Night all

( 01.37 last night )

Leo got the snipe!

Wizi - I was just expressing my displeasure at the lack of the steam locomotives on the local part of the route of that charter!

Momma - tonight may well be a late one depending on the clarity of the sky; major meteor shower tonight although unfortunately the moonlight is severely interfering with observations.

I dont think there will ever be one!.......

Morning all

Im the last..

( 01.47 last night )

Saw 16 meteors in the space of an hour last night - not bad considering I only had 20% of the sky available to me ( from the study plus restricted by the need to keep the Moon out of my eyes ).

Done a load of Xmas shopping today.

Night all...Wrapped all mine ready for Stoke..

Morning all See you soon

( 22.48 last night )

More shopping and a load of wrapping done today...

( 00.27 last night )

Going to be somewhat later tonight... it already is!

More wrapping and cards done tonight; plus I nipped up to Crewe earlier for a natter with a railway mate.

You would love star gazing here in Northumberland Peter....

Hope momma having a nice time away..

*hoping Momma doesn't read back through all the posts when she gets back*

*blames Christmas preparations*

Leo, yes you're right - it would be nice for me to spend a few clear moonless nights in the Kielder Forest area.

Night all..Had a lovely time Until I had news that my sister had died

( 23.59 last night )

Oh Momma.

Dreadful news indeed momma.

Morning all

Night

( 01.37 last night )
