MISSED IT*

* No doubt the 'wit' from Wainuiomata would have written that as 'Miss Tit'.

Oh well, he's getting there - halfway now.

The moon eclipse was yesterday and I missed it as I was unaware of the event. It's a pity as I was awake watching world cup rugby highlights on my iPad but hadn't yet opened the bedroom curtains.

Someone else from McLeod Bay where I live was up and about though and took and posted this photo on Facebook:




The next blood moon, visible from New Zealand, will be late in the evening on March 3, 2026. I guess I'll be in Wellington to see that. Maybe Richard will have fully qualified as a wit by then.

You should drink wit tea.

So it was being witless that made you not witness the eclipse?

I could do without comments like that.

Mind you. I’m used to the witterings from the other bloggers.

Did you get up early to use the office?

THE CURMUDGEON said...

Yes but I’ll have to withdraw from within when Lynn decides to use it.
