Giant raspberries and we want broadband

It took so long to get this page downloaded I just about fell asleep waiting for the bloody thing to become available. I'm hearing a lot on radio 4 about people in rural communities in UK who are truly hampered by slow speed of internet due to not having broadband. We have the same problem and it is a real pain. We keep hearing it will 'be here soon' but like some mythological creature it never seems to materialise.

It has been horribly dull and cool here with everyone grumbling about the lack of summer warmth and hence the slow production in the vegie patch. The constant rain has done wonders for the growth but for ripening we need a lot more sun and heat. However, today we ate the most wonderful batch of freshly picked raspberries which were pretty enormous and very tasty and I also cooked up some rhubarb to put in the freezer for another time so things are slowly getting there.

The Aussies are doing well at cricket.
