My Year of the Life of Leisure

I left my job, left my apartment, sold most everything in that apartment and embarked on a year of travelling and leisure. I am working on writing a couple of books. This might be one of them... But then, my chief pursuit is leisure, so who knows exactly what will happen.

Lunar eclipse

Last night I saw my first lunar eclipse. When I went out for a pre-dinner walk with a couple others (that, after my massive walk earlier in the day -- even after a siesta, my muscles are still a trifle sore), the moon look like it was starting to be erased. That was 8pm-ish.

Post-dinner, the moon was maybe 1/3 in shadow.

Post-tea, the moon was 95% in shadow. I went and worked on my homework, before the temptation to watch was too strong. The eclipse was full at about midnight and started to fade at 12.30am.

I took a couple pictures. I haven't downloaded them, but if one turns out well I will post it for you.

Still tired. Though, now I need to find some dinner.
