Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 10-6-2021: Portugal

10th June, 2021.

Yep: we have a partial solar eclipse, due today.

You know: where the moon blocks out the light of the sun.

I wouldn’t mind catching that: assuming I’m out, and it’s not cloudy.

It’d be the second one visible from Brentwood, in my lifetime.

Here’s hoping.
