Got nada here. Next time I move, I'm moving closer to the Sun so I can be ready for these things.

Was chasing a cunt of a chicken round that had escaped from the run. Thought it was a particularly turdish cloud. Oh well.

I have shown this on another thread, but what the hell.

Here in northern New Zealand, we had a 90% eclipse, which I viewed by projecting the image through binoculars. Much safer and easier on the eyes.

I took this photo by simply snapping the image on my screen.
