Hey People Reading my blog, hopefully everything is good for all of you home:) I wanted to give u a quick update ASAP. So here it is. The weekend was cool. A lot of people came to the farm to do Smurggle or Knuffle or just to walk and hang out with the animals. Knuffle means they’re doing a walk about 1 hour with the goats. Smurggle means the same, just with alpacas. Of course because I’m officially in quarantine I wasn’t allowed to go with them, working at the Cafe or at the gate:( but I had some stuff to do in the garden, I built a chair and I d k the English word, but in Germany we call it “Dosenwerfen”. Because we’ve got a lot of activities like Ring toss, tic tac toe and now “Dosenwerfen” on the farm. Maybe I will upload some pictures the next few days.
Monday: Nothing happens on the farm. I was stuck in the garden. A lot of things had to be done. Hopefully I’m getting rdy a Tuesday. Monday was THANKSGIVING in Canada, that means nothing was opened, Debbies Family came to the farm until 4 pm. I didn’t do a lot this day. Afterwards, we went on a long walk (about 8 km), took some nice pics. In the evening Sabine cooked for all of us. Thanksgiving means Turkey:) Turkey was delicious, but it wasn’t so much. Further I would have been happy to be with the other in the house while dinner, because getting to know canadian Thanksgiving Culture would have been amazing! But Happy to take part in Thanksgiving of Canada.
I’m looking forward to my last six days in quarantine. Hopefully I can do some cool stuff the next days. And then Sunday last night in the trailer.
Tuesday: Today I started like always with the alpaca shores. After that I went to garden, doing some stuff for Debbie and took at 12 a mid-lunch-Break.
But I don´t want to write all the time the same stuff in my blog like, woke up, breakfast, alpaca chores, some other stuff on the farm, had a nice walk, chilled with the other and went to bed. So because I´m in quarantine and can´t do other things or leaving the farm, I can not tell you something special. For that reason I will skip the boring days and just let u k if something really important happens.
Thursday: The Weather was horrible, so we build a „Dosenwerfen“ like all the German know from the „Kirmes“ – it works quiet good. The Rest of the day wasn´t cool. Because oft he weather I sit in the trailer from 15:00 until bedtime. BORING! Besides, the day would not have gotten any worse. The gas in the trailer was all gone, so I won’t have any heating until I move into the house. Freezing cold at night. I’m lying here with three blankets and full of clothes.
Saturday: Saturday was cool. I was allowed to help Marc (a worker on the farm) to clean the horse paddock from excrement and everything else. Many would say, what is cool about it. Well I was allowed to drive such a fat tractor. On Instagram I uploaded a photo or video of it. In general the activities were great. When the weather was nice I took an online test for a dual study in the evening. Afterwards we had dinner. Special feature: We all ate together in the café because it was Laurel’s (a worker on the farm) birthday. I was allowed to eat at an extra table, isolated from the others, well, not so nice. But only until Monday 🙂
Wednesday, Friday and Sunday were boring as well. Or I cannot tell you something special. Just the basic things. Now it´s Saturday evening, I´m writing on my blog. Finally the next two night will be the last ones in the trailer, then I can get into the house. I´ll have my own room, have to cook once a week. I´m just happy to leave the trailer behind me😊
So this was my second post in Canada. Next week I´ll be able to tell u something more. For example my two days off, one day in Toronto and of course other farm work. Because I am out of quarantine. YES!!!
So see u soon guys. Love you all.
Your Tom
