The clock on the silo

It’s not often that you see the clock on the silo saying eleven degrees while it’s the month of May. Certainly it’s the first time I’ve seen it since they refurbished the clock. Though I wasn’t high on the hill, nor was I looking over the bridge, but I was on the train instead (and I did whiz past the MCG).

This time last year the clock was in pieces so it wasn’t displaying anything at all, let alone eleven degrees. However, I was almost wondering if it’d happen this year since a few other times when I’ve been past in the last month it’s been switched off. One other time it was displaying 60˚ (I hope it meant Fahrenheit in that instance otherwise 60˚ is damn hot!) then later that day it was also switched off. Additionally the LEDs don’t provide the same viewing angle as the previous lightbulb things. Doesn’t look as though the refurbishment has been too smooth.
