I can't see it Sweet

 

The bad rain has cleared to leave a nice night sky.

I see a big moon rising.

 

Aye I was just bent over picking up some toys when the OH mentioned the big moon.  I haven't seen it though.

our neighbour always called someone with a fat arse 'the dudley moon' dont know why

shit

just read your post, i wasnt referring to you!

 

hahaha

 

sorry,

lol

 

red face etc..

Hmmm 'Dudley Moon' .... a possible name change for me

aww, 

sorry that looked really rude what i posted, i never read the post above me!

but when we moved to brum a neighbour said a big moon was a dudley moon, i dont know what it means, so im off to google it

bollox,

i cant find what it means

Lol I knew someone would change its meaning along the line It's cloudy here at times, seeing the moon appear through the clouds looks very Halloween-esque!

I have no idea either....and no, you weren't rude at all

Is anyone else like me - always running a bit behind cos keep rewinding to check if I heard right? Takes me about three hours to watch an hour long programme

 

Rewind is great but ........I don't know if I'm coming or going at times 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ignore me ...........wrong thread 

Aye and it's going to be a 'Blue Moon' tomorrow night.........

Honestly though I can't see the moon where I am so I have no idea what size it appears to be tonight.

 

I will be reading your comment in about 20 minutes.

 

Obviously, you won't be reading mine until 12:45.

What is a blue moon?

No moon up here, Summer. I think it's hiding.

it's when there's two full moons in one calendar month sweet

second one's a "blue moon"

^thanks slinki Is it usually blue in colour then..?

Nope! Not sure why it's called a blue moon

It's a recurring full moon in a four week period, I think. How about just this:

 

Just wasn't sure why it's referred to as a blue moon rather than by any other name Cologne

It's called a blue moon because it only happens in a blue moon, but I still haven't managed to find the original expression for things happening in a blue moon.

OK, apparantly, blue in old English meant 'betrayer', so if the full moon came round twice instead of once, the ppl wouldn't have trusted it, hence the expression 'in a blue moon', it has happened tonight (31st August), but the weather is so bad in this part of Devon, I can't see the moon.

Aaaaaah, thank you cologne I saw it very clearly tonight, it was big again, and bright too

It has been very bright the last couple of nights.

 

I have to admit to winking at it and thinking of Neil Armstrong - something his family wished us to do by way of a remembrance...

 

A family statement concluded with a request: "For those who may ask what they can do to honor Neil, we have a simple request. Honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink."

Aw that's a lovely request! I'm going to do that next time I see the moon
