Was hoping to have bounced more by now. Still a bit fragile, and perhaps the travel just after racing was ambitious. Fine wine from Central Otago, with Pinot Noir their flagship, is softening the frustration. In need of some of Francois’ love, but he is not keen to fly out for the rub. Alas. Feeling crooked, with some battle wounds to mend. Perhaps the wine can help for that too.
