spent the last two nights looking in vain for any signs of auroral activity courtesy of the sun increasing its activity and throwing coronal mass ejections our way. most likely we'll be out on a bivvy tonight doing more of the same. that said we're aware that what we'll be seeing this far south is not what we'd expect where we used to live. which is why if i can put enough money by we'll be off up the arctic circle this time next year for the predicted solar maximum. why so, you ask? for something like this....

talking of skies all five naked eye planets should still be up in the sky at the same time (tho mercury might be tricky). jupiter and venus have been particularly pretty this last wee while

Speaking of what's in the skies I watched "Melancholia" last night... have you seen it? I liked bits. M didn't make it past the half-time whistle...

hope you're lucky, if not i'm sure you'll have a lovely night anyway :)
it's clouding over as we speak. gah!
melancholia? on paper it should be right up my street but i just can't bring myself to like any of von trier's films. plus, while i've heard good things about kirsten dunst, all of my recent experiences of her have been about as exciting as watching dough rise. not for me ithink.
i watched murderball the other night. thumbs up from the pair of us.
the sky here was rubbish too, not a twinkle of anything
Yes, I was really looking forward to it (end of the world? yummy...) and I read a really interesting interview with him about it... but the film? it felt a bit arthouse by numbers (with some Hollywood names thrown in). Kiefer is good in it but the women characters feel strained/tiresome. No, they're just tiresome really.
I didn't hate it like I hated "Dogville" though...

ah yes, dogville. now that was proper dislike! and breaking the waves. and manderlay. and, and...!
no lights last night but clear sky and brilliant stars
