It's pretty much annual here too.....although the past few years it's been an annual cloud fest. 
Do you have a lot of light pollution where you are Xochi? We have to really pick our spot well. You can still see them, even if it's not completely dark, but it makes it a lot lot harder! You have to be looking just at the right spot....whereas if it's really dark you will spot them out of the corner of your eye.
yeah the last couple of years it has been rubbish...
this year is gooood!
They'll be about tomorrow night as well 
I might stay up a bit later and see if I can see some more from the garden. Duds will be up till dawn anyway. 
How can you have action where you are but I don't Ditty! Overcast here right now and the only lights I've spotted are from the effin' planes taking off from Heathrow!
you just have to be looking in the right direction at the right time... it can be ages between them...
the light pollution you have there may mean you don't see the smaller ones.. but the two biggies we saw I reckon even in the city you'd see it.
PATIENCE is the key 
I just realised there could be some degree of ambiguity about asking how you'd had action Ditty. 
Nevertheless, I can see shoite still so I'll wait for your pix to prove it happened in my manor!
they don't tend to hang around long enough for you to take a pic of them...
hell, I can't even manage to get a pic of the front end of the cat cos she is too fast for me... I don't stand a chance with a meteor
Duds tried to take pics.....I blame that for his lack of sightings.

the year Ickle & I stayed up all night in the garden was fab... they really did get quite frequent & impressive as it started heading towards dawn...
I seem to remember we got through a lot of beers and talked a lot of shit that night
The worst paps going then. Thanks and don't wait for your royalty!
yeah... I'd be crap as a pap!
oooh.. not bad as a poet though

Erm. No. But it isn't necessary to scan in modern poetry. 
Ditty isn't a poet.
But she is a character of stature.
One wants to aspire to her status.
But there are other matters to consider.
And therein lies a tale.
Consuela couldn't see anything from the veranda but I hope you all had happy meteor sightings
I'm going to have one last little look....then I'm off to bed. Night Meteor Muppets 
Consuela couldn't see anything from the veranda but I hope you all had happy meteor sightings
So glad you had a servant who saw this heavenly miracle. It must have been so much better from your part of the meantime.

She's not my servant. She is my grand daughter.

I doubt that'll stand up in court.

I am not on trial, so grand maternity is not a problem.

I'm not surprised! Nor do I!

Nippy sweetie are we?
Yay, thanks for starting this thread Ditty, I hadn't realised it was Perseids Meteor time! Will spend some time in the garden tonight and try to spot some!
I saw two little ones and a bigger one last night!! It was after the Olympic closing ceremony, it was a bit cloudy but with some clear patches in the sky. I got a few mosquito bites but the shooting stars were worth it!
Glad I saw some last night because it's looking thundery outside tonight, weird pinky light in the sky, the rain is coming.
