News Flash!!!

I guess i'm not keeping up too well with the blog.
about a week ago we got a couple of cars....real sweet ones too. i got a 1985 toyota corona...yes corona!!! its amazing!, well actually its a P.O.S. but it gets us around. still getting used to driving on the wrong side of the road but its becoming more and more natural. its always weird taking a turn and staying to the left and theres weird yielding rules that i don't quite get and don't get me started on round-abouts... i'm surprised i haven't hit or been hit in one yet, why can't they just use intersections! the other car we got is a 198? hyundai accent...that we are finding out is in worse shape than we hoped. got both for $800 NZ a piece which is great. just hope they both last us the harvest. we had to get 2 because we do a swing shift here so some people come in the AM and others, like myself, come for the PM shift. 12 hour shifts, 7 to 7 and 1 to 1....for the most part, i guess there will be a couple times when we will be operating 24 hrs....don't know how thats going to work, but i'm not excited for that.
we also moved into a place 2 nights ago, near work in waikari, remember the beginning of the two towers where aragorn, gimli and legolas are running along the hill sides after the ork things that took pippin and merry, thats my drive to work....its a 4 bed 1 bath (if you want to call it that) house....and it came with a brazilian girl!!! and we already managed to piss her off... she put in a load of laundry last night and went to bed, when mike got home he wanted to do some laundry too, so he took out her clothes and laid them out nicely in the living room (no dryer)....but that was not ok with her... actually none of us are sure what her problem is, she doesn't know much english and none of us know portuguese so we were all puzzled, even andrea (whos 1st language is spanish) couldn't help. and i got home in the middle of it so i was just standing there...about to laugh because i haven't even met her yet and she was already angry with us. oh the drama!!!!
well things are going well other than that, very busy and no end in sight!!! have about 10 tanks and 5 bins full of must and juice...about 50000 liters pinot noir and 34000 L sauvignon blanc....and only one bin of PN is fermenting....so lots to do real soon but very exciting.
miss ya'll and keep the comments coming!!!!
