Anyone skipping this eclipse thing then?

[hotmumshit]

Didnt know it was happening until yesterday

Broke until payday - cannot buy the glasses

Autistic 7yo will not understand nor care

Will just stick it on the telly and call it a day

Have LOVED saying 'full moon, half moon, total eclipse' to myself though 😄😩

My cat has been hot and inside too. Tomorrow will be hell for her.

Did the chickens do anything? 👀

There are people crying on the TV? They got emotional?
It was all just a bit shit really in my corner of the east midlands.

😄😄 whos husband is crying on on tv over the moon, own up?!

Sorry, a bit late. No, the pinhole let's the light through and forms and image at the back of the box, and you view it in the window around 5cm*5cm that you cut on the right side of the box

That would be a reasonable summary.

Why do people scream when watching an eclipse? It is really annoying.

My boyfriend is on holiday in the Lake District and the photo was gorgeous. Looked like it came from a Halloween movie.

Me in Kent and while there were no clouds, the sky only went a slightly darker shade of blue. Just looked like how it normally does before it starts to go dark.

Probably after they realised the money they had spent on eclipse glasses.

People love all this. I said to dh we should go to Gib next year to see one and was met by ‘ meh ‘

He doesn’t want to renew our vows under a total eclipse of the sun. Or pay for it

Yay, a quick redo and we managed it. Have been like a bunch of nerds pottering abround the garden, chatting to the neighbours (sporting the collander method) and then wandering up the road outside for better sun… it was almost like the clap for the NHS nights during covid, only new neighbours and old mingling with their pinhole cameras LOL

Very good 🤣👏

What do you mean by skip? The sun is everywhere, you can hardly stick your head out of the window and shout "not today, thank you" in the general direction of the sun.

Anyway, never mind eclipse, I just went outside to find a hummingbird hawkmoth in my garden 😁

(Good job I checked before posting, I accidentally wrote bummingbird 😂)

Clap for the sun and the moon. At least they do their thing each time and don’t worry about the consequences of their actions.

Who said romance is dead ?

Underwhelming here in SE, not helped by having no special glasses so we just experienced feeling like it was about to rain for 5 minutes. Just watched the view from Spain on telly, that looked amazing!

Gas panic, my dh ! He said it’s all a non event. Not sure if he was expecting fireworks , but he was unimpressed all round. I like the fact it was colder

There was quite a gathering outside our house we kept passing the one pair of glasses round and we could see it well on DH camera with zoom and solar filter

I think it’s amazing myself.
Even if the colender didn’t work that well. Lol

Barcelona and Palma de Mallorca had total eclipses

Ah well I dutifully closed all the curtains / blinds on the sun's side of the house, just incase - why would I not be responsible for my cats' eyes :)

and walked the dogs up the local field - the sun was behind some trees and if it's happened it's happened never got dark here it's just like an early sunset...

I suppose there will be wonderful photos on social media later...

It’s a celestial event. Dh sat there as if England had lost the world cup 3/0.

Now , bring on the rain !

Cloudy here so just seemed like it was about to rain...

I didn’t have any glasses and couldn’t be arsed to fanny about making some cardboard thingymajig.

Plus I’d taken my bra off and couldn’t be bothered to put it back on to go outside.
