- hi, if there's anyone still out there in the pratchettian part
of newsgroupworld; despite the weather changing every day
but two of the last fifteen, there've been no clear night skies
of late, here in the english north-wet :-((

- so; has anyone out there seen aught of this season's meteor
shower? - _any_ ''strange lights in the sky'' *_at_*_all_?_*

- yesterday evening's sunset was suitably garish in colour-
bright pinks, and some oranges, in the clouds - but after all
is said & done, that's only a forn gustatory har*binge*r -

- ''pink sky at night - turkish delight!''

- love, a ppint. looking forwards to hogswatch eve
