You'll be blind by bed time

Yep, I did.

I kept accidentally looking out the window every time one of my DC was using the pinhole camera I made. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Mossstitch · 12/08/2026 19:21

I confess to opening my shutters expecting it to be partially dark and got blinded by what appeared to be full sun (faces west) ..........closed blinds again quickly but now seeing blobs in my eyes like when you accidentally look at a light bulb 🤦‍♀️

SchnitzelAgain · 12/08/2026 19:21

Didn’t peek

I did a few times… it was a bit underwhelming to be honest. Maybe it would have been better with the specs

RaraRachael · 12/08/2026 19:22

Nothing to see here

AutisticMumOf2 · 12/08/2026 19:22

I did my eyes are hurting for it.

hotmumshit · 12/08/2026 19:22

😄 👀👀

malloryknox123 · 12/08/2026 19:23

Only for a second

Cathmawr · 12/08/2026 19:23

It was an irresistible temptation. Glad I'm not alone

p0pple · 12/08/2026 19:26

I accidentally looked at it for about 2 seconds and now my eyes are sore ☹️ guess who’s spiralling!

savvy7 · 12/08/2026 19:26

Only trying to line up the card and the colander. What a disappointment in any case and the birds are still tweeting round here!

Me. Ow. Seeing bright spots now, whoops!

IlikethoseBalenciagas · 12/08/2026 19:30

Well, no. I had glasses. Even then I didn't look through them until it was really covered.

forthelasttim · 12/08/2026 19:30

Well I looked in 1999 and again just now. As underwhelming as I remembered. 🙄

Noooo my eyes are in a bad enough state. I can’t be burning the retinas too and finding out about it in ten years

Lentilcakes · 12/08/2026 19:34

😂 wasn’t that exciting but I’m watching the Spain one on TV now and that’s amazing. I used the pinhole.
Told adult DS not to look as he’s viewing somewhere else - I dunno if he heeded my warning or not!

I’m sure you’re right, it was soooo bright though!
