Best in the far north. 98%. 100% cloud cover in London means we will see nothing. Fortunately we have a few hundred thousand more interesting aspects of life to focus on ....
It's brightened up here, a little. Looks like the Sun hasn't crashed into the Moon and exploded, destroying us all in the process. When's the next solar eclipse due?
I was just finishing off making my pinhole camera shoebox device with about 10 mins to go before the eclipse. No cloud here. But then I was required to serve some customers who wanted to know all about the Mac and wanted to buy one and needed advice. It's not a 10 minute conversation and I couldn't tell them to bugger off and come back after the eclipse (although, if it were my shop, I might have done). So I missed the entire eclipse. Bugger.
Indeed, 5 minutes spent in quiet contemplation of the wonders of nature in all it's glory is rarely 5 minutes wasted.
