Ecliptic struggles



I'm at home today, 'nursing' Jakob and Filip who've been coughing their little lungs out these past few days...

Which gave us the chance to see the not-quite-total eclipse of the sun this morning. Fascinating!

The struggles were in preparation, as I learned how hard wine bottles really are... Figuring coloured glass would provide the necessary protection watching the sun, I decided to break a bottle (no, it wasn't full, I'm not the one who's ill..) - and even with a rolling pin and a lot of inbuilt aggression it took quite an effort to smash it.. I did even wrap it in 3 plastic bags before breaking it. Feeling pretty smart today ;)

great photo... can you teach me how to do that? Now you can consider yourself an "educational site" due to the photo!

I'm sorry to disappoint you, "d" - if I said I 'took' this photo I meant like in the film Airplane - I stole it (from a newspaper reporting about the eclipse).
- But I'll try to be educational in other respects ;)
