I was fiddling around in <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.co.nz\/\" target=\"_top\">Google Maps<\/a>, and there &#8212; lo and behold &#8212; it appears that Google&#8217;s Street View is already available for Ram Paddock Road. It&#8217;s not that long since Street View was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gearthblog.com\/blog\/archives\/2008\/12\/street_view_for_new_zealand_release.html\" target=\"_top\">announced<\/a> over here, and I had assumed it was mainly a thing of the cities and towns, but it appears they&#8217;ve been thorough. You can look over the garden fence and see the pond, admire the big gum, and &#8212; here&#8217;s a surprise &#8212; see nets on the vines. The Google bus must have driven past about a year ago, because we haven&#8217;t got the nets on yet (it&#8217;ll be a couple of weeks, at least). Feel free to be nosey.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, we&#8217;ve been having <a href=\"http:\/\/hot-topic.co.nz\/nice-weather-for-ducks\/\" target=\"_top\">another<\/a> hot La Ni\u00f1a summer. Our unheated pool has been up to 30C, and the air a good deal warmer. Irrigation is being used to the full. The grapes are looking good, the truffi\u00e8re&#8217;s being watered, and once again I bless the decision (made a decade ago) to buy a large fridge that dispenses ice and chilled water out of the freezer door.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, because new gadgets are fun, if you visit OTF from an iPhone, you will be greeted by a special phone-friendly theme, courtesy of the excellent <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bravenewcode.com\/wptouch\/#star\" target=\"_top\">wptouch<\/a> plugin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The guilt part is that the other place has been taking up all my blogging, and OTF has suffered.
