Yesterday was a great day for so many reasons, not the least of that is was Michal's 49th birthday and he has got one more year until he gets to maybe half or a third of his live which ever comes first.

Helen made a great Cheese Fondue, Patricia did her magic dried tomato pesto and I mad the cake for the birthday kid.

We also finished and bottled our last wine for 2008. Now we just have to drink it, there are 75 or so bottles, this should keep us going for a while.

All I can say to us is have a HAPPY NEW YEAR and the same to all of yous.
