This morning, when we dragged ourselves out of bed at 6am, I raced out onto the balcony to check out the planets in the eastern pre-dawn sky. They there were, cradled amongst the branches of the trees in our front yard, just like on the NASA video!

Today Rob is taking me into hospital to have my horridly infected tonsils cut out. Not much to look forward to in the short term other than pain, but at least I can look forward to better health once I have recovered from the surgery.

With the planets aligned like they are this morning, what can go wrong? 🙂
