Very very impressed with Mr Mowbray's astro-photography. I have fond memories of standing in his garage for weeks on end grinding an 8 inch telescope mirror. I look forward to seeing images from his own setup.
BTW Have you watched 'Blink' yet?
Oh yes, and I hope the rumour that Sir Ben Kingsley is to play Davros in the next series is true. That'll be bloody wonderful.
I was happy with my performance at the interview yesterday. it would be the perfect first job back if it wasn't so sodding far away. It's about 100km from our house and it's on the wrong side of the Pennines. If they offer it to me, it'll mean 3+ hours of commuting each day, and possibly one or two days away each week. Still, very good money.
We'll see if they offer me the job first before I get worried about the journey.
One bright point was the journey home across the 'Cat & Fiddle' pass. Even in the pouring rain it is a magnificent drive, and taking the RX-8 across it was pure driving joy. You never get to go very fast, but it is steep with tight turns and murderous cambers. In wet, greasy conditions my cars limited slip diff and traction control really made what would have been a tricky drive one of unadluterated fun. It was like driving an insanely powerful go-cart. My lunch at the 'Cat & Fiddle' was welcome, pricey and quite nice.
If your doing the trip in a wankel engined car, I just have one piece of advice, turn your radio off, the engine noise is just bleeding glorious.
