    1.8 Os for me.

    The weather here's been pretty sunny and dry, apart from a 2min spell of wild hail.

    Unfortunately that 2 min started when I opened the car door at the tip, and finished when I got back in after depositing all the wind smashed fence panels from a couple of months back.

    Twas at this point that I realised I hadn't put the window back up (we have to show ID at our tip), and drove home on a seat of hail. :snow_laug
