Back on topic (ahem). Just got up to see if the Northern Lights (offshoot of the solar storm) were switched on. Can't see a thing. Total cloud cover here. Sod's Law eh?
Looks like all the electrickery stuff and electronicrap gismos are still working OK.
Has anyone heard of anything actually being interupted/damaged by the storm ? It seems to have dropped off the news now. The BBC World Service hasn't mentioned it at all during the wee small hours.
Back to the pit........... Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Back to the pit........... Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. As mentioned in yesterday's post at 6.20pm, my mobile had been flashing almost continuously for the previous two hours. It was still doing so at 6.50pm when I went out, but was put in my bag. I suppose some might have taken that particular post as banter,as there was a lot of banter at the time, by many peeps, but it wasn't. Don't know if that counts as part of your enquiry Pinz.

Well said Jase Sorry Rude, did I upset you too? Thought the topic had really petered-out by that time and there had been a lot of banter all day, in most of the previous 4 pages of posts. Anyway I'll be gagged and back in my bath chair by 10pm tonight, to avoid a reocurrence.

Watching the lunchtime news, they showed pictures of the Northern Lights in what looked like normal daylight conditions. Don't know exactly what time the images on telly were taken but reading up on it, it is apparently possible for the Northern Lights to be seen during the daytime (but it's rare). Sorry Lightning, I take back my 'wobbly rainbow' remark!

That pillock Fred said they might show tonight, no sign up to now. At least I have been lucky enough to have seen them, if you do they will fill you with wonderment. No wonder the ancients used to think there were gods up there doing stuff. Maybe we're not far enough north.

Don't think the bright moon is helping matters, Bandy. It'll probably bleach out the Northern Lights.
Well worth looking out for though.
