AAAARRRGHHH!!!!!!!
so freakin annoyed - It's clear here now, and will be all night....one FREAKING day too early....as I have Thursday offf. And I had LAST WEEK OFF! It is just pathetic. IT PICKED THE WRONG BLOODY CHEEWWSSSDAY TO BE CLEAR  AND it's a mere 24 bloody hours or 60,000sumfink seconds too early because Wed night would be betta electrical for me as I have Fursday offf!!!!

Got the scope out last night with no moon...must be first time in months...Wouldn't you know my finders were out of adjustment and focus off...by the time I got these sorted, too tired to photograph. Friday night may be promising?

Was great here last night.
I did a 'Live' astro broadcast from 9:00pm right through till 4:00am when I had to stop due to fog coming in. Only had a few small light fog patches during the whole night.
Was good to see a few of you drop in and say Hi
Seemed strange seeing the stars again

According the the forecast, Friday night looks promising for a continuation of this diahorrea orgy of a winter.
I am still spewing over last night, inconcievable.
1 day too early, exactly 1 week too late. Yucky mucky poo
Went to bed .. .clear, woke up at 5.30am ... clear, thought I was gonna freaking arrest.

Yeah, particularly it being my last day at uni for the week. If it occured 24 hours later (i.e. TODAY), or 168 hours earlier (i.e. LAST CHEWSDAY DURING A WEEK BREAK) I'd be outside this flipping moment . What a king hit in the kid factory.
