On the other hand I went out watching planets tonight, it was the first night where the jet lag wasn't killing me, and as usual, nice clear sky.... Mercury, Venus and Mars making a nice setting earlier, then Neptune and Uranus just now, followed by Jupiter, with the GRS just popping round for a bit of a show. Lovely!
Meh it's no different to this freaking town
