Double O

The Natural world has been a bit cruel lately, I took this glorious shot of that huge moon, and this is how it came out! What sort of trick is that? Perhaps I should have photoshopped it!We have had two days of torrential rain, and the ditches are full to overflowing. WE still have the majority of the grapes on. They will be harvested this Friday and we are not holding out much hope of getting it in with the condition holding. What we'd like are cold winds to dry things up without encouraging botrytis. It hasn't been much fun for Warren loosening the nets today. Duncan will spend most of his birthday taking the nets off tomorrow, then I will do a full day on Thursday.

Moons and floods. They have double 00 in common. Oh goodness I am looking forward to a holiday!!

What's important

With all the disasters in the world lately it has reminded me to focus on what's important in life - friends and family. Rather belatedly, here are my Weetbix triathlon pics of Millie and Alex.
Out of the pool and Alex makes a fast sprint to his bike.
Off on the bike and then the run - and finally, the finish line!

"I won this medal"

Millie as a seasoned campaigner in this event reflects on her efforts.

And its all worth it to get a chocolate bar from your Mum. Its not often she hands out the chocolate!

Well done kids, and a frantic morning for the supporters!
