Well, that was a big evening here in the UK, eh? I didn't really realise there was a solar eclipse coming until a couple of days ago, when I was suddenly inundated with stories about how impossible it would be to find some viewing glasses, which was a pretty worrying start.
With vague memories of the 1999 eclipse when I was six years old, and the lengthy buildup of pinhole camera construction, I decided to just accept my fate yesterday and head to my local hill with sunnies in tow and the commitment to potentially go blind by catching glimpses of the sun despite the official advice.
