I'm afraid I have to agree with Jen there Ken. Anyone you think is getting up after you has probably already been up and just having a nap.

We know the evening isn't far away when you begin to stir!

Mind you, don't wanna be too cheeky - don't want that bikie haunting me in my dreams!

Doug has also been known to be a great help during a spider crisis!

Actually I think between Darren and Doug we can be assured that all spiders within a 100 mile radius will be brought to our attention and then susbequently dealt with by the calmer members of the camp!

You do realise that if I see a spidey, the camp will, indeed, come to evacuation and complete closure?

I am bringing my pillow, binoculars, and as much anti-insect paraphernalia as I can fit in my fiesta

Hi,

would anyone happen to have a ronchi eyepiece or tester to check mirror figure?
I thought it would be great if someone could show me how to do the test at SV.
I tried printing a 100 lpi grating but no joy using it. will bring it along.

The Weather forecast looks to be off to a great start

After months of cloud, starting Friday the clear skies finally return just in time for camp

At this stage Friday night looks ok Ken, but Sat is now shown as cloudy on Weatherzone. Mind you things can change in a flash.

Yep, whereas on Accuweather the forecast is different

The weather will be whatever it will be
You can guarantee that in a couple of days the forecast will be totally different!

Here's Accuweather's forecast, but also remember that our weather is usually different to Ballarat's anyway

There will be sun there will be sky and there will be clear nights (or else there will be plenty of knights with shiny scopes ).

Friday should be ok at least according to weatherzone, thereafter it could be a mixed bag. They have a trough forming on their model charts, if this happens we could get a wet bum and no fish Having said that, their models seem to change by the hour, so it wont be too accurate until at least Wednesday in my opinion.
