We just made the supermarket before closing last night and in addition to 18 Kg of onions, we brought lunch. As I checked out it struck me that we had spaghetti, rice, salad and four chickens – my mind spent all night thinking about the dish this combo would make – but to be honest it was excellent and no one really cares after a mornings digging.<\/p>\n

However, we still had to cut onions before leaving. It had been decided that travelling during\u00a0the morning rush hour wasn’t working so we left at 8.30 and breezed out to the field. The dark soils site we were tackling is part of the EMBRAPA field station (the horizon I showed yesterday) so we had all the trimmings of home, with coffee and a lavatory close by!! Also two locals to cut the transecs for us. This meant today went like a well oiled machine….. You just had to watch for the spiky trees. I have to thanks my wife and daughters as they brought me the most magnificent hat that has saved my head from sun, spikes and mosquitoes – thanks guys.<\/p>\n
