    Fantastic view of Venus out West now. Nice night for viewing.

    Yep we spotted it aswell this evening. My little boy loves looking up what planets/stars he can see in the sky on phone app.

    Is that the really bright star in the South western sky.
    Often see it and it looks almost like an LED light on a clear night.

    a beautiful day for a walk, going to head out soon and enjoy the lovely weather and escape the news media for a few hours, that isn't doing any of us any good for more than 30 minutes a day at the moment.

    Gloriously sunny day here in Limk. Got to wash down my paving at the rear of the house and tidy some pots and prune a few shrubs. The normally busy road at my front is very quiet, eerily so, but relaxing in a strange sort of way.

    I haven't it clue it's on my husband phone but will find our for you. Its really cool. You have the app open then point it up into the sky(through window is fine) + it will tell you all the stars/planets in sky in front of you + you can move it around.

    Obviously we cant see them all but if you have a telescope that would be brilliant + you could see much more.

    Took this shot about 12.45 today back in the Maharees Co Kerry looking towards Brandon Pt probably a short time after the NASA Sat Pic below. Lovely day, sunny and cool in the NNE breeze until early afternoon.

    Weak front moving into cold air mass might give a bit of dusting to Mountain tops in the SW early morning and later in the W. Might fall as sleet on hills and higher ground .

    I agree, the weather has helped to lift the spirits alright.
    A pic below of Nephin and Bireen Corragh in the spring sunshine this afternoon. The day was nicely rounded off as some of the previous posters photos have shown by a beautiful splash of evening colour.

    Sounds like 'SkyView'. I have it on my phone and it's pretty cool.

    Properly cold out there today in that wind alright. Shame as it would be a great day if we had a bit of humidity.

    I'm just back from a walk and stuck the heating on full blast!

    I was over there that way last week. It really is a lovely spot. You picked a great place to live in!

    Я знаю, що ми будемо там
    Я знаю, що туман буде розсіюватися

    Нова точка, нова шкала.

    Я знаю, все не буде Це.

    Decided to do a bit of tree pruning in the garden earlier, managed to stay warm enough but definitely not a day for sitting around outside.
