It was based until they got it airworthy, it now resides at Doncaster Robin Hood airport.

It`s been a half decent day here in Middlesbrough, the sky was blue and the sun was out earlier

It was that warm I felt the need to put the aircon on at work, until water started to pour from the vents and front, needless to say I gingerly switched it back off in case I tripped the electrics (not a good idea in a taxi office where PCs are needed lol)

Now its cloudy/overcast but still warm out

Horrible weather here. No chance to play with the dish and found that the drain hole in front of the garage is blocked - resulting in a flooded garage.

I want to put my refurbished actuator on it and see how well it does. Also maybe refurbish the 36" one. And it needs some fine tuning as well - I am sure I am not getting the maximum signal, though it's difficult to judge when it's pissing down!

Not the best way to retain the Ashes, so England need a resounding victory in one of the two remaining Matches to eliminate any carping from the Whingeing Aussies.

Absolutely tipped it down between 5 and 6.30 pm in North London. Feels a lot fresher now, so I may get a good nights sleep.

Well, summer's finished, it's officially frickin' cold today, opened the door this morning and wished I put some socks on first cos my toes were instantly cold....:blink:

Also didn't shut my window last night so I woke up feeling ice cold too, so, yep, summer's gone, it's all downhill from here to winter...
