Ah, crap

We got into town only to find the concert cancelled. Pizza at the food hall and coffee at Borders was not the evening I had in mind. Still, we picked up some DVDs including I, Claudius which we only had on tape and season 8 of Inspector Rex, so it wasn't a complete loss. And now for a nice cup of tea, a sit down, and some Hyperdrive. Shut it; I like Hyperdrive and its strange and indefinably British humour.

There's a total eclipse of the moon tonight in a couple of hours but that fails to delight me given that all we'll see will be clouds and sodding rain. [hates winter with a vengeance] :-(

Is it cold and windy and wet too? I want a lunar eclipse, dammit.

It's cold in the office, because they've got the damned A/C cranked up to arctic levels. It's nice outside, but I can't stay out too long. And there's nothing to see but a bright smudge on the clouds. :(

Here's hoping it clears up a bit for at least one of us.

It has, and the wind's dropped. The moon's gone pink! Very like Tessa's eye in fact, as we've told her.

Yay! Glad to hear something's worked out for ya tonight!

Sadly, the sky is still a featureless blank here...

Awww. There's still time (2.5 hours?) to see the other half of the eclipse. Now I've found we can see that bit of sky from one window, I'm going upstairs and not venturing out in that cold wind again.
