By hanging and strangling…

"Skinidin bay" at sunriseThat’s the literal translation of a Dutch saying when a goal is achieved with very small margins. This was certainly true for the Scottish rugby team when they entered the quarter finals of the World Cup today through a victory over Italy with 18 - 16. Disappointment was great at the Italian side… of course. An all time greatest was the match between Fiji and Wales. This was rugby at its best! What a great match. Suspense from start to finish with the Fijians victorious at end.

So far for rugby. It would almost make you forget the wonderful weather we have the past days. It’s like an after-summer and long may it last! We’re making good progress with the garden project. If the good weather holds the work should be ready by the end of this week.

This morning I could not resist taking a picture of our own private bay. When the moon is full, this part fills up with water during high tide and this morning the early sunlight was making it a great picture. I had to experiment a bit with the shutter time to capture the light just right. I think it worked out ok. Notice the reflection in the water due to the complete lack of wind…
