Also, the corpo have been out and about all day cleaning shores at areas that have been prone to flooding in latter years so they must be expecting a deluge! Whats the betting we'll get nothing...just like them having all the salt and sand for the snow last winter and it wasn't needed lol

Venus Watch
On its way to the historic transit of the Sun in June, Venus will swell up into a huge crescent as it blazes in the evening skies every night in May .
For one night only, Astronomy Ireland will set up telescopes at its Shop in Dublin and around Ireland to show you Venus as it comes spectacularly close to Earth.
Venus Watches will take place on Wednesday, May 23rd, at 8pm. Note that this event is in daylight, but Venus is so bright you can see it with the naked eye while the Sun is still shining, showing just how spectacular an event this is!
