I just looked out and saw the cloud clearing and have been monitoring weather apps all afternoon.
I cackled with glee and started hauling out the HEQ5, went to charge my mobiles in the bedroom and the wife says: "Where are you going?" ..."The sky just cleared so I am taking out the telescope?" To which she replies " Can you not make it a late night as I want everyone to help clean the house tomorrow".......................... .....................
Needless to say this made me grumble, so I turned around, mumbled something along the lines of "well I won't bother then" and packed it back up again.
Jeez Louise!!!!!!
Tell you what though. IF tomorrow evening is clear, SHE is making dinner, as I am going to be set up and running at twilight, it's been so long between drinks!
Its going to be a while before I can get the obs built, but it can't come soon enough! This sort of crap is pissing me off.
Cheers
Chris
P.S.
My day: Got up at 715am, went to the pool shop to get water tested, to the shops to change over some of her clothes, Bunnings for a powerboard and pool stuff, chemist to get a script filled, back home, did all the ironing, vacuumed the floors, cleaned the kitchen, put the dishwasher on, did a load of washing and hung it out, mowed the lawn, went to the shops to get some things for dinner, a trip to her sister's to pick up some left over Xmas ham, made 5 different dinners for the family, cleaned the kitchen again, sat down and had a beer, looked up at 10:00pm and finally saw stars rather than clouds.......and then she pulls that crap on me?????
