dark, eerie, clear skies over Lincolnshire .. like the calm before a major storm .. the birds (winged variety) are flying around in apparent confusion .. where's the sun gone
Well it went from grey and crap in Dartford to slightly greyer and slightly crapper. Much ado about nowt. Will watch the telly later to see what actually happened.
Literally did laugh out loud when the announcer on the radio said that even though it's very cloudy I should still make sure that I don't look directly at the sun. Where the feck would I look, exactly?
Clear skies in the north west - 85% coverage I believe but didn't go as dark as I expected. Certainly not as dark as 1999's total eclipse so 15% is still pretty effective in lighting us all up!
The one or two birds still flying appeared to be very confused!

Same down here in Sunny Cornwall ......... the sun looked like a fiery version of a crescent moon, the birds started singing their bedtime songs and we got a sort of twilight.
Stunning seeing the deer silhouetted against the light, on the brow of the hill in front of my cottage.
In 1999 we had the total eclipse down here in Cornwall. Proper darkness rolling in for 10 minutes at 11 o'clock in the morning. Completely surreal.
Looks like I might miss the next total eclipse, though. Not due until 2090. I'll be long pushing up the daisies by then.
I completely forgot about it and, looking out the train window at the gloomy, foreboding skies, all I thought was, 'Well, at least I've got my umbrella.'

Don't we have 300 other days a year in this country like that?
Such a shame.
It gets dark everyday anyway.

Dara O'Brien still seems to be nicking a living as his parasite.
