Close Asteroids

Surprised no one has mentioned the Asteroids which are coming close tonight and Sunday.

Oops, forgot to check my diary.

Mind you, I have had problems with asteroids in the past.

 

I was going to mention them, but got sidetracked by the Earth's magnetic poles flipping,

Well you can't have that now.!

 

It better not. I've only just found my compass that's been lost for 3 years.

 

Where did you lose it? Did you need another compass to find it?

 

Think I sent Folly Mon a compass, he'll slap me if it goes wrong.

TBH, I think the report of the Atmosphere being stripped is a bit scaremongering, the poles have flipped loads of times before and as far as I know, none of these events were linked to a mass extinction.

 

I was wondering how much a house sized Asteroid would be worth though

 

About a week ago I finally got round to starting to tidy the tiny bedroom, where there are still boxes and bags from when we moved two and a half years ago. Sorting through one bag, I found one of my compasses. This enabled me, for the first time since we moved in, to get an accurate bearing on which way the houses faces, rather than having to use a mix of intelligence, observation and judgement. I found that the house faces south east, which is great for the front garden. I'll be most annoyed if I get it all planted up with sun loving, drought hardy plants just for the whole lot to suddenly flip over through the night.

 

You can get creams for that now from the Chemist without prescriptions
