  Rain spoiled my viewing attempt last night......maybe next year. :-/

[Banjax]

cloudy til about 1am or so, clear sky but only saw maybe 5 or 6 in half an hour

[Varche]

put my bed outside last night and saw a few before falling asleep as so tired.

would have been more if i hadn't spent a few hours waiting at the airport for Jereboam. Where were you?

Multitasking! That's the problem when you get to my age.  You mentioned beer, so I went off to get some (can't keep it in the house - ex-student son living here at the moment).  Got the beer, came home, drank the beer, forgot about the airport.  Or possibly: got the beer, came home, forgot about the airport, drank the beer.

Sorry.  Overcast with threat of thunderstorms here last night - didn't even make it to the garden let alone the airport.

[size=8]GO and catch a falling star,
Get with child a mandrake root,
Tell me where all past years are,
Or who cleft the devil's foot,
Teach me to hear mermaids singing,
Or to keep off envy's stinging,
And find
What wind
Serves to advance an honest mind.

If thou be'st born to strange sights,
Things invisible to see,
Ride ten thousand days and nights,
Till age snow white hairs on thee,
Thou, when thou return'st, wilt tell me,
All strange wonders that befell thee,
And swear,
No where
Lives a woman true and fair.

If thou find'st one, let me know,
Such a pilgrimage were sweet;
Yet do not, I would not go,
Though at next door we might meet,
Though she were true, when you met her,
And last, till you write your letter,
Yet she
Will be
False, ere I come, to two, or three.[/size]

Fantastic. 

Tell me where all past years are

Got me beat too.

Too much cloud last nite over my way, couldnt see anything, plus with the city light bouncing off the cloud made it even worse.

Been standing outside for ages now and the only things I have seen with tails are aircraft over Bovingdon beacon, and a fox that jumped in the garden and frightened the shite out of me

Can you be anywhere to see them??
