It's just a tape measure - it don't mean nuffin'.

True! It means absolutely nothing - other than to confirm, perhaps, that today's cloudbase is at more than 67 inches.

Unfortunately I'm still inside working and the shiny new surfboard is still in the garden. Grass-surfing is obviously the sport of the moment.

BUT tomorrow I'm off until after the Mayday holiday. I haven't had any real time off for absolutely ages and I definitely need a break. Cue grey skies and miserable weather. But this board WILL get wet - be ready to read all about it here, sometime, soon, hopefully!!!
