...do you want to know a sad fact?... I live only 3 kms from the 'James Tebbutt Observatory' and have never visited it?... it's always been one of those "I'll go and visit it one day" things on my 'to do' list and because it is so close I haven't done it yet... it was built in 1845... that'll change very soon methinks!... cheers.

When we were studying astronomy, that unfortunately coincided with my eyesight failing me
IE we were set all of these tasks, to see/find stuff up there, about age 13/14, when my myopia/astigmatism began
So, I thought I was too stupid to find things....it was very disheartening......later relieved to know it was my crap heritage/crap sight

...tomorrow I'm having a new lens put into my right eye due to Cataracts being hereditary in our family... both of my parents when they were alive and younger brother and sister just recently have had it done in the past and now it's my turn... I'm shitting razorblades to be truthful because I have a phobia about my eyes... not looking forward to it that's for sure... it involves a needle being stuck into my eye twice... it makes my blood curl just thinking about it... urgh!... cheers.
...so how can they confirm that star gazing record tomorrow night?... aaaah!... you have to turn up somewhere... I see now... cheers.

Oh Sticky, if it is any help, one of my besties has to have one of those eye injections every month or she will go blind
She seems to be fine with it, nothing too freaky she says
And I luckily have better sight now........as age has brought some longsight that seems to have balanced the myopia
I actually cannot wear the old myopia glasses, and can see better without them, it is weird

...I love getting up at all early hours of the night to watch Rocket launches Live at Nasa or wherever... I always find them to be exhilarating to watch the sheer power and force of the liftoff... my sweet darling wife thinks that I'm insane lol!... cheers.
...thanks for telling me that my dear kxk... I'm going to bed early tonight (whether I'll sleep or not is a different thing altogether of course) so I'll let you know hnow I went lol!... that's great news about your eyes though...
...haha!... Tim Minchen singing that Monty Python song with Brian lol!... brilliant!... cheers.
...speaking of which... cheers.
...jeez that would be great fun if you and you mate do it kxk... I hope that itt works out for you...
...goodnight to you too my friend... and... here's a little present for you... it's Professor Brian Cox and his outtakes of making his shows... it's a great video... it's good to see that he's as 'normal' as the rest of us underneath all of that super intelligence lol!... and... I'm loving the "a boy called Brian" song that goes through the video lol!... cheers.
...and... I find this interview of Brian's with Buzz Aldrin to be absolutely amazing... Brian has such a great interviewing technique... he brings out the hidden personality that we never usually see in people I believe... cheers.
