So much needless hype building up to it.

I remember when I heard about it a few days ago, my thought was "oh, lucky for spain and thought nothing more.

Then the next thing I'm hearing is "96% in UK, ohmygosh" and BBC gushing over it like it was going to be the next biggest thing.

I saw the sky darken slightly. Cool. 2 hours well spent.

I loved it. It got quite a bit darker and we got strange shadows, birds also started to freak out a little. It was such an eerie atmosphere. I did say expect it to get as dark as it did.
