Waiting for Godot & salvation :-)

Why do doctors have to practice?
You'd think they'd have got it right by now

I dunno. Yes I do. Can't turn off gravity. I know I'm right cos I've tried.

Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

Yep annoying isn't it. You

Yep annoying isn't it. You throw your hands up in horror at something but they always fall down again. I blame that Mr Einstein who switched it on in the first place.

I thought it was Newton that discovered gravity; or, at least defined it...

Newton invented it, Einstein

Newton invented it, Einstein warped it and the rest of us abuse it or are abused by it. After all how could I properly fall out of bed without it ? :-) :-)

Cheers, Mike.

Perseid meteor shower

Perseid meteor shower peaks

Thursday, Aug. 13, 2 a.m.

The Perseid meteor shower is always the most reliable in the year, and this year benefits from having the moon out of the sky for most of the night.

Although Perseid meteors can be seen at any time of night, there are always more meteors after midnight because then the Earth is heading directly into the shower.

Although they appear to radiate from a point in the constellation Perseus in the northeastern sky, they can be seen anywhere in the sky.

This should be a better year where I am since we still have clear sky at night and the Moon decided to give me a dark sky this time.

I usually go out the night before to catch a few if it is a nice night like tonight here.

Last week I was out trying to get the best 6 minute view of the ISS as it goes directly above me as I stand out in the middle of the place but we had the full Moon at the same time so it was the ISS was only bright as it came from the west and straight above me.

Over 50 years of staring in the night sky and still no *Uncle Martin*
