A bit sparse every day. 
Nothing special in the way of DX. 
SF5O is of course Sweden, ZB2TEN/B is of course a beacon on Gibraltar and CX2DK is a hound in Uruguay. 
Don’t have a name for the hound but they say he has good ears for DX.

Sun: No sunspots today.

Stoke drew against lowly Shrewsbury in the FA cup and promptly sacked manager Rowett. Success for the team has been thin on the ground. In fact in the league we’ve lost the last two matches. Brentford on Saturday, I’ll be there.

The Indian cricket team were robbed of a possible innings defeat of Australia by poor light and rain and it’s OZ’s summer too. I had a good first day at the SCG (Sydney) with my son. By the time you read this I’ll be back in the UK to cold weather.
