Dr Morbius I see you are a Robbie Fan

"Forbidden Planet" 1957 starring Leslie Neilson, Walter Pidgeon etc one of the best sci-fi movies made for it's time, if not the best.

Aha... are you paying attention. This may take some explaining...

You may be aware that I have ordered a Skyshed POD - but it hasn't arrived yet... however, progress on the site preparation for it has been slow. All the earthworks are now done, and I'm keen to get the concreting done so it's ready when the POD arrives. Today I took delivery of a concrete mixer as a Father's day present, and I'm keen to start on the pier footing...

So while the purchase is not directly astronomical in nature, there is a link that I'm suspicious about...

A very Happy Father's Day to all the dad's and granddad's.
Hope everyone has an enjoyable day today.

All my kids surprised me this morning with lovely little gifts which they made themselves and they all pitched in to buy me some men's cologne, a coffee mug and a pen.

My youngest son (6) gave me a rock, he loves collecting rocks, and my very youngest daughter (4) gave me some of her drawings .

A pair of sunnies and t-shirts from my wife and a special pancake breakfast made it a real treat.
It certainly was busy around the breakfast table this morning.
