As to which one it was....I have no idea.

Now, back to work, again. Me, that is. 
By the way - for months now we've rarely had more than a few minutes between clouds to glimpse anything, and most nights it's nothing but cloud and rain. Not even the moon gets through. The butterflies on the other hand are going gangbusters in my garden.

Yes, you found that exactly the same time I did, sorry for you miss so much work. Im retired, my time is suddenly valuless
