I saw Mars last night.
Good to see you back, Moonie.
It's quite overcast again, but the moon is shining brightly through a wee hole in the clouds.

I ate a mars last night 
Marathon!!!!
Who cares if it aint a star 
Mars is slightly to the right of the moon tonight.
Moonie's nibbling hasn't done too much damage.
I've been in the back garden (kitchen light and outside light switched off) and can see the moon and Mars and what I think is Regulus. There's a lot of cloud about tonight.

If you are seeing a star that is to the right and slightly higher than Mars then it will be Regulus.

Do I have to go out the front in my jammies again?
Venus is there and so is Aldebaran.
I can still only see Venus. The cloud must be a bit more broken over your way. 
There's a HUGE moon outside our window! It's a clear night too
HOLD ON A COCKER DOODLE MOMENT HERE !!!
The moon was in the west yesterday
Tonight its in a completely different place!!!
The SOUTH 
Got a big moon in my bit of sky but can't see anything else.

Renton, I think the moon is South East tonight.

How?
At the same time each night the moon will be a bit left of where it was the previous night. thus it gradually moves from west to south-west to south to south-east to east....and so on until it is in the west again and it all starts over again.
its like, "Where was it yesterday?"
"I dunno"
"Oh ... erm - put it over there then"
And I notice!!!

You mean that it moves all that way in ONE night?

The moon orbits the earth in approximately 28 days - hence the term 'lunar month'.

I knew that you would clear up Renton's mystery of the moving moon.

Well, not quite as much as all the way from East to South, but a significant distance. Approximately 12.875 degrees.
