Yesterday was a day of rare occurrences. The one that was most widespread was a lunar eclipse. I love that sort of stuff, but was also really tired. Totality (the moon being completely covered) was supposed to start at 2:41AM local time, so rather than set the alarm I agreed with Liz that if one of us woke up during the eclipse we'd wake the other. I first woke up at 12:55 to see everything bathed in the glow of the full moon. Hadn't started yet, so I went back to bed. I later woke up at 3, and it was dark. "Awesome!" I thought as I walked downstairs. Unfortunately the darkness was because of the complete and total cloud cover that had engulfed the sky. I even went out the back for a few seconds (that was long enough in the cold) to check there weren't any breaks in the cloud. There weren't, so I came back inside. Liz was awake and asked me what the story was, so when I told her we both went back to sleep. I took this photo of the moon earlier in the evening, before it was eclipsed...
The second, more isolated incident, occurred in our kitchen. I was making breakfast, and I cracked an egg. Double yolker! Some people might not think that was too weird, but given the amount of eggs we use and the infrequency with which we see double yolkers it was certainly awesome.
Tonight I killed some time by taking some photos. It's good to get out and take photos for fun - something that I really should do more often. I didn't do it for too long tonight, the cold and the breeze were small obstacles. I took photos of the moon again, well, more things in front of the moon. They were of my Lego clone trooper captain.
The breeze blew it over...
