It's actually a great album, it was the soundtrack of when me and a mate drove down to Cornwall for the total solar eclipse in '99😬🫡.

I was in Amiens, France for the eclipse, visiting my great Uncle Tom's grave, who died in 1916 in the great war at the Thiepval memorial.

Won't be visiting France for a while 😂

Ha ha. It's a REALLY odd experience, the solar eclipse, I think it was about 11 o clock in the morning and almost complete darkness. The odd thing was, it was one of those rare days with a light fog where you can look directly at the sun, through it.

Funnily enough, my sister was looking into our family tree and she found a grave in North Wales of our Great great grandparents, their son was 28 when he died but also had his name inscribed on their grave. I could just make out his name with M.M. as a suffix. I know that M.M. is a military medal, for gallantry, looked in the military archives and found him! He was awarded the medal for stretcher baring duties under heavy fire, was injured and sadly died a few days later. He's buried in Rouen, I hope to visit the grave of my Great great uncle one day, the reference of exactly where he's buried is available online. It's remarkable what you can find out if you do a bit of research😳.

Yes, even back in 1999, I used

To find my Uncle's location.

If you're ever at the Thiepval memorial, have a look at pillar13C for Thomas W. Hardcastle, Rifleman.

That's my Uncle!

I will indeed🫡. All the Commonwealth graves are immaculately kept, which is lovely given their sacrifice.

They are, we have one in our village.

What I love about #Nostr is, we've ended up here after opening on #MonkeyBusiness😬😂.

At least we know what they do all day now 😂

Did you go to the eclipse festival that sort of flopped?

No my friend, we were just booked into a B&B for a few days, watched the eclipse on a wall from what I remember, just above Fristral beach.

We played at the festival, I took acid, had a great time and then nearly quit the band on the drive home…

Orbital were good though!

You have made me remember something very funny though. In a club one night, while down there, a good 4 or 5 hundred miles from where I live. They were having a wet t-shirt contest. About 10 young ladies obliged, great. The "Compare" then asked the ladies if any of them would like to oblige and remove their tops completely. Only 2 did, when quizzed as to where they we from.....? The 2 towns immediately adjacent to mine🙄😂.
