Partial eclipse of the sun today

[Feltwell]

Nothing to do with old houses - but - the partial eclipse is happening right now.

I had a bright idea, got my welding mask out of the garage, makes looking straight at the sun perfectly safe & comfortable! It was really clear using that - the kids were fascinated - even if my youngest was asking why the sun was green......

I think it may be BJ flying back out wrapped in his Blunderman cape.

I saw a strange object flying through the sky, a trail of chaos behind it, it looked like a toffee apple that has been cut out of the hair of an Afghan hound.........

Provided its a rear view vanishing into the distance, and ignominy, I'll take and cherish it.

I won't post a link up as it's very, very rude - if you go on Youtube and look up "Boris Johnson: A Tribute" by Jonathan Pie, it'll make you swell with patriotic pride.

If you've not come across him, Jonathan Pie is a fictional political reporter who has been sacked for unintentionally broadcast, unguarded, supposed to be off-air commentary. Performed normally in one single long take by a comedian called Tom Walker, he *really* knows how to rant. "Bye Bye Boris" is also well worth a watch, recorded when Boris first resigned.

I'll take a look, but in the interests of impartiality I will be obliged to hunt for bashers of the others too - god, it's going to take hours.

I hold politicos, of all stripes, in nothing other than contempt, and have long campaigned to prevent all such groups from using the term 'Party' in their labels and associations. My rationale being that the term is mendacious and therefore misleading. Better, I think, and more accurate, to mandate they refer to themselves as 'flocks'.
