Madness
I am going to try to get up at 4am tomorrow to view a total lunar eclipse. Neato, eh? Thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
xauenmurph for alerting me to it.
I suspect I will only catch the end of it. This is because it will get light, and the moon will set, and I don't know where there is a good place for me to see the western horizon at 4am. Sunrise is at 5.09am (argh). Anyway it might be cloudy in which case I will sit inside in the warm and watch it online.
The next one which will be visible from England will be November 9th.
Part of me wants to try to stay up instead but as I was up at 6 this morning and I am already yawning muchly, I think it would be a bad idea.

Love you Madly,
