3 and 8, please.

I thought I'd sent a definition, but it must have been a casualty of the poor-to-nonexistent wifi I
had access to while on holiday. Home again now! While the rest of the UK seems to have endured heavy
rain, thunderstorms, flash floods and the like, in the western Lake District we had two weeks
without a single drop of rain - unheard of at this time of year!

Best wishes,
Tim Bourne.
