    So, the forecast for today was rain all day ...... so I took advantage of the dry and the sun, to paint some more of the walls. Have now decided that 'Oatmeal' is actually 'yellow', so will have to start again with something a little less ..... dayglow!

    Still, I finally got an Augusty day, of sorts, with 3.29 Os. My month end prediction is now 92%. Not looking good for an eighth straight plus month. Oh well, it was fun whilst it lasted.
