Eclipse

[Mydogisagentleman]

It's incessant.
Newspapers. TV and radio.
I know I'm miserable, but you wouldn't think anything else was happening in the world

So you started a thread on mumsnet about it too

Why make a thread to chat about it if you think it’s too much? Itl be over tonight, what a pointless thing to moan about.

It is a pretty big deal! We don’t often see them in the UK, especially at such a high proportion of coverage. Give it 24 hours and it’ll literally be yesterday’s news.

It’s a massive deal! I’m very excited about it.

The next one is not until 2090 so it’s my last one! I’m looking forward to it!

It is a fun thing to look out for. With clear skies and a good time of day, everyone will be watching

It’s the last one of our lifetime, it’s pretty special.

Point of the thread?

I think it makes a lovely change from war war war politicians doing terrible things more war. How nice to see people enthusiastic about science! My neighbourhood is having a wee eclipse party on the green

If I see another one I’ll be 101. My kids will be 82 and 73. We may never ever see this again.

its also nice to have something positive on the news!

Does anyone know if laser protection glasses will work the same as solar glasses?!

Yep, let’s get back to reporting on war, famine and corruption. Much more interesting.

Well I'm excited!

That was great! Had managed to get some proper glasses!

Used my husbands welding mask!
