    A lovely day on the Downs, though chilly later when the wind picked up.
    5.5 Os today, making today the fifth Hawaii of the month.
    ...and a very good month it's been, too, with an average of 3.5 Os per day so far in March! Good luck to all! (Though I suppose the clouds have to go somewhere, if they don't come here...)
