mercury OH NO

0630hrs. Burpengary north of Brissie.
Full cloud towards East. Never mind, downstairs, get out my 90mm refractor, set up in garden.
Looking black, absolutely no shadows to line up on sun which is completely invisible.
In for brekky. Out 0645. Still black. Spots of rain
Decide to give it a miss
Decide to go to work on train as I need the money.
Dash up to Station. Light drizzle.
Get on train and sit on east side of carriage as no sun.
Fall asleep
5 minutes later, I feel a hot feeling on the side of my face
Wake up, look out of window.... OH NO ARRGH ARRGGHH
The Sun's out............
I should have perserveered. Hope you guys are more successful!! Good pic from WA!!
