Rain rain go away

We walked a good 27 kilometres yesterday And found ourselves with the dilemma of choosing to remain in a vineyard or to continue across a river into unknown territory where we might not find a place to camp. We opted for the vineyard and cooked up pasta for tea.
I decided that rather than put my tent up I would sleep outside in my waterproof bag thinking all the time that it had been fine and there would be no rain. well, i was wrong about that.
There was a thunderstorm during the night and a torrential downpour. Amazingly though i remind relatively dry and the worst of the damp came from the condensation of my breath on the inside of the bag.
Jeremy, who had broken his tent the night before, managed to fix it using the repair kit for my own tent I haven't seen him yet this morning but i assume that he is ok.
And so, i'm lying here in a wet vineyard watching the sun come up over the vines Doing my morning meditation and thinking just this moment. Just this moment. Just this moment.
