Weather Report..................

The rain called it a day, the same time as I did. Sunny but cool in the strong Northerly winds that are trying to blow the laundry off the line.
Smell of oranges through the hovel..
The Child Bride is making marmalade. Hopefully, the wind will keep the bees away.. They swarmed in through the kitchen skylight, last year.. Quite interesting.
I've for a rolled up newspaper ready, just in case.

If anyone is interested... or if you're having difficulty sleeping!

There is going to be a total lunar eclipse early tomorrow morning if you're up early enough and have clear skies.

"Super Blood Wolf Moon"

Lunar eclipse guide 2019 | When and where to see in the UK | Explore Royal Museums Greenwich

"On 21 January 2019 a total lunar eclipse will be visible over most of North America, South America and parts of west and north Europe. The rest of Europe and Africa can witness the end of the eclipse.

Those in the UK will be able to see every part of the eclipse as long as they are willing to stay up all night! The Moon will start to enter the Earth’s shadow just after 2:30am GMT and the maximum eclipse will occur just before 5:15am. The entire eclipse lasts for more than five hours, ending at 7:48am.

The optimal viewing time to see the eclipse is between 4:41am – 5:43am. This is the period of totality, where the moon lies entirely in the Earth’s umbra (full shadow) and will appear red."

There's also Facebook pages which will be streaming live video if you don't want to get out of bed and look for yourself.

Here's the FB page set up by the rmg site above which will be streaming the moon video:

Thanks, setting the alarm, but not much hope of being cloud free here.
 
Well the earth shadow is nearly half way across the moon here, no red colour yet though...

It's very clear outside and there is a hard frost.
 
Thanks Marie.
Hope you had a good view of it.
We retired early and sober, expecting the usual nocturnal perambulations of at least one of us to raise the alarm.
True to form, we both slept through
Back to boring reality, 15 degrees, unblemished blue skies, gentle breeze, breakfast outside, sockless again.
 
A moonlit walk in Cornwall for me last night. The moon was bright and no headtorch needed as I walked by streams and through woods back to the Moho.
There was then a spectacular view of the 'blood moon' in the early hours of this morning.

From somewhere above the clouds.

So, winter is finally arriving!

Looks like the boys in the Borders and north west Scotland will be getting a fair dousing of the white stuff if the forecasters are correct.

If it keeps up we could be looking at a cold & snowy meet up at Moffat!!

Anybody know how well Ivecos handle snow & ice? :)
 
Suns up here but turning colder and where it’s just been wet it’s turning icy ? but no snow ❄️ yet!!
