YOU are a lucky lucky man Dennis! Cuppas, biscuits - I hope you tell your wife frequently that you could not live without her.
I don't have a wife, or live in girlfriend, or girlfriend at all officially, no-one who would think she is competing with my nocturnal astronomical endeavours, so you'd think I'd be right to observe as I see fit (and
usually I am) ....
However....
I was forced to miss the May Lunar occultation of Antares because of an EX-girlfriend - how bad is that??? I managed a quick squiz at Antares from her driveway when it was high in the sky and close to the moon, about 30 minutes prior to the occultation, before it was politely but firmly explained that I should be going inside the house.
Decorum prevents me from saying any more ..... but missing Antares !!!!!
Geesh....
