Mine's twelve inches long but I don't use it as a rule.

We've just returned from a wedding near Napier. As we all know, there was a bit of a storm and Wellington bore a bit of the brunt.

Shelley just informed me that there had been 7 inches of rain in the capital. I replied with the title to this post. I don't think she really got it. Thanks to Ray Nuns anyway.*

We decided, rather than trying to drive home, to spend an extra night in Napier. First we visited the Church Road Winery and spent $100 on wine. 


Later that evening, during wine drinking, I did my guitar practice.


We're home now and I'm checking on the blogs. Okay, there is a bit of tidying up to do, but no need to worry because I'm back. The standard of blogging is about to lift again.

Ciao tutti.




* Ray was a wise cracking old guy who worked at Murray Roberts (a wholesale bottle store that I worked at in the 1970s, as did Peter and Robert).

Yes, i know that but I haven't given up playing the violin. Tra il dire e il fare c'è di mezzo il mare.

Did you know that Adolph Hitler gave up painting to become a dictator and invade Poland?

Good on you for buying that Church Road wine.
Did I tell you that I invented that neck tag on the bottle?

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

Well done.

Very nice guitar playing.
Is that due to the influence of Hawkes Bay Chardonnay?

I guess that Marlborough Chardonnay is for ukulele playing.

Thanks. I've done a lot of guitar practice this year.
