Hmm the article said 20 years for next one but everywhere else it says 9th Sept

It seems yesterday morning it was hazy, but this morning very clear at 4am and it seemed extremely bright clear and larger. Very nice!

Took some pictures last night of the moon. Will show them later when I have woken up properly

The moon and clouds didn't help anyone hoping to see meteors from the Perseid meteor shower. Only saw one last night! Will look tonight again

We have spent a few hundred pounds now on the camera and we both enjoy taking pictures. This is going to be a great help when moving over to the Phils, it will keep me busy doing something we both enjoy

I've been building up to a re-start of a previous passion for watercolour painting.

Hopefully keep me out of trouble when I move out too

I was thinking about you the other day Peter. We were in Aldi and they had beach fishing rods at just over £15 and they looked good too.

I thought, Peter mentioned this before, shall I buy one now or get a few extra packs of cheese? The cheese won this time

I would rather be sitting in your garden taking the pictures than sitting in mine, Fred
