Auguries

Intransigent Venus

I'm so predictable...

To me anyway!

The only way I could get her up this morning was by pointing the camera at her, and by then Venus was already 16 minutes into her journey. Somehow, we managed to get to school in time - and with brekky in the tummy, rainbow belt found, and obstinate boots zipped up (now broken by the monkey bars, 3rd pair down in a month).

And L, who was heartbroken the Transit happened on a school day, managed to take it in, albeit not at Stromlo. A classmate did go and brought back some glasses so everyone could view it, and a university student (another classmate's sibling) came in to talk to the class about it. The class had been talking about it all year (studying passages about it in literature), so I was pleased the event did not pass unnoticed when their teacher took the day off.
