I went out for a walk tonight to see the partial lunar eclipse. It was hard to find a spot where I could see it, because the Moon is still really low on the sky in Finland now, and there were some clouds as well. But finally it rose high enough that I could see the latter part of the partial eclipse. It was beautiful, and I feel awed when I can see astronomical events occurring in front of my eyes.

Also, on my way back home I could see Arcturus and Vega shining in the sky. In the Finnish summer it's hard to see any stars because the sky is so light most of the time, so it's lovely to be able to make out some of the brightest ones again.

Otherwise, today has been a tired and quiet day, though mainly good. I returned from the family visit I've been on for the past couple of days, and have mainly been binge-reading Daughter of Mystery, which I find fascinating. I've slept poorly the past few nights, so I wasn't trying hard to do anything more active.

Writing

I got about 300 words written, mainly on my

rarepairfest fic and a little bit on the original project. The fic seems to be one of these stories that just grow longer and longer, I hope it finishes at some point, too!
