my new job- though not forever!

Well I started my new job today- I am working in the vineyards in a town called Blenheim. the town is a small sad sort of town, though like all places- people can make all the difference! There are some really nice people at my hostel (all of whom work in the vineyards too- seems that that is the only reason you would come here!) I get picked up every morning at 7am- that's right, 7am and then am driven to where ever there is work to be done. Today I spent 8 hours pruning the grapes- a very simple minded task though in some ways, that is why it rocks! I am the only person who speaks English as a first language, so it makes conversation hard! I look at it like this- this gives me a great chance to learn french on my ipod! List of things that are essential for this job: ipod, lots of water, and a large container or 30+ sunscreen- I applied it three times today! Well, I should get back to the hostel- it's only 7pm here, and I am beat!
