Watching women’s football reminds me of when I was learning the controls for FIFA.

Well as the European space station notifications where well received on this thread, I thought I would let those that don't know that 27th April is the second Super Moon of this quarter, the moon will appear 14% larger in our view due to the orbit around us being at its Perigee, some 360,000km from us instead of its Apogee of 406,000km, its called the Super Pink Moon, the Super Moon on the 26th May is called the Super Flower Moon.

Hope you all had a good look at the Super Moon, came over the horizon a nice Pink shade as it got higher it turned its normal white and very bright.

I was looking forward to it, but unfortunately the sky was clouded over.

Nice and clear in our part of Kent, I used my Opticron Oregon WA 10x50 on a monopod to view, always surprised at how good the binoculars are, they where awarded 4.5 stars out of 5 by "Sky at Night" magazine.

4.5 stars and half a moon?

Interesting afternoon, I live on a very narrow country lane, however sitting in the garden this afternoon, heard a car approaching at what sounded like a very reckless speed as It went past I just caught a glimpse of a white car, about 20 seconds later a very loud bang, Oh I thought someone's hit the tree on the bottom corner again, so went to have a look and sure enough car completely demolished and driver screaming his head off, air bags deployed and driver laying across both front seats, obviously had not been wearing a seat belt, looking him over it looked to me that he had dislocated or broken a hip and his knee on the other leg, called the emergency services and tried to comfort the driver, does anyone know if the talcum powder inside the air bags smells like alcohol, in all there about two hours giving statement to the police, could not believe the questions they asked, for instance, "Would I be prepared to stand by my statement in a child protection court hearing" I asked why and was told, divorce proceeding my ensue and child custody may be an issue, who'd of though that.
