Saw something surprising yesterday during an incredible wind storm......my grandson's trampoline, which is one of those enormous things surrounded by netting, was somersaulting across the garden. It came to rest against the fence long enough for my son and I to grab it. I had quite a job to hold it while he anchored it with a wheelbarrow of hardcore which luckily was sitting nearby! I think the family thought I was mad as I went rushing downstairs shouting "the bouncy thing!" (I couldn't think of the word trampoline). What a coincidence that I happened to look out of the window at the precise moment that it took off!!
Up here in the summertime. I've still seen a glow in the western sky at 1:30 in the morning!
BTW. Yesterday when I was out shopping in Stirling. There was a huge rainbow ring around the sun. Seen that on several occasions.
BTW. I'm viewing it through 4 layers of old film negatives. A technique I've used before, with no problems.
