With the season in full swing now, I’m getting used to the 05:30 hrs starts, 17:30 hrs finishing at Loadout. Loadout is where all the pallets are loaded into containers or trucks and its not umusual to do 700 odd pallets in a day. Jude is Working Packhouse and with 07:30 hrs starts working through to 17:30 hrs… thats a big day packing fruit so she is working pretty hard-out… It’s easy to see when she crashes to bed about 7:30…. well we both do actually. I’m fortunate that I am working with an amazing team who are hard working, really supportive serious about what they do and don’t take shit from anyone. Our manager (Ollie) and Supervisor (Animei) are characters in themselves, but caring for their team. I have become very good friends with Moin, a very talented young man that has been guiding me through the role I have in Loadout… Animei is Animei, hard as nails, straight forward yet has a soft center lol.
The mornings are getting cooler however still reasonably warmer than dear Southland. This morning as per most mornings present a beautiful sunrise so while working across at the Gully this morning snapped a couple of shots.
