One hundred and thirty of them now, all from roughly the same seat on the same crossing, all in ninety minutes or less. Some are line only because it was cold. Two are ruined by rain. Three are genuinely good.

Nobody commissioned any of this and it is the most useful thing I have ever done, because it is the only way I know to see whether I am getting better.
