It was all about the light last night, as we were treated to four spectacular versions of its mysterious wonder. Ok, I say 'treated', but the fourth version was a power cut - right in the middle of the bloody football!..
The evening started with the most astonishing sunset, turning the world a gorgeous pale yellow and finishing with a glorious blanket of orange and red, backed up with a superb double rainbow. That was followed by a thrilling firework display, put on as it is every year by one of our local schools..
The evening ended, as I said, with a flippin' power cut, meaning we spent a good part of the rest of the night in candlelight. The one night I've actually wanted to watch a football match on the box - Salford City v Notts County - the juice went off and I had to follow the game the old fashioned-way .. updates on Facebook!!..
Still, that short period of not having any light was the perfect way to realise how much we appreciate it..
