A few weeks ago I was in conversation with Robin Rees about #astronomy & cats! Robin sent me 3 books written by @DrBrianMay @deicherstar & Brian's PhD thesis! The two small packages are from Brian's @londonstereo Company which include astronomy themed stereoscopic cards. Thank U!

Kids are absolutely hilarious.
Me (to group of kids): ‘Can anyone see the Man in the Moon?’
Kid (6yo): ‘See him? I know him. Lives in Penygroes. Nice boy.’
So there you have it. The Man in the Moon apparently has relocated to Penygroes 😂🌝🌙
