David,

Nah, those pics were put up for the New Zealanders amongst us.  I'm not sure they'd want to share their sheep with the Welsh!   :o

That wipes out all the puns I know (well at least all those I could write in the public domain!) about sheep. Bet the Bookeroo could add to that though! Yes, Paul we have had sheep(ish) conversations before.

I thought the reference to sheep would have brought some glee from the Aberdonians?

October stats for North Portugal (I don't have specific stats for everything)

The mean value for the month was between 16.0 and 18°C, which is 1.5-2.5 °C above the 1961-1990 average.

The total rainfall (specifically in my own town) for Sept+Oct was 35.0 mm, which is 13% of the 1961-1990 average (last year it was over 200%)

The total sunshine for the month was between 240-250 hours (last year it was less than 140 hours).

October stats for Canberra (bear in mind it is spring in the Southern Hemisphere).....

Mean maximum 23.2'C (long term average 19.3)
Mean minimum  8.2'C  (long term average 6.0)

Sunshine average per day 9.8hrs (long term average 8.6hr/d)

Rainfall 22.6mm (long term average 62.7mm)

Long term averages are from 1939 to 2007

That what you're after Mark?  I think relevent figures match.... I had to chop and change throughout a website to find different bits, but I think they're each relevent to each other.

And David.... run out of puns?.... but they're Shear brilliance!!  ;D

Quotes "Nah, those pics were put up for the New Zealanders amongst us".

and

"Paul we have had sheep(ish) conversations before".


I thought i'd be able to stay out of the conversation however it's got the better of me.

I leave you all to consider whether there is a connection to sheep or maybe a hairy sheep dog in the following .......

An award that's presented each week by one of our local radio stations to a listener who has done something foolish and been dobbed in by friends is called the 'woolly woofter award'.


Cheers Dave.

the view from the kitchen window was actually quite beautiful---and it's always a blessing to have an 8 month illusion of order...
