Its clear here now - lots of stars - but staring at them makes my eyes go funny
I can't decide whether they (the stars) have moved, disappeared or I imagined them. The bats keep whizzing past my head too which is a bit offputting
I'd love to see a meteor shower but at this rate I'll be asleep 
Anyone else looking - or am I the only starry-eyed nutter? -
Off to have a look outside, I'll be back later with the result.Location....East Midlands.Comment

Spotted one as soon as we walked out the door
hung around outside for 5 mins but didn't see another one.

It clouded over as soon as we went outside
I didn't see any but The Boy saw quite a few. I had to come in after five minutes - I was just too tired.
Maybe better luck this evening.Jules
Coffee. Garden. Coffee. Does a good morning need anything else?

We saw 3 last night in about 15 minutes
Going to have another look tonight. I love 'em, there's something magical about shooting stars.

Perhaps I should've been looking up when I was outside last night
Will adjust my gaze tonight!While wearing your night clothes, plant cucumbers on the 1st May before the sun comes up, and they will not be attacked by bugs.Comment

Oh heck- I'd totally forgotten about that!
Thanks for the reminder
Looks like there should be a good shower tonight too!

We saw three on Saturday and one last night. Heard that the peak was last night but apparently that was incorrect and it's tonight. Sky looks a bit clearer so fingers crossed we see some!An onion can make people cry, but there has never been a vegetable invented to make them laugh.

Cloudy at the moment, and I'm too old to stay up very late

"Skywatchers are advised to lie on a blanket or a reclining chair to get the best view." I may be sleeping in the garden then if the clouds clear away.Comment

I watched this in 2007, it really was a shower and a spectacular sight. Every year since, I go out and nothing but clouds. Fingers crossed for tonight
