Eclipse, Spring and Thorpe Park
Last saturday wasn't just a run-of-the-mill full moon, but we were also lucky enough (well, those of us that noticed it) to get a blood red circle, courtesy of the good old planet earth.
We wandered up to the stone circle at Hilly Fields to get a better look at it, and while it was a lovely clear sky with many stars visible etc, the ground was a tad too muddy to stay there for very long. As we were leaving though a couple turned up looking like they were about to get with the baby makings, although I haven't been able to find any reference to a blood moon being good for the sexings. I suppose it might have just been coincidence, but anyway. Did anyone else get to see the eclipse?

It's nice finally to be light in the mornings when I have to head over to Cirencester. I have to get up before 6am in order to catch the 6:30ish train into London, to get across London and back out the other side etc etc, and it's really nice to not be sat in the dark at the station wishing I was back in bed. Now I'm sat in the light wishing I was back in bed ;)
It's also getting lighter in the evenings... not quite "light" when I get home (especially last night - train delay meant I didn't get back until gone 10pm) but it will be soon enough.

Oh, finally - we're going to Thorpe Park this saturday. Anyone want to come with?
Park opens at 10am, so we'll be on the 8:28 train from Waterloo to Staines and then we'll get the shuttlebus from Staines. So far there are 7 of us going that I know of, in two groups (we'll meet up there)
I'd offer crash space, but it might already be taken up by a few bodies - will make another post if more space becomes available or if anyone drops out.
Weather is currently shaping up for sun so it should be an excellent day :3
