Morning all

Morning / Afternoon all......
Bright and beautiful here but perishing cold.

Few wires loose then Ted, got your plumbing done and your woodwork sorted, what next?, hows the 'new' car?

Have a good day all

Evening all

it was very much a 'shepherd's delight' here too, a fantastic glow so, you're right Den, it's going to be a tad coolish tonight. Mind you, the guys were out scraping their cars this morning so I guess it's set in for a few days. Less wind today though, so it felt warmer in the sun when I took a walk to the Turkish shop to get some of their bread to go with the homemade minestrone for lunch.

We'll try to be good Captain!

Perfect Viewing for Wednesday's Total Lunar Eclipse

The full lunar eclipse on Wednesday night, Feb. 20 – the last visible here for almost three years – will happen at a perfect time for viewing in most of the United States. Assuming the weather cooperates.

On the West Coast, partial eclipse will begin about 5:45 pm, just as the moon is rising. The full eclipse will begin at about 7:00 pm and last nearly an hour. Partial eclipse will end again a few minutes after nine o'clock.

Adjust those times for the same moment in different time zones – three hours later on the East Coast, eight hours later in Britain, for example. Unlike solar eclipses, for which the best observation point travels as the relative positions of the moon and Earth change, a lunar eclipse is visible to everyone on the moon-facing side of the Earth at the same time..............

I made across the channel to Cherbourg for the Solar eclipse in 1999. Wonderful! Everyone gave a spontaneous round of applause when it ended!
