Or the day a final year med student was designated to take my bloods on a multi-hour test. About half way through, she asked where I worked - "Your Uni" was my reply. Instantly her hands started shaking to the point where her supervising doc had to take over for the rest!

What I remember from the eclipse that clipped the north of Scotland a few years back was the salmon lying in the mouth of the River Spey, boiling to the surface and starting to run as it approached totality. Then just after the light returned, the dolphins just offshore started breaching furiously.

Coming through the Cairngorms late last night, I didn't need one, they were diving into my headlights to catch all the moths/insects they drew - Also Owls, several types from small to large, incl Barn Owls. 🙃

Ozrics are the band who unquestionably win the play-on despite a failing generator award from me. I lost count of how many times it died during their set but they recovered every time and still played a blinder...! 😁
