#mercurytransit picture #fail – didn’t work as planned but James enjoyed it. Only minor adult eye damage by my #pooruseofwrongequipement

ermm…  didn’t quite get the resolution I was hoping for but I’m sure there’s part of a pixel there that’s mercury.  James enjoyed using the telescope (the Great!) Uncle Fred bought him.

NB – we were very careful not to look directly at the sun or at it through the telescope without the filter.  However I did burn a small hole in the eclipse sun filter specs due to not thinking carefully enough.

George’s first scooter competition, @ScootSportGB & ISA Euro qualifier event @RushSkatePark @gritscootersUK #proudparent #longday

In front of 200+ people, scooter riders and parents, George showed-off his scooter riding. It was brilliant to watch and we’ll be back for the next event hoping, with some practice George can beat his score.

[Technically George was second to last as the 6th entrant in the U8 category didn’t ride, (queue: song “The only way is up”: fade in to full volume)]
