Another weekend over

How is it already the weekend again? Infact, a better question to ask would be how is this weekend already nearly over?! Time seems to be speeding up over here, probably because life has become quite routine with working every day and chilling out in the evenings. 4 weeks working in the vineyards have now passed and I'm really looking forward to moving on at the end of next week, my poor hands could certainly do with a break from all the vineyard work!

This past week was a pretty slack week for me work wise as Monday was written off due to the rain and on Friday I took a self proclaimed day off...! It was certainly nice having a 3 day week though, especially since it meant that I didn't have to put up with listening to the rubbish my supervisior comes up with. An excerpt of the conversation we had on my second day at work, when he was talking to me about the wine industry in New Zealand went a little something like this (please note, this was after he'd trained me up for an hour or so the day before and knew I was from England and obviously fluent in English) :

Mr Supervisor: "Oh, your English is quite good."
Me: "You'd hope so, I was brought up in England."
Mr Supervisor: " Ah yes, thats right. Did you finish high school then?"
Me: "Erm... Yes... I graduated from uni a few years ago..."
Mr Supervisor: "Ah, no wonder you could understand the words I was using like 'niche'.."

ARGH!!! A lot of what he says is pedantic and patronising and its all I can do to bite my tongue and ignore whatever comes out of his mouth. I just have to keep telling myself that I have just one more week left... then I'm back to being a jobless bum again!

Oh, the bread I baked came out really well, I was most surprised and impressed that I even made a sundried tomato and olive bread yesterday. I don't think its quite my calling in life, but its certainly something I'll be doing on a regular basis from now on.
