Almost.

A long time ago I almost had a terrible fall off this rock face. It was in 1978 and we had just bought this farm and I was riding my horse around the farm to help muster the vendor's stock. As my horse walked up the narrow green strip above the rock she stumbled...then we tettered on the edge for a moment.... then she regained balance and all was well....but it almost wasn't.

Tonight [our time] it almost the final of the rugby World Cup and all of us in our little country are hopeful of a win.

And this blip means I have almost done 500.

Now it is almost time for bed before the big game.
