Have a great lunch and hope your night is better tonight.

Thanks for this, but the morning was probably worst with two layers of total cloud cover and a few raindrops. This was disappointing, because only about an hour before, the Cross and the southern stars through the Milky Way were shining brightly. Since 5.30pm it in now bucketing down raining... Curses.
(I been thinking of getting an old unused lens or mirror, and take it outside and reverently place it under sky a token for the sky or cloud gods - just to appease them. It might work, but even if it doesn't, the rain might at least clean the surfaces.)

Lunch and company, however, was pretty good. Need more shut-eye though - but that's for the working week. There is always the hope of next weekend.

Regards
