The start of my career as a plonky
On my way to work at 6am. Unfortunately the photo does not do the scene any justice. Seeing the sun rise every morning is spectacular. Often it is misty in the morning which gives the whole scence an erie feeling.
2am waiting for 100 tonnes of riverland Chardonnay to arrive. The tanks in the background are like cement mixers. They are about 3 times my height.
The grapes finally arrive at 3.30am. Lots of standing around, but hey I get paid for it.
The Chardonnay starts its short trip to the crusher and then to the press to extract as much juice as possible.
All the stalks and other bits of junk, old bicycles, washing machines, stray dogs, baby hippos that arrive with the grapes are sent off on the conveyor belt to be turned into High definition television sets.

nice one mate...looks a little more relaxed than Blassies but at least i escaped nite shift....
every time i check your blog, i am greated by the word 'plonky'. and i dont know why, but every time i giggle
Dammit Lachy - BLOG. BLOG anything. You mist remove the word 'plonky' from the top of this page. THe giggling must stop!!
xxh
In Lachy's defence:
He has had no internet down at Goolwa.
His only waking hours are spent being a plonky.
He has fitful sleeps in a room full of mozzies.
Therefore he finds it extremely hard to blog.
I can't wait till his bludging away at uni and blogging at a storm....
Although then he won't be living down the road....
And that is so comforting...
Actually I take all that back...
We'd rather sacrifice the blog for the Lachy action we get in Goolwa.
