              Thanks for reminding me Zigs.

              Just popped out into the garden for a quick look. Saw one faint shooting star, several planes heading for Stansted airport and got b***dy cold.

                        There's too much cloud here at the moment but when I've got the scope out I usually see at least one or two shooting stars. I'll have a wander out later with a mug of hot tea and see what I can see.:coffee:

                            Just been out to pick up Mrs Trunky from her hockey club 'do'.

                            While I was waiting in the car park, I saw four or five meteors in about ten minutes. :)

                              Put a clean plate on top of Simon's car to collect any micro meteor dust :paladin:

                                I am so glad that you posted about this because I was beginning to think I was seeing things! :phew:

                                I saw a total of 7 shooting stars last night and couldn't believe my eyes. It was awesome! :wub2: But, it began earlier than 10pm (as stated in your article)

                                I did think of you, Our Mandy (aye!) as I stood on my patio with completely clear skies wondering if you had a good view too.
