[les_taxi]

Hmm the article said 20 years for next one but everywhere else it says 9th Sept :Erm:

[Michael Parnham]

It seems yesterday morning it was hazy, but this morning very clear at 4am and it seemed extremely bright clear and larger. Very nice! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[stevewool]

Took some pictures last night of the moon. Will show them later when I have woken up properly

[joebloggs]

The moon and clouds didn't help anyone hoping to see meteors from the Perseid meteor shower. Only saw one last night! :cwm24: Will look tonight again :smile:

One day,I`ll get a decent camera and learn how to take proper detailed images like that Steve!

Meanwhile, this was taken from our garden on the night with a camera phone.

We have spent a few hundred pounds now on the camera and we both enjoy taking pictures. This is going to be a great help when moving over to the Phils, it will keep me busy doing something we both enjoy

I've been building up to a re-start of a previous passion for watercolour painting.

Hopefully keep me out of trouble when I move out too :biggrin:

I was thinking about you the other day Peter. We were in Aldi and they had beach fishing rods at just over £15 and they looked good too.

I thought, Peter mentioned this before, shall I buy one now or get a few extra packs of cheese? The cheese won this time

I would rather be sitting in your garden taking the pictures than sitting in mine, Fred :xxgrinning--00xx3:
