Imminent harvest

The vendange will soon be upon us. The grapes are turning. These ones are on my absent neighbour's loggia and there are dozens of bunches. I have an invitation to help myself so I am keeping a close eye on them. They are smaller this year but may plump up a bit yet. We could do with a bit more hot sun to increase their sweetness. Today involved another trip to Prades this time for Mrs TT to attend a routine cardiology appointment. She is now complaining as she has electrodes stuck to her for 24 hours. I can't fault the health care. All her precautionary scans and tests stem from a slightly unusual hearing loss in one ear that was overlooked and then dismissed in the UK.
