Daily Diary

Dear Diary,
Today was our third day being W.W.O.O.F.ers (willing workers on organic farms). Recently we have shoveled Chicken Shit (otherwise known as poo), Swept Cement dust, and de-caged the "free range chickens". We were both a little confused to see that the chickens had been fed compost that had chicken breast and eggs in it. Andy continues to build furniture out of Remu, an extinct hardwood species, worth it's weight in Gold, He is paid the equivalent of a staggering $7/hour Kiwi. As you can see we are learning tons about organic farming. Despite our dire work situation and lack of funding to extend our quiver, our WOOF mates are great company. We now have a cook/union delegate, prior to this we had been working two hours a day each for our food, one day we were given a loaf of bread, 4 eggs, a block of cheese and a few tomatoes, there were ten of us.
So we have survived thus far on Waikato Dark Lager, And Tui India Pale Ale, this along with Tim Tams, and some good Laughs. We can't wait to put some pictures on our blog of Allison up to her elbows in chicken s*#t and our new friends. We miss everyone at home but are enjoying every strange, but interesting day we have here.
