    Couldn't see anything - except what it looks like at 5.30pm out the window. :(

      Clear skies, sun in right direction - and by heck the temperature in the back garden dropped quickly, even in our ~90% band. Herself watched it on TV "because the coverage was better" :sigh:

      Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

        We also experienced the temperature drop (I am in the 68% band). People who came out regularly also said it went a bit darker.

            Not a cloud in the sky, but only 62% here. Not really spectacular.

            The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
            This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

              Got a good view - cloud cover was just enough for it to come through. Flippin' cold and the birds have gone quiet. Have some flowers (weeds!) in the garden that close up at night and they're shut tight

                Not really. While it was clear and frosty in the morning clouds appeared meanwhile.

                  Our office has one wall which is essentially a massive window. I sit right in front of that window. It gave me a perfect view of FA. My colleague was wearing a Welding Mask. Quite a surreal experience really.

                                          Just cloud here in 85% land. In 1999, I went down to Cornwall to experience totality and it was totally cloudy then, too.
