HAPPY NEW WEEK and HAPPY FULL MOON!
The last full moon of 2024 will occur early Sunday morning (December 15) in the US and UK. The Geminid Meteor Shower will also be peaking, although the light of the full moon may impair the view of the meteors. This moon will be the Winter Solstice moon.
Last Tuesday (the 10th), my region had multiple meteorite falls as a result of the Geminid Shower. That's when the meteors don't fully burn up in the atmosphere and instead hit the ground.
Many people had security cam and doorbell cam footage of the bright light and the flash as a meteor hit. Others heard booms, and many heard an ongoing rumble like loud thunder (sometimes accompanied by a hissing sound). People also smelled a foul odor like burning metal and smoke.
The meteorite closest to me hit just after 4:00 a.m., so I was in bed. However, I heard the long, loud thunder and my floors shook. I also smelled that ghastly odor.
Many people here didn't know about the Geminids, so they immediately concluded that war had broken out--an indication of the fear and anxiety of our political climate right now.
Everyone have a good week. Love and hugs to all.
Thank you, Diane. Happy Solstice to you too!!
Rainy here but not cold . I went to the supermarket & it was like Christmas Eve already. soo busy & trollies full of goodies. I managed to park but half an hour later when I came to leave, two cars were waiting for my space!!
I've finally got decorations on our tree, & put up the last of the festive bits & bobs I dot around the house, so the boxes are being put away to make room for our bags of presents & our suitcase for our trip South soon.
STARTING NEW THREAD NOW
Have a lovely Christmas with your family LINDY.
