Had a fog here on the Scarp this morning everything is wet. The sun burnt it off pretty quickly and the humidity has now set in.
Going by the cows/calves siesta time was around 8.30. Good guides when it the warmth sets in.

LOVE Durif wine. Discovered it about 20 years ago and have kept an eye out for it since. Aldi sell a very good Durif red.
Enjoy.

Why go out for a bacon roll when you can enjoy a whole sweet little piglet on your lap ?

I reckon this could be a goer. Very sweet story. The animals are toilet trained and happy little vegemites.

Micro pigs take prominence over coffee at this Japanese cafe

There are cat cafes, where lattes take second place to the animals, and now in Japan, customers can cuddle up with pigs while having a cuppa.

Have bought the Blue label durif from Aldi on a few occasions, but it goes very quickly.
Seems more and more people are cottoning on to it.
Warrabilla Wines just outside of Rutherglen has my all time favourite, followed closely by Campbells.

When I did drink, Durif from Morris was top notch. If I remember correctly, they were the only wine makers who produced it back then (50 years ago.) The also made an absolutely superb Liqueur Muscat.

I get I very good quality clean skin red of unknown varieties from my orchardist mate. I suppose when it's a "give-me" then it has that million dollar taste about it. picked up 4 bottles each of red and white this afternoon.
