We were cloudy this morning, so no sun sightings, but it did get eerily darker, and colder. Felt a bit like a major thunderstorm was on it's way.
The birds in the garden returned to the trees and were silent.
My cat got off his day/tv watching chair and went over to his bed at the foot of the sofa. Then when it brightened up again he looked out of the window and returned to his day chair!
I must go and see a complete total eclipse one of these days.
The next one is on March 9th 2016 (Sumatra, Borneo, Sulawesi) so I guess my cat will miss it.
