Then as if by magic a really bright one went by almost horizontally and exploded in a bright flash. I can&#8217;t tell you all how pleased this made me feel that I have finally managed to  see one. We also have had the Aurora which I may have seen a faint glimpse of though it could just be my dodgy ageing eyes.

And we stil have a very high pollen count as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This week it&#8217;s mostly practicing learning new band material.
