I was wide awake at 3am
and didn't get back to sleep again. I eventually gave up trying to
sleep and got up. Last week I mentioned that I wasn't impressed with
the BBC's comedy show Blandings. I tried another episode; it's not
getting any better.
After a couple of
episodes of Family Guy I set off to work. As I drove I listened to
the radio. Despite a bright sunny morning it would seem that much of
the country is still suffering from a very wet winter. So much so
that the National Trust was suggesting actually abandoning
some land to the sea. An interesting position to take; albeit
probably very pragmatic.
Work was relatively good;
I slipped out at lunch time for a quick bout of SpecTrek; I've now
gone up a level. And once I'd done my bit I drove down to the Warren
in Folkestone. The plan was to have an observing night for the astro
club. It was a good plan; but the one hundred per cent cloud cover
put paid to that idea. We four brave souls that had turned up waited
for half an hour to see if the clouds would clear. And on seeing that
they wouldn't we adjourned (via the chip shop) to the
Admiralty (to eat our chips).
We try to get the scopes
out so rarely; it's such a shame that the weather was against us
today...
