alt_sinistraIt looks to remain clear tonight, so if anyone would like to join me for some relaxed star gazing on the Astronomy tower, I’ll be up there after supper until curfew.
There’s a particularly good chance to see a half dozen of the brightest objects in the sky at once this week, during the first hour after sunset, and the crescent moon makes for good stargazing in general.

Date: 2012-02-26 06:06 pm (UTC)I think everyone is still sorting out things. But the star gazing sounds like it will be lovely, and a nice distraction, which is something we all
needwould enjoy. I'll be there.Thank you for passing along what you did. I appreciate it.

On passing things along, well. I'm glad I could answer Sally-Anne's questions.

Private message to Poppy and Pomona
Date: 2012-02-26 06:15 pm (UTC)Poppy, were you horribly overwhelmed last night? I know a number of students were listening on the wireless, though that was much better than being there.
Re: Private message to Poppy and Pomona
Date: 2012-02-26 09:26 pm (UTC)Things are quiet now, though I expect they will pick up again tonight. Thank you for extending yourself to the students with your offer for this evening: that's Healer's work, as well.
Re: Private message to Poppy and Pomona
Date: 2012-02-26 09:30 pm (UTC)As to tonight, well. It seemed the thing. I know it will steady me, and the responses so far make it clear that I'm not the only one.
Yesterday was - I don't even have the words. And knowing that students were listening (Miss Perks carefully asked me some questions that made that clear) was even worse.
