What to write, when there's nothing to write about?

Truth be told, there's not much exciting going on around here this week, but I keep thinking to myself, I've got to think of a post for the blog.  I could write about digging out the drive way and preparing it in order to pour cement. That's not very exciting or romantic, but we're trying to get it done before harvest.  I could tell you about the wonderful dinner we had with good friends at a new restaurant not far from Uzès.  That was fun. It's called "le tracteur" (the tractor).  They have a well chosen wine list and a very reasonable menu that changes nightly.  I wanted to write about that today, but I forgot to bring my camera so I don't have a picture, and I like to post pictures.  There's also the delicious bottle of  1999 Hermitage Blanc "Le Rouet Blanc" from Jean-Luc Colombo that we drank the other night.  It was such an amazing bottle of wine, but I'm not really a wine reviewer, and I think it's kind of boring to read about someone absolutely "loving" a bottle of wine that is no longer available on the market. It's almost like bragging.  This week I am catching up, organizing things, getting ready for harvest, which is only a few weeks away and taking a bit of a breather since the last few weeks have been so crazy.   A few friends have stopped by to purchase wine, both red and rosé. That is a nice feeling, always flattering.  Otherwise, my life this week, is probably a lot like everyone else's... There are some exciting things coming up though, I'll be sure to tell you all about them!

Do you have an ETA for harvest yet, or will you just wing it, testing Brix often and determine harvest solely on that?
