What A Glorious Day!

A max temp is expected here of about 25 today. Not a cloud in the sky!

A perfect day to wash the bottles getting ready to bottle the two lots of home brew I have brewing at the moment. Two brews means twice as much bottle washing is required but I have got that down to a fine art nowadays. A little over an hour and 60+ bottles have been washed, rinsed, sterilized and then rinsed again. Currently they are drying out in the backyard!

It is amazing how a bright sunny day can put a spring in your step and make you want to get out and do things.

As we both still have a few signs of our colds we waited till the sun was well and truly up before heading out on a shortish bike ride. Trish hasn't ridden for almost 6 weeks so we are easing back into it gently. Her knees were a bit wobbly when we got home yesterday! Today she was certainly better.

Movie downloading continues. Last night I downloaded the Academy Award winner "The Departed" and tonight I am aiming for "Notes On A Scandal". Trish has put in a request for Robin Williams in "Man Of The Year" so I guess that will be overnight tomorrow!

Our new neighbours will only be there for about 6 weeks. They are originally from Switzerland and are returning home to work for his father. This has been a long time family commitment for them.

When they return to Switzerland, the house will be available for the wife's father to move in and live there permanently. Meanwhile the house on the 'beach' side of us which has been empty on and off for 6 months is being prepared for sale as well. It is always great to know there are neighbours about. It makes everone feel a little easier.
