I exist!
The past two weeks I've been on an outdoor activity centre run by a South African couple, working 5-8 hours per day and getting food and lodging in return. Let me give you a itinerary of my typical day there:
0830: Get up, have breakfast, try to remember to put on sun cream.
0930: Start work: clean the kitchen, sweep the floor, feed the small animals (pigs, dogs, cats, peacocks, parrots and one adorable tortoise).
1100: Go down to tea garden, start boiling water as guests start to arrive, clean pool and do general maintenance.
1330: Have lunch, hopefully be able to sit down more than 10 minutes.
1530: Hope that there are no more guests for the day, sit down in the sun with a book.
1535: More guests arrive for coffees and teas.
1700: All guests are gone, change into swimwear and plunk down next to the swimming pool.
1900: Help Helen or Jenny feed the horses for the night, or start making food, or get ready to go out.
2000: Have dinner, or leave to go to the paella restaurant where we ate five times during my fourteen day stay.
2300/2400: Go to bed.
