Yeah, I've been looking forward to this...Seen it for years, I only found out what it was called last year but I always looked up at the sky.

It's quite cloudy where i am at the moment..hopefully that'll go by 1 AM.
Ive seen a few big meteors in my time...accidentally.... i do like looking up and watching when it's a nice night.

I sat on a hill and watched the show for about an hour. Saw some really cool ones.
