First Gravity reading on Coopers Stout

Its been 4 nights since kicking off the Coopers Stout. My new bottles and bottle caps have arrived and Im just waiting on the bottle capper which is on its way, so I wanted to see if the beer was getting near to bottling time. I ran the hydrometer under boiling water from the kettle and dropped it in the beer. It dropped to the point i couldnt quite see the black section - so between 1010 and 1008, I forgot to take a picture. Im not that surprised, as the room has been very warm for the most part so I expected it to go quickly. I will take anotehr reading tonight and another the next night. Im busy Wednesday night but could thenbottle it on Thursday if its stable.
