It was a bit of a damp squib here on the eastiest part of the country (I'm sure Ms Scarlet had a much better view over there in the west), but here are some photos of yesterday evening's partial eclipse which followed me & Bitey on our walk and spent some time sniffing around his foo-foo valve*
As we walked up Madams Lane, the eclipse made it's way across the field parallel to us. The landowner has put up 'Private Land - No public right of way' signs, but they obviously don't apply to celestial phenomena.
At the base of Skylark Hill the eclipse, having made its way over the trees, descends towards Bitey.
Fortunately, it stayed out of range while Bitey relieved himself.
After ascending into the sky for a bit...
... the eclipse decided to check out Bitey's foo-foo valve.
I mean really check it out.
Bitey remained oblivious, though.
Having had its fill of foo-foo...
... the eclipse headed off towards the allotments.
You can find out more about the foo-foo valve at the Urban Dictionary, Reddit, and at SeniorForums' Illustrated History of the Foofoo Valve. Or just ask Dinah.
In other news, it is my nephew's birthday today, so I'll be celebrating with him and our family this afternoon. Happy birthday Count Podgkinson!
