. :)
eh... i must be realli tired. *dreams of.....my package*
