I've got a Job!!!!

Having spent months delibirating over whether to get a summer job, I've managed to get one without even trying!!!!!
My mum when on a school trip to a farm to do some river work, near her school. While on the trip she was using a flow meter - in the correct way! the guy leading the trip asked how she knew so much about the flow meter. She replied that during my years at school I had done many field trips and even done coursework using this very piece of equipment! and BANG he asked if I wanted a job!!!! YEPPEEE YES please!!!!!
I've now spent the last two days shadowing school groups, trying to learn as much about the farm, pond and river as I can (actually not done anything on the river - manybe tommorrow!) I can now tell you that they have 700 ewes, 1100 lambs, 17 rams, 50 cows, 2 bulls. That organic lamb can be sold for £60, sheep wool at £2.50 (it cost more to shear the sheep!!!)
Although I don't have to go tommorrow, I think I will, then I'll know how to round up sheep!!! What a Life!!!!!!
