It’s been ages since the previous post but that’s because nothing has happened. The weather continues to be utter shit and I have done no observing. What clear skies there have been have been spoiled by fog or the full Moon.

I am fed up with this and am this >-< close to saying ‘fuck it’, packing it in and selling my stuff. My interest is at an all-time low thanks to the crap weather and encroaching light pollution and, if I had the money and means to do so, I would emigrate.

The summer was dreadful, apart from 8 days in May, a few nice days in June or July and the first week of September when we did get some good weather and reasonable temperatures. It’s rained almost constantly and, because the ground is saturated, there’s a lot of moisture when it does clear.

Oh, and I am now redundant, with not much else in prospect, which doesn’t help.
