Day 8.

できた!

My first full wwoofing working day is over. I have to say: impressions are mixed and really controversial. I probably wouldn't like to come back to this place, but somehow it is nice at the end of the day. I didn't sleep too well though and it affects me, because i value good quality sleep a lot.

The working itself is a little bit stressful because of the host's character. She's always requesting something, but never explaining anything, so you do it the way you think would be good, but mostly it's bad. You cannot basically know how to do something, because you're not in your own house, so you just try. Also, the way she talks and says things, is really unpleasant. Don't know if it's because she's not english native speaker, or because she's just that kinda type. Throughout the day you always make something wrong and she points it out really badly, so you have this feeling that you cannot do anything proper. Or when something's not the way she wants, she has to find the one who's guilty! Like: "Who touched this?" or "Who did that?".

Leaving those features of hers, today was kinda ok. Except one task: we had to do gardening while it was raining!!! So it's pretty wicked... But in the morning we took the dog for a walk, then started baking bread, but there was no flour, so we just waited for a while, almost until
the break. We did some cleaning in the house, but wasn't too much. Then we prepared lunch, went back, did gardening in the rain, which was just dreadful like i've already mentioned, but then it started getting better... We went for shopping and prepared dinner for the rest of the evening. We made some salad and lithuanian potato pancakes, so it brought memories for me!

The dinner itself was also really nice. We had some nice conversations, but i would like to spend more time with other wwoofers actually. They live in different house, eat breakfast there as well and straight after dinner go back to their place, so it's difficult. They're leaving on sunday, so i have to catch them before and definitely get to know them better. It would be nice if we had some time for that.

I cannot say i hate this place, but it really isn't my dream place. It also might be influence by other wwoofers, because they tell me all that nasty stuff and when something like that happens i notice it better. But it is true, it has a long list of negative features. I like cooking though, so the second half of the day kinda fixed all things. I don't have much to write about today, even though many things happen. Probably i have to digest them a little bit more... Also, it was raining almost all the day, so i feel a little bit tuned. The whole day was so slow. I'm wishing for better weather for the coming days, so i can make lots of pictures and - really important - get tanned on weekend. My sunburn by the way is already better. The redness is fading out a little bit, but it still hurts pretty much.

This evening i didn't stay for long to play with Mahiro (one of the children) and chat with hosts, because we're going to watch a movie with Katharina (my roommate). It's a pretty freaky movie called Human Centipede and it's about some crazy german scientist who's doing experiments on people. You can watch the trailer here. Wish us fun!



Yours.
