Default Perseids and weather, Peterhead

A warm and clear night with a nice starry sky and a gentle breeze.

Spent too much time looking at the sky from 2300 to 0000 with the net
result of seeing one 'shooting star'.
That makes two I've seen in my entire life time and both since living here.

Now, we shall sleep.

I knew the Triffids were real when I saw the signs

I planned to go up the Braes of Enzie at 11 pm. At 10 pm the sky
was totally overcast. So I accepted a glass of wine from my
neighbour.

At 11 the sky was beginning to clear. I have to make do with the
rather restricted view from my garden sun-lounger rather than
the panoramic view from the Braes

However I did see two meteors. Having also seen the Loch Ness
one in April, that makes my tally three this year.

This morning there's not a cloud in sight.

Three in a year ?!?
Good thing it isn't a contest ... next year, we'll stay up all night
(blatant untruth).
I think Craigewan would be a good spot but the back garden won the day
for us too (but not because of an earlier Pimms, just idleness).
