Soupy Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Don't think 15 rounds is good at any age Damian!Never thought I'd hear you say you'd be missing the mirror. Seems you will come back with renewed vigour to get it finished... That's great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicky050373 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Hope you have recovered now Damian - you have to go steady at your age lol When are you coming back home again?You haven't missed any viewing opportunities whilst you have been away Just to let you all know there are a couple of Astronomy type programmes on BBC4 starting at 8pm, followed by new Sky at Night at 10pm.

Best thing though you don't need 20 layers to keep warm just shorts and tshirt Damian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soupy Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Nice southern report. But we'll all be out with shorts and a t-shirt soon shame the skies won't get dark enough though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soupy Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Cheers soupy on't beer againSo am I, just so happens that I'm sat in cold, dark, cloudy Yorkshire, whereas you are galavanting about in the hot, cloudless Mediterranean night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soupy Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Thought id stay up to see if there was any aurora, as it was forecast... Unfortunately only cloud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicky050373 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Nice Sourhern viewing report there Damian - I miss Orion in our skies as it is always a lovely constellation to observe either naked eye or with binos/scope. Sounds like you are having a blast - you'll need another week off work to recover lol Yes, the weather reports do look favourable for the next couple of evenings, so fingers crossed!

mapstar Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Cheers VickyHad a steady one last night as we were all shattered! Up bright and early and only having two days left we need to get my friend's apartment sorted ready for the coming season.It looks a lot like Yorkshire today as there is lots of high cloud about but still warm.Hope the weather picks up back home for you all and it will be good to get out again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky050373 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Make sure you tie that sun onto the tail of the plane when you come home buddy Good job you weren't trying to sort the apartment after "Vodka-gate" lol - enjoy your last couple of days!

mapstar Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 It has steadily clouded up during the day but I managed a sun halo earlier which was quite neatI'll try my best Vicky ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soupy Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Yep keep those clouds there Damian.. We need some clear skies. Next two nights wind is not looking too promising though! Will have to judge on the night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark62 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Yep keep those clouds there Damian.. We need some clear skies. Next two nights wind is not looking too promising though! Will have to judge on the night The wind is to drop as we're supposed to get frost. I've just had a 3 day weekend and as usual it's going to be fine for two nights. I'll be glad when I retire. Will have to see how it goes in the next 3 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
