My birthday today. Yay!
Spent the day making arty farty metal stuff in the backyard under a very blue sky. Mrs H made lobster linguine and caramel panna cotta (served sequentially and separately) for tea and I watched a fullish Moon rise through the window as we ate.
All in all a very fine day for an old bloke in Lowestoft next the sea.

Strange week! Managed to play an active part in the demise of my old Black and Decker Jigsaw and an inexpensive Chinese mini-vice. Christmas crafting has its consequences.

No electrics in the backyard thanks to storm Babet accessing some junction boxes previously water-tight. Old boxes removed and new ordered and awaiting delivery. Wiring made safe, jeans covered in mud and one old man needing a rest. So wouldn't you know it - the first clear night in weeks.
Two hours of more or less cloud free night sky and the Moon waning over Lowestoft. Too good to miss. This required drastic measures- a long extension lead out the kitchen window and the telescope lives Igor!
Managed my first proper look at Jupiter this season and captured some avi clips with my newish QHY planetary camera. Hopefully all will process well but they call it 'lucky imaging' for a reason.
Mrs H was making jam and baking Christmas cakes today so the house smells great! Now off to bed with the promise of Santa and reindeer in the air.
Nighty night stargazers.

According to Metcheck we are in for 102miles per hour winds this evening in Lowestoft, followed by three days of rain! Only got snow left to go now!
George bracing himself in Lowestoft next the sea!

According to Metcheck there wont be a night I can stargaze in Lowestoft until the 6th of November. Oh well they do say patience is a virtue!
