in case anyone's interested, there's a lunar eclipse tonight between (i think) 22.43 and midnight. it's a full moon and clear sky - and due to the dust in the atmosphere it's expected to shine red - a 'blood moon'. worth a look... wjp6662007-03-03 21:42:22

Just had a look. Hmmm, not impressed!

It was wonderful. The children and I watched it.

I love eclipses, especially if I have the opportunity to sit outside, beside a fire, sipping a warming drink and just watching.

Bliss.

Of course it's not Coronation Street, but then how could mother nature hope to match up to the weekly spectacle of 24 northerners who when not sleeping with their daughter's boyfriends/mother's boyfriends or father's boyfriends, each other, themselves and the kitty cat from number 42 (and getting caught doing it), spend every night sitting in the pub?

I love eclipses too but I obviously had the same problem as 623. It did go a bit blurry but that was it.

But? But what? It was as clear as a bell here and the moon went brick red.

Well it wasn't here. It was cloudy.

As Chocadmin keeps saying, that will be your popup blocker. Hold down your Control key to stop it.

I don't have a pop up blocker. Makes no difference. I can use hyperlink and image insert but not image upload. It does not work on my PC. Please try to understand.

How many times do you need to tell us you can't post photos?

Is your nose bleeding from having it stuck so far in the air?
