I was ready to write it off as an over hyped waste of time....... until...... someone we were stood by leant us some glasses......
The glasses made it a lot more impressive....but.... it still wasn't as good as the last one....
I'll wait for the next one..............😂😂😂

Was it billed as a total eclipse? That just simply didn't happen here

Wasn't billed as a total in the UK .... was interesting to watch (We always use the old rectangular welder's glass from pre-auto masks... cheap as chips and works perfectly) .... but never going to get dark ... it was about 95% in the UK ... even 99% is just like a dull winter day .... not til that last 0.5% disappears that the magic happens.
Eclipses were a bit of a thing for me for a while ... have seen 3 total eclipses (South-Coast UK in 1999 ... Antalya, Turkey ... and Wyoming, US) .... Total on a clear-sky day is a truly special thing.
Actually had a fine viewing yesterday .. sat on a cliff with some pals ... talking rubbish and watching the moon eat the sun was a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours on a balmy evening 🙂

As you say totality is amazing. I can see why you chased a few
