Morello Cherries

It has been said that life is like a bowl of cherries, it its not. It is a state of essence or existence characterised by organic metabolic reactions. Whereas a bowl of cherries is a small receptacle containing little red fruits on stalks. If you try to take your own life but instead take a bowl of cherries you will merely be sick in the nearest toilet.

Sky Potato Hail Damage

Its enough to make me fall to my knees and sob like a broken man... well almost. And they'd only just been born! The worst part is that I'd just thinned them back to just the prize specimens as instructed and then they just got belted. If it had happened before thinning I'd have the opportunity to trim out the damaged ones and still have a good crop. What effect having a Mimas sized crater will have on the developing fruit I don't know. Seriously what chance does an apple have against a hail stone that is bigger than it!

Dawn Shots

At least one good thing happened as a result of staying up all night last night and that was these photos. 15 minutes after taking them I was fast asleep.
