    Wooden spoon again then. 1.08 Os today. I think there should be a special adjustment for those of us who are directionally challenged, badly inclined or just downright shady.

    Corrected from last nights entry. I had taken the wrong start figure. Had been a bit surprised at how low it was relative to Merlin. 82% is about the norm.

    Amazing how much variety there is with our generation, a poor day here as well, but 2.4 O's.
    I just wonder where the sunniest place is in the uk? Perhaps we should all move there, or then again, perhaps not!
    Maybe over the course of twelve months it all evens out with not much variation between us!

    Early finish tonight. 2.3 Os. 45% for the month (I think, if I used the right calcs) but did lose what might have been one of my best days due to technical issues.

    3.02 O's today, good start and finish with a variable middle of the day.


    Apparently Eastbourne is one of the sunniest spots in the uk with 10% more sunshine hours than ourselves here. Mind you that's over a thirty year average, so perhaps it's someone elses turn to nudge ahead now!:)
