AT LAST!

Well, the news I've been itching to give you all is out. On 9th Feb my long awaited move to London will take place after a delay. Its been kept under wraps as I didn't want to tempt Fate by announcing it and it falling through. However it will mean that for a while I shall be offline until we get either a phone line sorted or cable connected. When that happens I will let you all know via a note on here...

I'm all excited now......

Important days...

If today, or at the latest tomorrow, goes to plan then I should have some news that I've been hoping to bring for at least a year and possibly longer, so come back here before the weekend (for those that visit here) or watch your inboxes, for those who receive the email and I will be able to reveal all (well, not completely, that would be shocking!).

If you look a bit lower to the posts below, you'll see a picture from a presentation that was made to me last year. Well, I managed to acquire a copy of the original digital image, and that's now the one you see - the other was a scan of a print, which didn't look great. Another image has come to light and I share it with you now. Not a great picture, but then I suppose they can't all be! But at least it has me, in focus and not trying to get out of frame either.

Another one...

Now that events are moving, and the move looks 95% certain for the end of the month, everyone is now wanting to tell me what a great person I am and so on. The latest one was before the holidays when the people at the Observatory decided to thank me for the help and work I'd done over the last year or two (don't understand, I never did any work!) I would just have been happy with a handshake and a few words of thanks and so on.

However, I was presented with a nice print of a favourite comet, a print which I helped to produce on the night it was taken. I shall remember it everytime I look at the print in the future, as much as I shall remember the people involved. Its been a bonus year, that I wasn't expecting to get, and I think I made the most of it down there at the observatory. I shall miss my nights down there with Paul, Allan and the rest of them, and it'll seem dull without them.
