The gardener leaves before lunch on Saturdays so Friday night would be great.the best way to carry eggs on a short trip is in an egg carton thats in a carton with crushed newspaper supporting it.

Eggs dont travel well - one of the reasons I refuse to sell hatching eggs but I understand the risks and thats why i am after 30+ eggs - so I will be happy with just a doz hatching.

The ducks have no commercial value to me in resale. I actually need products to offer my staff to discourage eating my valuable birds and their eggs, I have muscovies but a mallard derivative will increase a steady supply of both eggs and meat.

OK I will deliver the eggs on friday, good thing the place is easy to remember and Its a good 15-20 minutes ride from where I am staying now.

On my day off this wednesday, I will prepare for the egg carton.

Lillian: Ariel wet the composed and mix but he did not add the leave coz her is a sneak.

Me: A sneak? That is very bad. Did you instruct him to add leaves?

Lillian: Yes but he said her is a sneak.

Blood is boiling but it was not adding up. Mrs Oz asks same question and translates the response:

There was a snake. Per Lilian the leaves are in the compost pile but not mixed yet. She didn't ask how big the snake was. Ariel was nervous when he told Lilian of the snake that he touched and felt.

After a written warning last week, I almost fired Ariel today:

Me:
Please confirm if this was completed by Ariel. It was not reported

For Ariel.

Transfer all current organic material – manure, labhang, sawdust and leaves from all compost bays to compost bay 3. Thoroughly wet the new pile in compost bay 3. Do not add any more new organic material after combining all compost bays

Please complete this by Saturday afternoon.

Report when complete

New organic material - manure, labhang, sawdust and leaves – should go into compost bay 1

Lillian: Ariel wet the composed and mix but he did not add the leave coz her is a sneak.

Me: A sneak? That is very bad. Did you instruct him to add leaves?

Lillian: Yes but he said her is a sneak.

I would think of a pitch fork 1st, when moving compost stuff, maybe a shovel 2nd, bare hands are dead last on the list!
I know you have tools for your workers to use, why don't they use the proper tools for the job?

the same reason they dont use the harness when they climb coconut trees.

it takes lots of coaching.

its the first snake on the property since we arrived = well atleast that I have been told about.

The Philippines is home some of the deadliest snakes in the world, including the much feared Philippine Cobra, the most toxic of all cobra species, ranked as the world’s third most venomous snake.

There are about 100 species of snake. Thirty are venemous.

we will use this as a coaching tool lol
