Batlow, Living in an old hospital

很久沒有更新。為求國際化(陳東的說法),有空餘的話會中英雙語寫文章。
It has been quite a while last time I updated this blog. To become more internalized, this blog will be written biligually if I have the leisure to do so.

來了近一個月,正式宣布翌日放假,大約只有兩三次吧。其他放假的時機,都是早上起來,到室外看到下雨,又再回到被窩繼續睡覺。
Arrived here almost a month ago, but only in two or three occasions were we told we would have a day-off the next day. For other times, we just woke up and check the weather by getting outside. If it rains, we continue to sleep.

做果園的工作,真的要望天打卦。現在的工作地點是室外,即便只是下毛毛雨,也不可上班。
Working in an orchard depends very much on the weather. We are not allowed to work even it rains very slightly.

上回提到現在居住的地方,曾是一家醫院。除了晚上只有熱水,以及不是每個房間也有暖風機之外,這裡還算蠻舒服。
Last time I mentioned the place I am living in was a hospital few years ago. The only bad thing is that not all rooms are equipped with a heater, and hot water supply is limited for a few hours at night.

門也懶得換,把Pharmacy字樣隨便塗掉就算了
Too lazy to get the doors changed, and just applied some paint on the word 'Pharmacy'

聽澳洲管工Tony說(看樣子他也有四十幾歲吧),原來是在這家醫院出生。此人真是……(情節其實跟陳東遇上的老外  上集  下集  差不多。)Tony 的故事,等待適當時機再跟各位分享好了。敬請期待。
Australian supervisor, Tony, said he was born in this hospital. Judging by his face, I suppose he is in his 40s. So you can estimate how old this hospital is. He has got an interesting story too… just as the ‘old man’ met by Chan Tung in a Perth backpacker. And I ‘d better wait till an appropriate time, before I share his story here! Stay tuned!
