3.j – Yann as WWOOFER…

Monday 4th Feb., Yann joined us for our last day of WWOOFing at Ohama farm.  Unfortunately for all of us it was to be a very wet day.

First some outdoor work, preparing soil for future planting. Tomo a new WWOOFer is also at work.

Tomo and Kaori spreading rich compost on soil.
While the rest of us were filling bags of rice husk/hull, ….
Which was also spread over the future vegetable garden.
We started some seeding of vegetables and transplanting… all by hand and in large quantities… it is a lot of manual work, we wonder how they would manage without WWOOFers!!
Yann got to taste the great lunch prepared by Kazushige and others… today: karerisu (curry rice)
the only downside is the hard time for us to get used to eating sitting so low.

After lunch the weather turned to light rain or scattered showers… Miki and Kazushige had to re-think what work to give us.

After we had changed between 3 or 4 activities, even Kazushige was kind of giving up on the day…

With Yann we were looking for some sort of occupation/ entertainment… we figured modern art exhibition was the best we could do with what was around us …

This is ….
Hmmm, we should be able to do something here!?!

.. and then it was the end of the working day ~4pm… and diner round 6pm.

… Yann commented: “Did we even work enough to earn such meals…???

Which is true, today we did not do much and Kazushige did not force anything unpleasant on us, although he could well have done so… the rain is warm and although it was pouring there could still have been lots to do.
