Staying ‘Up Over’ for a while.
There and back again.
So....for the third time in four weeks we have once again been to Brisbane. To cut a long story short, the 'Chi Udaka' show Ros booked last weekend was, she thought, on Friday and so Andrew booked tickets to a play on Saturday night called 'Straight White Men' at La Boite Theatre. It turned out that 'Chi Udaka' was actually on Saturday and so we were double booked. Luckily 'La Boite' Theatre let Andrew exchange the tickets from last weekend for this weekend and so back to Bris we went.It was well worth it. The play was funny, thought provoking and brilliantly acted and we loved it and we were glad that we didn't miss out on seeing it.We returned home today to discover that 'someone' has eaten Will's poppy in our absence.
Before it's demise.
Someone is dicing with death!
'Perseids'....or 'Of Shooting stars and shooting possums'.
So...last night was the best time to view the Perseid meteor shower apparently as the Earth passes through the debris left behind by the comet Swift-Tuttle. We set the alarm for 1.00 am but I had to attend to a call of Nature at 11.00 pm and saw a fantastic bright light streak across the sky. We still got up at 1.00am and Will startled something amongst his vegetables as he went out the back door. It turned out to be...
Looking guilty.
"If she eats my poppy I'll kill her!" He said.We stood in the cold by the 'chook' shed with Yudhishthira crowing, annoyingly, as he does throughout the night. We stood there for about 20 minutes and saw nothing before Will had had enough and went back to bed. I stayed out a bit longer trying to catch a shooting star with my new camera. I saw about 6 more but they were nothing like the one I had seen at 11.00. They were just ordinary 'bath night' shooting stars and the camera didn't pick them up.
