About 800 2ndry school children saw the transit through the scopes or
the projectors as well as the viewers plus a hundred and odd adults.
Totally exhausting but very exciting - until the moment one little
******* spat a smartie onto the lens of the PST - and we had to put it
away (missing the last half hour, bugger it) Thank god he never got
near the APO.


The uncharitable thought occurs to me that if he had done that at the
last transit he would be sleeping on his front (and fitfully) for days.
