    Good day, spoilt by poor conditions at the best time of the day.

    Hawaii + 0.25 O's

    Had to remove a Drey from under one of my panels. 2 Kits and a mass of twigs and rubbish. Second time I have to do this now so I had no mercy. If they had been Reds I would have left them but they was Grey!

    I think a bit of target practice from the bedroom window tomorrow for the parents.
