I sat down on the balcony mostly to cool off. 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.  When its really hot keeping up with exercise to stop my body seizing up to much is also a bit of  chore. And we stil have a very high pollen count as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This week it&#8217;s mostly practicing learning new band material. As i write it&#8217;s over cast and dull after several days of very hot and very bright sunshine. The temperature has gone from 33C to 21C in a day. I am very glad it is cooler but brighter would be nice though.<br><br>Today&#8217;s record in a day proggy effort.
