No Show

Miss Six and I got very excited last week, with the prospect of observing a total lunar eclipse; the first of four total lunar eclipses in a row.


We decided to have an impromptu eclipse party so earlier in the day we made some decorations to hang in the trees.


Machine stitching held our 'flowers' together.


The above 'flower' was made from an autumn shoe catalog.


We collected some timber to have a small fire to cook some kebabs and to toast some marshmallows.








And waited for the moon.
It didn't show.
A full moon total eclipse and the moon didn't show.

No show number one.

The next day Little Miss Six and I spent the entire day cooking traditional Easter cakes for Easter Sunday.





And made little packs to hand out to family for our traditional Easter Sunday lunch.


The Easter Rabbit looked after some of our creations until they were needed.

I spent Saturday night preparing food to take to our lunch today.

Eight o'clock this morning, Mr Honey Pie says he doesn't feel well.
Very soon, the paramedics are at the house, followed by the ambulance and Mr arrives at emergency by nine.

The Easter Rabbit for some mysterious reason doesn't arrive at our house today.

No show number two.

And since Mr Honey Pie isn't discharged from emergency until after four this afternoon, we don't get to our family lunch.

No show number three.


I sincerely hope your day was much more enjoyable than ours.

Thankfully, Mr Honey Pie, although still not feeling well, is not seriously ill, and we're hoping that his symptoms are nothing more than the beginnings of a viral infection.

Partial Solar Eclipse


Australia is  experiencing the partial solar eclipse known as the ring of fire.
I'm not one for solar photography so apologies for the photo.
I also  have to admit, we are not in one of the better places to view the eclipse.

Some better ones can be seen here

Total Lunar Eclipse - Eastern Australia


In our part of the world it's been raining steadily since Saturday, yet, the clouds parted long enough at five this morning, to allow the viewing of the total eclipse of the moon.
I was lucky to see this spectacular sight, because I managed to get to bed early enough last night to be able to get out of bed at half past four.
Hope you like the photographs!  They are not best quality as I did not use a tripod!  
Happy Full Moon Lunar Eclipse to you all!!!
(I'm going back to bed as I'm suffering from a heavy chest cold and probably shouldn't have been out in ten degree centigrade temperatures.)
