This morning we awoke to a thick fog. Not just the can’t-see-the-neighbors sort, but the much thicker can’t-see-end-of-driveway kind. Driving Tam down to the train station was cool and a bit creepy. If some crazed chainsaw wielding weresheep wanted to attack, that would have been the time. But the drive was (thankfully?) uneventful. Down in Tawa there was no fog, it just disappeared as we cleared the valley mouth.

By 7:30 when I went up to check the animals the fog was starting to burn off, and climbing the hill behind the house got me above fog-level. I looked across to our neighbors place, and there was a Glory! With the low sun directly behind me, I could see my shadow on the hillside about 200m away, surrounded by a circular rainbow. Really cool. Hopefully we will get a similar fog again soon, so I can go up and try to capture that with the digital camera.

Just picked up a loaner BBQ (thanks Sibylle!), so now we are set for tomorrows Two Sisters Cast&Crew party. Should be a hoot! Not sure how many people will be there, but it could be 40. Hope the weather is nice, as having all those people in the house would be… cozy.
