Ah yes I guess it depends on which world you live in as to the level of importance placed on this particular event and a couple of things that cracked me up, one on the day and one the following day at work.
A former work colleague "Engineer" who lives down the road from me saw me as he went past my place around 2/3rd transit and so pulled in the driveway to say gday and asked what I was up to with the telescopes out.
After explaining I was watching the transit of Venus across the face of the Sun he replied,
"Can you see that in the daytime"
Now I almost LOL
when he said that but I held my composure and reiterated, "ah it's the Sun"
And then to go to work the next day and having put a very nice shot that I'd got as my computer screen background up and then showing a current work colleague "Engineer" I proudly said that I'd taken the shot of the Venus transit and with the picture of the Sun right in front of him I again heard those immortal words,
"Can you see that in the daytime"
So if she finds following bald headed men around a more interesting way to get her jollies then so be it.
