massive meteorite shower
I meant 22.56. Sorry. Too much champagne.

I saw it from my window around 23.56 BST travelling slowly from E to W
in the S. It was amazing, travelling slowly for 20 seconds or so across
the sky.
By a long way the best meteorite I've ever seen, if not the best thing
I've ever seen. It was so striking I feared it was a plane or something
coming down, so relieved to find out it's not.
