In October 1977 Gijsbertus Adrianus Panhuise (Netherlands) received the first patent for KiteSurfing. The patent covers, specifically, a water sport using a floating board of a surf board type where a pilot standing up on it is pulled by a wind catching device of a parachute type tied to his harness on a trapeze type belt. Although this patent did not result in any commercial interest, Gijsbertus Adrianus Panhuise could be considered as the originator of KiteSurfing.

It's funny I'm uploading this one of the two I took of the balloons heating up to lift off. Every time I though of one pic over the other I keep switching on which one to put up, so I guess I'm just going to stick both up and let them duke it out in the views/favs. Let the battle begin.

Stu brought this Basil home today. He was jamming with some friends and one fellow who he was playing with is an Entomologist (he's a bug expert) who gave Stu this basil. The basil was grown at Cornell University. They were doing experiments on using different forms of light to see how plants react to it. I used the Basil to make some Walnut Pesto.

It's over - the summer visitors collect on the telegraph wires in the dawn light, and prepare for their long journey to southern Africa. The barn swallows are a regular feature under the eaves of our house - and countless other nesting sites in the farms and houses around here. A marker of the change of the seasons, as regular as harvesting.
Happy Telegraph Tuesday 😊
Pilze schnibbeln in der Sonne. Zur Zeit muss man die wenigen Stunden, in denen die Sonne unsere Terrasse trifft, einfach genießen!
And it might come by next week! Actually the planning for this came in late May when it looked like there might not be much grass for the cattle. Thus farmer planted more widely. The rains came a just the right time and a fairly significant crop was taken off this field.
Let the show begin. Alice in Wonderland this summer's show for the New York Botanical Garden opens Saturday. It looks like it’s going to be a very good show.

I love watching gulls, they can be so very entertaining :-) I didn't even need to give them chips hahaha.
I arrived home safe and sound yesterday evening. I miss dad already, i had such a great time seeing him and also going down to Victoria to see grandpa and his partner was great too. The only thing that wasn't great, the complete opposite of great actually was of course... the bush fires.
Mum is very pleased i am home, nothing compared to the cat though. He's super happy i am back!
