Well, here in Manchester (UK) things looked like they were going to be great at 6pm, there was little cloud for a change, and the blue sky made me think that it was going to be a good night. But as it got darker the cloud became more prevalent and soon enough a fairly dense layer had built up - easy to judge round here from the street light pollution bouncing off the cloud base. So, personally, I was disappointed again. Still it could never compare with one time years back when me and a bunch of friends laid outside watching the shooting stars, not knowing just how fortuitous we were to have picked that night of all nights to camp on top of a hill away from the streetlights.

I usually take a fast look at the skies many nights, but it had completely slipped my mind that the Perseid shower was the night of the 12th, so I didn't look, and nothing really caught my attention out the windows. There was also some confustion from friends who claimed the fall was actually on the 11th, not the 12th. Anyway, I "saw nothing, NOTHING!!" (for those of you who remember Sgt. Schultz on the Hogan's Heroes TV show.)
