Shooting Stars

I read in the local paper that it might be possible to see shooting stars between midnight and dawn, so I took up my position on the balcony around five past twelve. I don't remember seeing them before, even though Brian insists that I have. Anyway, I got my wish as twenty minutes later I saw one! Pretty brilliant.

I stuck it out for another half an hour or so but didn't see anymore. My neck needed a rest too!

It seems that they will be in action for the next couple of nights. Wednesday's will probably be eclipsed by the annual firework display in the nearby village of Alcala. I can definitely see that from my balcony!
