Lift Off (Still Not Quite)

As predicted in the last entry, the weather has proved to be the winner on the day, just dropping from the sky at very regular intervals. It was looking ominous on the drive down yesterday and set in just after coming through Eketahuna (find that one on the map). So this morning's Mass Ascension became a Mass Depression - not really, because balloonists take the weather in their stride, it's all part of the sport. The forecast is for clearing, so meanwhile it is an opportunity to enjoy the delights of Masterton on a rainy afternoon. Hmmm. I think a movie may be on the cards.
