Dear Uncle Dick
Ah warmth... During a particularly cold spell this winter (hard
puddles!) I stuck the "outdoor" part of my cheapo in/out digital
thermometer into the cupboard under my sink (in the darkroom, in the
basement, on a south wall) thinking it was a bit chilly one day (or at
least the bottle I pulled out seemed a tad cool) It was 6.7C (do the
math for the F conversion) Even allowing for a cheap thermometer, it was
a bit surprising, this is the banana belt of Canada. Counter top temp
was about 13C.
Spring is springing, lawn is cut (I refused to cut it in early Feb, this
is Canada after all) and my darkroom is now reaching all of 20C without
the benefit of my electric wonder space heater. (can lose the gloves
for another season) The Jobo is less stressed - though I did return to
the darkroom this morning to find the surface it was sitting on awash.
Suspect I loosened the drain a tad when fiddling with it the other
day...now it's sitting full of water again so I can see if it was a
loosened bung or the whether there is a small hole somewhere in the
wondrous black stuff that's supposed to keep the water in the right
shape to fill it.

But the car battery's fine.

Dear David,
68 degrees Fahrenheit? 20 degrees Celsius? Oh do me a favour. I
dream of 20 degrees Celsius! I dream of 24 degrees celsius. I dream of a
darkroom that is cool enough to wear trousers in....
Actually, I lie. I have recently acheived 24 degrees and a batch of
sheet film through the Jobo CPE 2 Plus. It was Ilford something ( I had
wiped the markings off the holders with sweat ) and it went for 4
minutes in Rodinal and the negatives are lovely. Pity the emulsion all
boiled off them in the wash water.

PS: Summer is a'going out.
