Stand by, the sky is about to explode

gemfyreSo apparently the meteors last night were a bit of a dud, too much light and cloud, not enough meteors. I woke up at 5:30am and thought, "Oh well, I missed it." and went to the loo as usual. The sun was already well up.
And I'm increasingly glad that in 1998 we went out to Gingin for a night and watched the sky from a paddock out there. And boy did we see meteors. It was a spectacular, dark, cloudless night out there. Meanwhile Perth was suffering from thunderstorms - we could see the flashing clouds on the horizon, which just made the night even more spectacular.
