NOTES:
------
(1) After a spell of inactivity when I considered moving to a
     retirement village and had a MASSIVE clean-out , throwing away
     about 80% of everything I had collected over the past 60 odd
     years, my wife and I decided to "stay-put" for the present
     until circumstances forced us to make a move. My wife has
     alzheimers but is currently in the early stages so we still
     have some time. My wife found the situation of having to move
     rather traumatic and blamed herself for the situation and
     besides this I was in a rotten mood most of the time, so for
     the moment we are staying where we are and we are both now
     smiling again.

(2) Conditions pretty poor at start - had virtually no winter
     and little rain (but PLENTY of cloud!)and the cloud is still
     persisting, so first half of session was tracking blind on
     satellites in "autotrack mode" and then looking for the
     satellite whenever the cloud thinned enough or was in a brief
     gap.

Cheers
Greg
