Owww……

…… I ache all over. As in, really really ache.  As in – struggled to get up and down stairs, in and out of the car, sitting down, standing up and all activities that involve moving generally.  Yep – I monstered the Bards Guild LRP event.  It was thoroughly enjoyable with good company and lots of running around.  One kind soul (in some random conversation) assumed I was 27/28.  Hahahaha.  I felt about 98 this morning, and things haven’t really improved.  I’m assuming his judgement error was based on the fact that I was wearing armour and made up to look like a zombie.

Although my zombieness did not involve cocktails.  Wish it had. Appletinis……mm. I was mostly holding a sword and falling over (a lot). And getting battered by players.  All good fun.  And whilst having a break and a coffee outside, several of us were standing looking at the beautiful clear night’s sky when we saw the most amazing thing – a huge ball of fire streaking across the sky.  It seemed enormous (and heading for Leicester) and we all assumed it was a sattelite burning up in the atmosphere.  When I looked at the news earlier today, the BBC commented on it: stating that the Met office believe it was a meteorite.  Whatever it was, we all stood around open-mouthed for a while.  it was spectacular.

Explore the stars…….

….strange new worlds, new galaxies.  Ever wanted to?  I have, and whilst I was listening to R4′s Click On on the way home, I found out about this.  Galaxy Zoo 2 – come and help identify and classify galaxies.  How cool is that?!
