Today started off brilliantly, with a fascinating view of the eclipse. I set up a telescope in the back garden, and projected the image onto a piece of paper. There was quite a lot of cloud, so the image on the paper kept coming and going, but I managed to get a photo for the memory of the occasion. I felt that the bird life quietened down a little, but I had expected it to go a little darker than it did.
I was also delighted to receive a grant today from the Roger and Miriam Pilkington Charitable Trust, which gets me another step closer to Peru - Thank you.
Yesterday and today I have been doing my part time job, and I am also still working on various art projects (in the picture, I am working in charcoal), which I hope will generate further funds.
