The picture was taken this evening at 2154. I had gone out to see if the moon is visible to me. Well, it would be if it weren’t for the clouds. whad have a really interesting formation; as soon as I saw it I thought about streaky bacon laid out on a tray. The moon is visible between each rasher, but the clouds are moving at a fair rate, so I wouldn’t attempt to observe tonight. Let alone that it’s a full moon, so would be quite boring to view as all of the features would be flatly lit. give it a few days.
Before we went away on holiday, the garden was in a bit of a state. Nothing was growing, and the ground was parched. Things had changed a bit by the time we returned. Elayne’s words were: “The veg is useless, the weeds have gone berserk.”
With a brief interlude when we looked after Aurora, we spent a lot of the day in the garden. At the end of it all, we had a full brown bin, which is not due for collection for about 10 days, so that’s a bit frustrating (if Elayne keeps this up, I foresee a trip to the recycling centre), plus both compost bins are now full, so I don’t know where the cuttings are going after I’ve cut the grass tomorrow.
I asked Elayne if she was happy with the result, and she was. She then went and spent an hour at the Alverstoke Michaelmas fayre. I dropped her off just before three, and it finishes at four, so I expected it to be in full wind-down, and therefore not worth bothering with. Elayne walked home.
Overall, a successful day. We fell asleep in front of the TV.
Oh, one comment I wanted to add: when I went out to look for the moon, I was surprisingly quite impressed with how dark it was. Don’t know how they managed to achieve that.
