-8F when I left for work this morning. That's -22C, or fecking cold for those using a more empirical temperature scale.

English isn't much of a language for swearing. When I studied Ancient Greek I was delighted to discover a single word - Rhaphanidosthai - which translates roughly as "Be thou thrust up the fundament with a radish for adultery."

The smoke wafted gently in the breeze across the poop deck and all seemed right in the world.

Cold, but not outrageously so.

Overcast. It has been overcast most days and every night since Monkey.
How do I know that? Well, Mrs. H. and I got one of these between us for Monkey:
We managed to get it set up and had a five-minute look at Jupiter on Boxing Day night, but apart from that we've not been able to use it at all.

I should add that we got the adaptor to attach a camera to the eyepiece, and the motor-drive to enable long exposures with the rotation of the Earth and all that.

While you're waiting, you could do some bedroom window shots. Nudge nudge, wink wink.

Do you ever think that you are a little bit fat, and you need to lose some weight, perhaps you are feeling unattractive and poorly dressed? Then try going shopping in Asda in Kilmarnock. You'll come out feeling like James Bond in an evening suit by comparison.black bart wrote:Have you seen his neighbours!DavidH wrote:While you're waiting, you could do some bedroom window shots.

Ayrshire is a major producer of pig meat products and potatoes. You can tell by looking at the population. You don't need a telescope.

Finally got a clear night. Had another good look at Jupiter. We had five moons for a little while (we think), but mostly just four that are plainly visible.
