Well, I didn't get to see the eclipse this evening because dinner was on the table and there was a big tree in the way, but I gather it was much like previous eclipses, of which I've seen a few.

I did do a quick search on my blog in case I'd written about them before, and found a somewhat-related post from 2009, which I had forgotten. I'll re-post it here in tribute to a certain Ms Gaynor Hopkins, better known as Bonnie Tyler...
