I don't know where it's gone but I'm sure I had one - way back in the dim dark days of yore but I'm stuffed if I can remember what I did with it.

I got a SBS bar which I can't use in the dome, I keep getting images of the inside of the dome when I use it. I'll bring it.

Count me in too please for Sat. Sunday family commitments made it look unlikely for a while, but I'm just going to have to wake up at a decent hour Sun morning for once......

We have some cows here that can accelerate your rising quite easily. A sort of bovine alarm clock of the wet and warm variety.

Weather

Been watching the weather - Saturday predictions are a worry.
Friday looks better at the moment.
Fortunately the bloody smoke haze has largely cleared (but been replaced by some cloud coming in from SW).

Well, if the sky gives me the opportunity I'll be out there. You're welcome to take a chance.

Some smoke in the air, but no clouds. I won't know how it went until I take a closer look at these subs

I'm probably out Peter. Weather looks too risky. Will message again if I resort to heroics though which I'm susceptible too

Thanks, Rob. Just having a quick play with the data and it looks promising.

Good luck, guys! I'm tempted to drive up again but I think it might make me a little unpopular on the domestic scene

I'm definitely up for another night next weekend if the weather gods are kind.
