There's a partial solar eclipse reaching its maximum in about half an hour here. I've dusted off my old 2017 eclipse viewing glasses to have a look. Only 20% of the sun will be eclipsed, but it's still an excuse to stand in the carpark for a few minutes.

It's always been interesting that there seem to be so many blues and Motown type musicians who are/were blind. So much so that it's become a bit of a cliché.
If the Day of The Triffids ever does dawn at least the quality of the music won't suffer too much.
