Unfortunately it's too cloudy here for me to see much - and I can't see the sun from my office anyway. And the NASA website has gone down from the sheer volume of people trying to watch it online. :-/

Has been nice and clear here in Wimbledon for the past hour - maybe it'll be clear there before the eclipse ends? *hopefulsmile*

Gah. We can't see it here in Sheffield - way too cloudy... :(

*sends the clear skies your way*

Indeed. Don't worry, though - it'll grow back. One thing I've noticed from these occasions is that the Sun has remarkable recuperative powers.

Yep, it does always come back. You've just remineded me of an obscure sci-fi book i read as a child where some evil giants kidnapped the sun during a total solar eclipse, so that it didn't come back.

That's odd. The times on my comments page seem to have all gone relative. They didn't do that before. When did that happen? *confused*

The sun has been missing here too, but only because its lost behind the clouds : (

Was it ever out from the clouds in Manchester.

From what I remember of Manchester and Stockport as a kid you could see the raincloud hovering over the place as you got near on the M6!

Doh, wondered why it was so dark and miserable this morning - I just thought it was a standard october monday.

Don't goths like dark and miserable? ;)

I was just a bit surprised it had crept up on me so quick....
