Watched contagion last night. unbelievable how similar some of the events in the film mirror what's been happening lately . I was eating a trifle just as they were examining Gwyneth Paltrow's character's brain.

Had a couple of friends over for a barbecue and drink yesterday. Bit of tidying up to do this morning

Sounds like it will get up tonight .

My garden is dry as a bone at the moment , its good excersise covering most if it with a watering can .

This peregrine landed about a 50 yards from me today with food. I took a photo and moved on leave it to finish its meal .

Great views and quiet up the wrekin early this morning but disappointing to see so much litter about . There was a fire up here yesterday, I bought the bottles down with me but there's sure to be lots more dotted about .

Last chance for clear views of the space station for a while tonight . 10.09 from the west .

This should be good tonight . Live at 9.33 and visible overhead just after 9 . 50 In uk.

Just watched the international space station going over

I could get used to this home camping

Seams.

Looking forward to trying my new tent out on a real campsite hopefully later this year. It seems good so far . Front and rear doors , taped seems , good waterproof rating and less than 80 pounds

Would have been camping at the coast tonight , but Telford on sea will have to do .

Space station is going over from the west at 10.55 tonight followed by a supply ship at 11.06

Cant beat a retro bit of ice cream on a hot day .

Bit of exercise up my local hill, the wrekin to start the day .

The international space station is in view at 10 .04 tonight . It seems to have turned into a small car in my photo though

Very clear going over tonight .

First time I've seen a hedgehog in my garden tonight
