No, seriously, the ducks next door are thrilled to find the back lawn next door has turned into a pond. They are guarding it jealously and wont let the geese in - although I suspect that the geese might sit a bit low in the water. We have had huge amounts of rain, but fortunately it has been draining away well.
We managed to finish pruning - a great effort as we usually dont finish until August! A couple of the pruners had to have time off to go to court (DIC and some sort of disorderly behaviour), but our dutch girl bought in an apple cake to her mum's recipe on the last day, and very good it was too.
Holidays now - popping down to Sileni this week to see if we still have a grape contract, then Dunedin the following week.
It must have been all that water but I have lashed out on a new bathing suit - a miracle suit which will take off 10LB in 10secs. Not so sure about this claim but I love my new suit.
I had 5 new keys at typing this week so went back to 7wpm but 100% accuracy.
There's a song with almost that title, it goes
ReplyDelete"All the ducks are swimming in the water
swimming in the water
swimming in the water" - you probably know the original that it samples. It's by Lemon Jelly.
