Right. Apologies to Uncle but here's probably the best place to post  :thumbsup:

Friends in Oz are in the direct path of the Solar Eclipse - they plan on getting up at early o'clock tomorrow to view it, notwithstanding cloud cover  ::)
Early o'clock tomorrow, Oz time is around 7:45 tonight in the UK ... soooooo...

Watch it on a live stream tonight  ;D   ... and I was there in 2010  cloud9:   

Like the Buddhist said to the hot dog vendor...
