Of grapes and wrath of Australis

Yesterday the weather forecast for Jonzac today was warm and light southerly winds, and the forecast for Bordeaux the same. Partly right: it's warm. I was woken by things going crash in the garden as it became rather breezy, and I've just seen Neighbour get blown off his bike. Fortunately he was passing the row of little ex-houses and was only blown against a wall. It is quite amusing to sit here at my desk in the nearly-finished room and watch life in the slow^W lane.

There is green mush all over the front of the car. Passing Sainte Ramée yesterday, I was admiring the grape harvest and drove through a shed load (that's load-which-had-been-shed, not shed-load, but it was quite a heap). So, the Big Blue Yes has been trading grapes.Yesterday the weather forecast for Jonzac today was warm and light winds, and the forecast for Bordeaux the same. Partly right: it's warm.
