Observation Night at the Central Coast - Pony Club Aug 2nd

With the new moon on 1st August, it is getting close again for another night of laughter, frivolity and also maybe some good viewing.
Are all starters happy for Saturday 2nd August?
If it is anything like last month it will be exceptional. weather permitting of course.
So pull on the woollies and freezer suits and be there.

"who who" ever gets there first and picks up the key

i will be scopeless - can't lift anything heavier than a can of beer at the moment - and can't lift it any higher than my mouth - so the doctor say's

aren't i lucky

i am predicting - no rain - no clouds - cold - maybe a little wind (to keep the dew away)

be there or be square - so they say

Hope you get clear skies!!!

Don't worry too much about that owl Scott-he's pretty armless I hear at the moment and he's travelling on A wing and a prayer about Saturday night's weather. Only trouble is I think he's right about the weather being good on Saturday. Shame you can't make it. You'll just have to notch up more brownie points during the lead-up. See ya next one maybe. Cheers
