Friday AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boy do the weeks come around fast. Seems like it was only yesterday that I was writing about Friday.

The weather has turned warm again, if you can call 7 degrees warm. Well it is half past eight in the evening.

Was incredible to see a newscast about a meteor coming down in Russia. It must have been very very scary.

The meteor - estimated to be about 10 tons - entered the Earth's atmosphere at a hypersonic speed of at least 54,000 kph and shattered into pieces about 30-50 kilometres above the ground, the Russian Academy of Sciences said in a statement. Amateur video showed an object speeding across the sky about 9:20 a.m. local time, just after sunrise, leaving a thick white contrail and an intense flash. 

We were hoping to catch a glimpse of the other meteorite that is making a close flyby tonight, but the skies here are way too much pollute with light. That’s when they are clouded over.   

The Man and I had a very pleasant walk around Canary Wharf tonight. We went the long way to the train station. Well worth the lovely views out over the water.
What do you think?
