24/08/07 Started picking almonds

Could have started these a week ago but left it till now for various reasons. The weather has really cooled down at the moment which makes it much more pleasant work.
The yield is not as good as the previous two years though better than 3 years ago when there virtually no almonds after having had some hard frosts.
