Between a rock and a hard place!
Can you believe this!
After years of drooling over larger scopes, I finally have my 10" newt (not that I have been able to use it due to weather and holidays).
I was able to justify the purchase with the "Minister for Finance", as I had accrued substantial brownie points from being the supportive husband while she stopped work for 18 months to finish off a dissertation for her Masters in Public Health. No income, high stress, potential divorce! Note she was doing the dissertation when we first got married 10 years ago!!!
So anyway, she finishes the dissertation and I buy the scope, in time for Qld Astrofest. I have hired a campervan to attend and all is set to go...
Yesterday a letter arrives from uni advising her graduation ceremony is 2pm, Friday 21 July!!!
Decisions, decisions! Do I leave Astrofest to attend a boring graduation (her description), or do I risk life and limb and stay a Astrofest? All comments welcome!
