Thought that was on the 5th?

Correction, it's tomorrow.

Any idea how to find out where in the sky the moon will be at eg 0600 ?
I assume it will be south south/West which is the only direction I have a view.

Nice walk up Lydeard Hill.
Never been before.
Fantastic views, easy walks and good parking.

West Nor West based on

And in case the link doesn't work, it's timeanddate, moonrise and Warrington. You can choose your location.

You were robbed of 3 points.
Ipswich should have been forced to play with 10 men.

I can't remember why but I didn't get to the original game. My view is the rules say an abandoned game should be replayed. Unlike 99% of Rovers I don't have a problem with that. There's nothing to say Ipswich wouldn't have scored in the 94th minute......just like last night.

We are supposed to have a super moon/waxing moon........ so armed with ny camera phone I've just been to the front.
Its foggy so if there is a moon I can't see it.

The last two nights we've had a brilliantly bright moon around 3.00am. Almost daylight.

I am a bit nervous about the party - I have a terrible memory for faces and names so I probably won't know whether or not I have met the people there before or not unless I have seen them several times!
Oh - it is for the staff and volunteers for the AgeUK thing I do and it is in their main place - which is not where I operate so the people I normally see may not be there at all!

I have always been nervous of parties and events and the like - never liked going
but many many years ago I told myself that I just need to get on with it and always go however worried I am
otherwise I would never go anywhere
I am weird like that

It’s not weird in any way , loads of people feel this way . Including my daughter and I . It’s part of that fight or flight response that’s in all of us .
Look on the bright side , most of the people that don’t have this response often turn out to have a touch of the psychopath about them . 😂😂😀

That's not real.......its photoshopped.
BUT
Which direction is it ?
(if of course it genuine)

 

[Dave7]

@PaulSB Typical. I've just been outside. Its cloudy and raining

It is real. Honest. The moon is currently in the east. I find the way the moon moves very weird. It seems it can appear in just about any quadrant.

I’ve just got in from a 40 minute wander. Nice big moon here and it was nice to see the Christmas lights.

This is the moon from Barnet tonight.

There is a hazy bit of cloud, but it is still very bright.

 

[Paulus]

But, it's raining now.

I ordered a new office chair online. The confirmation said it was due 9th to 11th Dec. At lunchtime a DPD van pulled up at the house. The nice man unloaded my new chair.
