From 7am till 7pm work in the woods; then, for the whole night, we loaded hay on a pauzok * and the next day worked in the woods again... All of that to to go and see friends on Sunday, making a round trip of 108km.  Night hither, night thither. And on Monday, to the work in the woods again. And being constantly hungry. A wild youth!
