It looks cloudy where I live, but being in the big city and all the light pollution is not the best place to see stellar events.

have fun ditty 

last couple of years its been a bit crap Baz...    either thick cloud or full moon (which makes them harder to see)... 

there was a fab one a few years back...   all the right conditions...     Ickle & I stayed in the back garden most of the night, on sun loungers, drinking lager, watching them 

Will just be the normal family midnight walk this year though...  cos we don't have any lager in the house & I am not feeling in an all nighter kinda mood 

I thought about you when I heard about it today  

I'm trying to decide whether it's worth a trip out. Every year we try we seem to see bugger all. 

I'm not runnin outside with my phone! LOL! 

we're lucky..   though there is lots of light pollution actually in our village...   we don't have to go far to reach a good level of darkness 

ok, there's not a cloud over Cumbria...what time they hitting us? 

I'll try.   I am actually in my PJ's at the moment, and had thought I might not be bothered...    but I had a word with myself & I am going to throw my clothes back on & do it 

Bloomin cloudy here ! 

hahahahahaha

well..   apart from the clouds (which are quite thin with decent gaps in here)...   its meant to be a good year for them this year 

go oooon...  you know you want to! 

Hope you enjoy. I love looking at the stars. When I was younger me and a friend used to drive out near Ladybower Reservoir and do a bit of star gazing. He was a bit too into the theory that aliens are amongst us. Still a good mate though. Miss those trips.

well they should be doing their thing now..    they peak just before dawn tomorrow morning..  

but, they have been building up to tonight, and they should still be some tomorrow night & then lessen in frequency over next week

I need help...when does this half pissed women stagger out the door? 

I've just mentioned it to Duds.....seems like I have no choice now

It's cloudy at the moment though. 

Just been out to look - thick cloud

It's been clear all day - knew I'd put the mockers on it - I've got a bouncy castle for the boys tomorrow 

Now I have to try not to freak myself out that scary psycho badgers will be stalking us..... 

I dunno why...    but when we are up the orchards & its pitch black..    I fear an attack by psycho badgers 

If you're name wasn't tagged to that post I'd still have you on my short list  

Pam stop that, last time we mocked God, I had an earthquake, don't be jesting with Meteors...they could turn into meteorites and hit my bloody house  

Try it now then 

I'd say after the next two bottles.....and then film your attempts to get over the step.  

anytime between now & sunrise in the morning...      there will be more & more of them as the night goes on

thanks mate  

a sensible answer...thanks Ditty  

*Calls her daughter* 

Or.. open the door and fall out backwards - perfect position to view the show! ! 

just watch out for psycho badgers 

don't you bloody encourage her...she's all for sitting out in the garden now....this could be a trip to A&E 

gawd almighty, what a motley crew I've mixed with all these years....  

Flippineck! 

I'm off out for a drive to find a dark spot. Wish me luck! (In spotting them....and not getting arrested for loitering) 

Its a year since my last visit...they must think I'm over the addiction 

Psycho badger ..Qu'est-ce que c'est ! 

not a good look for deputy head...be good and stay away from doggers    Happy star gazing Ducky
