And there was me thinking you were sitting on the wing of a Ryanair jet cuz you didnt pay the extra €10,000 for bringing hand luggage.

Clear as glass tonight but seeing is not great. All those little white lights are shimmering like crazy.

All the good stuff like M42,Seven sisters,Mars have already gone way too high above my house to be observable. I saw them earlier though for a while.

Why is it that these things seem to be rising and vanishing into the west earlier these days then they were say a month ago?

Changing of the seasons?
