i’m not even half way there on the mo.  i’m a bit fearful of what it will become.  anyway …

there was a 87% solar eclipse.  people gathered at the window to watch.  i tried taking a picture through some dark glasses, but the remaining sun was too bright and i wiggled so it didn’t come out very well (above).  then i took another picture which had a funny reflection down below which must have been due to the tinted windows reflecting the light and go this inverted version (below)

that was quite exciting.  and i bought jane a new phone

i also spotted some weird patterns on the floor under a tree which i think might have been eclipse related.  i’ll have to look tomorrow morning and see if they are still there.

    Hi Dave, I’ll wager that the funny patterns under the tree are definitely eclipse-related. I noticed exactly the same phenomenon here in a woodland S. England when we had an eclipse back in 1999 – the ground was a mosaic of shadows caused, presumably, by individual leaves. It all added to the general eeriness, literally (in my case)a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
