Drove down to Alresford today - took advantage of free parking as well as avoiding the hoi polloi (and Covid) on public transport. If I'd have gone on Tuesday, it would have cost me all of £1.50 more. 3 hours each way, with my right knee giving up on me somewhere in the environs of St Albans on the way home.

I've seen the comet !
We drove all the way out to Cherhill thinking that e would get a clear view on a clear evening not knowing how light it would be at 10.30. We waited a long time for it to get darkish . Saw a few satellites, a few shooting stars and stars. Jupiter was very bright but we didn't see the comet .
Came home, went into the back garden and climbed up on to a chair with my binoculars and looked around from the north east to North and spotted it! It was very distinct through the binocs with a plume pointing almost vertically upwards. It was to the right hand side of the Plough , another pan length across and about a pan deep lower.
The Sky at Night people will be astounded by how technical I am .

I paid a rather high price for a bulb with a red coating from the dealer to go behind a coloured lens. The clear ones were remarkably cheaper!

Yes. At one time you could paint the bulbs, but then the manufacturers got wise to it and painted them with coloured lacquer and offset the bayonet pins.

Getting ready for work: early today as I'm on opening /locking up this week.

Will need to go shopping after work.

Apartment a mess, as is usual after a foray to Stuttgart over the weekend.

In other news, I had a haircut on Saturday.

Morning.
Bright blue clear sky here at the moment.
I made some blue this morning as my packets of ready made porridge have run out .

I got Amber Rudd mixed up with Amber Heard.
I wondered why she was at the High Court !

You mixed a fish up with a cow?

Okay maybe inappropriate, in my defence I had no idea who Amber Heard was, just a play on words.

I was prodded awake at 1:30, “Do you want to see the comet?” Rolled over, looked through bedroom window, saw comet, went back to sleep. We may go out tonight for a better look.
