I looked out this morning....

...and the sun was gone,
   Turned on some music to start my day,
       I lost myself in a familiar song,
             I closed my eyes and I slipped away.
         More Than A Feeling, Boston

And so it was.  Sun.  Gone.  Foggy fog had come along.  So I went back to bed for a while.  Finally getting to site.

0700 - 0900 Foggy.  Visibility very poor, improving to poor.  Chilly.

No count.

The suns disc was visible for about a minute at around 0815.  And poked through at around 0920 by which time I was at home having a cup of tea.

So I went for a feel around the pits in the murk.  And, mostly, a listen.  With an occasional look.  So.  What was there...
