I hear tractors nearby, I would guess corn and soybeans are now being harvested.My vistas will soon open up.

No combines?

Eight wines from Spain and Portugal, and eight courses of excellent Iberian food, met some really nice people and had some very grown up japes.We may have also brought five bottles of rather good plonk back with us.

No combines?

Yes, and they all make a bumping sound when they turn, I just associate that with fall. They seem to have quit rather early, so they're probably on first cut.

I went out down the Thames in the dark, and had a puncture at 8pm near a back road that services a quite smart riverside development near Hammersmith Bridge. Fortunately there was a light a couple of feet off the pavement that marked the entrance to a private gateway, so I went to work. A friendly young guy who said he lived nearby asked me if I needed any help as I pumped up the front tyre after a bit of an epic struggle. I thanked him and told him I was just about sorted.
He came back with his track pump five minutes later as I worrying about a trapped tube, and wished me a good evening.

I'm going out for lunch...

And I'm going to an orchid show. My husband owes me one after killing one whilst I was in hospital.

I visited a friend that I gave an Orchid to a number of years ago yesterday, and she showed me that it's currently got two flower stems, looking very nice (mine that I bought at the same time has long since died from neglect!)

's out here too: spring has finally sprung (took bloody long enough).

Last weekend, I finally sorted out which of the photos from my recent European Alps and Pyrenees trip I'd use as desktop backgrounds, and now my Linux PC (with 2 monitors side-by-side) is showing various photos from this year's Alps trip and the similar trip from last year, about 1000 photos. I'll never get tired of looking at them.

Spring is definitely here: the temperature has just reached about 30° at a bit after 3pm.

I just lost power at home for about half a minute. The wind is picking up outside, and Melbourne's temperature just dropped from 29 to 19 in only 30 minutes. Since I'm east of Melbourne, that means the cool change will arrive here in about 30 to 45 minutes or so. So the spring weather is unpredictable, but then Melbourne weather in general is like that.

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

We had 31C in Canberra about an hour ago, fire risk is very high and we've recorded the driest winter on record where I live. There's a definite thunder cloud on the horizon, now advancing rapidly and blocking out the sun. I expect it will have run out of rain by the time it arrives though! (mostly because we need it very badly...)

 

[Shut Up Legs]

The cool change got to where I live: the temperature dropped 7.3° in 10 minutes!
[edit] Make that 13° in 1 hour. Now that's a cool change!

I'm hopeful. It's still 27C at the moment. Then back to 2C by Tuesday morning...

I'm off to check the rain radar...

Blue skies and warm sunshine here again on the beach. I'm remaining upstairs whilst the decorator slaps on the second cost in the larder and then cooks breakfast. Once I hear cooking being commenced I will arise.

I had a really shoot nights sleep again !!!!!
