Well, I must have looked like a wanker this afternoon!

Standing outside my workshop, 2 pairs of sunnies & shade 13 fixed welding lens on a hidebook helmet, didn't see squat.

Got home and seen it on the news, tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny little bloody dot against the sun, could of passed as crap on my helmet.........

Oh well, takes all kinds........

Captain Cook sailed half way round the world to have a look at it and found Oz in the process - or something like that! And you reckon it was not worth seeing........and why should you look any different this afternoon than any other afternoon...hhahahahha
