All Work and No Play...

Det er vist et stykke tid siden at jeg har skrevet noget her. Og med god grund (synes jeg selv). Dels er der ikke sket noget nyt og spændende, dels så har vi haft travlt. Siden det regnede har vi sået, sået og sået (Alene i dag har jeg sået ca. 80 hektar, og det har været cirka det samme de andre dage). Mandag var den eneste dag hvor jeg var færdig før kl. 20, de andre blev klokken 21 eller 22. Ud over det arbejdede vi også lørdag og søndag, og de fleste af dagene har vi også været oppe med solen, omkring kl. 6. Noget af en forandring, i forhold til at arbejde i det offentlige.
Mine dage er gået med at køre traktoren med såmaskinen, hvilket jeg i øvrigt har fået helt godt styr på. Jeg har typisk kørt fra vi er gået i gang, til hen på aftenen, hvorefter Bruce har taget over, og kørt til omkring midnat. Imens er jeg er kørt hjem for at fylde lastbilen op med gødning, og siden i går, byg. Ja, vi er færdige med at så raps, sår byg nu, og skal så hvede når vi er færdige med byggen. Ud over det har Bruce i dag annonceret at vi fra i morgen kører alle døgnets 24 timer. Det kommer til at foregå ved at en starter om morgenen, en tager over hen på eftermiddagen, og en tager over igen om natten. Hvor slemt det end lyder, så gør det mig faktisk ikke noget. Jeg har fundet en radiostation der spiller hits fra 70erne og frem, med fokus på rock 'n' roll. Her til aften havde de f.eks. godt 2 timer med "Big Hair Bands"; jeg har glad rocket ud til f.eks. Van Halen, Twisted Sister, Thin Lizzy, Quiet riot, Metallica, Alice Cooper , AC/DC, Europe, Def Leppard og Scorpions. Så går tiden lidt hurtigere.
Som sagt får endnu travlere end vi allerede har, så hvis der bliver længere mellem opslagene her er det fordi jeg sår, sover og spiser, og ikke meget andet. I øvrigt sker der nok ikke noget videre spændende.

Opsummering for dovne/travle læsere: Jeg har sået, og ikke meget andet. Jeg har arbejdet hele weekenden.

English for the Danish impared:

It has been a while since I last wrote something here. And with good reason (at least i think so myself). Both because nothing new and exciting has happened, but also because we have been busy. Since it rained we have been seeding, seeding and seeding (today alone I have seeded about 80 hectares, and it has been circa the same the other days). Monday was the only day where I was done before 8 PM, the other days it was past 9 or 10 PM. On top of that, we worked Saturday and Sunday as well, and most days we have been up with the sun at around 6 AM. A bit of a change, compared to being employed by the government back in Denmark.
My days have gone with driving the tractor with the seed bar, which I by the was have become pretty decent a. I have typically been going from the morning to sometime in the evening, whereafter Bruce has taken over until around midnight. Meanwhile I have driven the truck home to fill it up with fertilizer, and since yesterday, barley. Yes, we are done seeding the canola and are seeding barley now. As if all of this was not enough, Bruce has announced that from tomorrow we will be driving around the clock. The way it is supposed to go is, one will start in the tractor in the morning, another will take over sometime in the afternoon, and finally one will drive from midnight until morning. However, as bad as it may sound, it does not really matter to me. I have found a radio station that plays hits from the seventies to the present, with focus on rock 'n' roll. This evening, they had about two hours with "Big Hair Bands"; I found myself rocking out to Van Halen, Twisted Sister, Thin Lizzy, Quiet Riot, Metallica, Alice Cooper, AC/DC, Europe, Def Leppard and Scorpions. Time moves a bit faster, then.
As I said, we will be even more busy than we are already, so if it gets longer and longer between posts, it is because I am seeding, eating and sleeping, and not much else. Not that I expect something interesting to happen either.

Summary for lazy/busy readers: I have been seeding, and not much else. I have worked all weekend.
