No eclipse here !!!

Well much as expected, the uk was cloud covered for yesterday's eclipse.
However lots of good pics from around the world and Google have a delightful home page with a complete viewing video.......there will be lots on U Tube I'm sure.....but here, well as I am still trying to work out how to set up the microfocuser I look to the web for closeups ha ha....I will crack it one day............

Meanwhile the shed roof is still smiling.... and this should all have been on Jim's Astronomy Stuff blog !! ........

With regard to the weather....well it is anybodies guess really....

Who would be a weather forcaster ???

Well I wouldnt hope ever to be.......after weeks of fab sunshine, days of no wind and some getting worried about the lack of rain...all of a sudden the wind is gusting from all directions......





and now the rain is giving everything a good soaking.... see 18mm yesterday, and water butts filled swiftly.....



jolly good for the ducks eh!





quack quack

Lovely weather for doing stuff

Todays sunrise has the promise of another loverly dayeeeee

So Im orf to Wildrose to get down and dirty ... again......

Or not ! !

Having checked with my newly aquired orienteering compass ( a leaving pressy on finishing work from lovely colleagues.... many thanks..) anyway, when I checked for North, well it would appear that I am some 12 degrees out...........and I have moved the rain guage........so I fear my data is less than accurate, meterologically speaking......Memo to me....must reset the equipment...now where have I put the instructions ? ? ?...... In the meantime here is todays weather...or not...! ! ! . Ah well.......with no wind, direction doesn't really matter ha! Unlike the tornadoes I am just hearing about in North Carolina...... Halesowen will do me fine thank you..
