We’ve been looking forward to today for ages. K in particular was extremely excited to think about being able to see a rare astronomical phenomenonenon. We got a first look when the sky cleared just after 9am, but then it clouded up again completely and as we drove north to Glen Huon for HNL meet it looked very unlikely that we would get to see anything. This is what it looked like for most of the morning.

Fortunately the sun came out again, at least intermittently, by about 1pm. It was good to get that sense of movement, having seen it first when Venus had just started crossing the disk of the sun and then again when it was moving towards the edge.

With four pairs of glasses to go around, pretty much everyone got to have a look.
