24°C:modest winds; humidity is less arrogant now.

There is a helical cloud outside, it’s a vapour trail. There are a ridiculous number over this country, never fewer than a dozen visible from this town on a cloudless day. Anyway the helical cloud, it’s got a tight springy spiral as well as a longer lower pitch turn in it. Why doesn’t it spiral in both directions you ask? Funny how you do that- I was about to!

I’ve been meaning to get round to building a spiral staircase in 3DS Max. Spiral staircases are interesting and unusual because of their two-dimensional nature. They don’t go up or down, being as they are- flat.
