just thought i would pop in to tell you all that i am recovering slowly from the weekends events.
no sleep thursday nite before i drove up early (4am departure) friday morning put me behind the 8 ball as far as doing all nighters on the observing field over the weekend (and probably influenced my decision not to stay for the sunday nite - or was that the clouds that appeared ?).
then of course i had to get up early each morning to set up for the vendors stalls in the main hall.
the weekend just seemed to fly past - didn't even get a chance to put the batteries in my camera - let alone have a walk around the field to look at all the scopes that were assembled. (I did notice that "MY" 16" lightbridge was there though h0ughy)
of course i set up the little scope with the pony club brigade and it was great to be able to observe with nephew Michael for a couple of nites. i hope we convinced him he would have fun if he joined us up the mountain now and then.
the SPSP mob did a great job in running the event again this year and my hat goes off to them - hope the two people that picked up my two eyepiece cases in the raffle can put them to good use and there is sure to be another couple on offer next year.
we added a few more people to the freezer suit tribe over the weekend and if the prediction for the winter months ahead is correct, they will not be left hanging in the cupboard.
more latter perhaps when i get a bit of work done
