@Denny Fairchild Ha ha. Happily that's a perfect description of the day I'm having while the wind howls and the rain pours outside. Hope you're having a wiggly-giggly day too, Denny. The rain is a welcome confirmation that our flood prevention efforts here have been successful. Poor land management up the hill but a few very muddy visits with a friend and his chainsaw and a couple of shovels mean the water's now flowing along the stream bed again rather than down the hill and into the houses at the bottom. Phew!

@Denny Fairchild Hi, Denny. That's a little frustrating about the book. I hope you do enjoy it when it does arrive. To be discussed... I didn't know about Yu but it made me laugh. I'm definitely not great in any sense! And there's certainly no conquering water. A bit of persuasion is the only way. What was nice was how quite a few folk rallied round. One guy even appeared on his tractor but couldn't get it up the hill. Anyway, next time we're up there, I'll share the story of Yu.

@Angela Churchill Happy Birthdays all round.

Meraviglioso indeed! I saved this one for an early evening wind down and the silence was perfect. So calming. Just the occasional prehistoric screeching from the herons nesting outside. And I loved the bells, the bells. See you all tomorrow.

Well that was hard. My back struggled. Would love to do more of this though. Always good to work on weaknesses. Just don't do it out in the snow and rain, Drew. Have a good weekend everyone.

Great as always. Happy Friday everyone.

@Marie-Thérèse Gloor Thanks, Marie-Thérèse. It'll be another nice day with my son, though he'll be way ahead of me. I'm holding on for the celebrations afterwards!

@Frances Anne Woo hoo 🏃.
