Tomorrow evening we'll see a total eclipse of the heart sun at around 1630 local time.
Let's hope it's not cloudy.

Cloudy with sunny spells they say. With it being so close to sunset anyway the animals and birds won't be so affected which is good.

Certainly a lot less overcast here with the sun making an appearance every ten minutes....heck of a wind has got up though.
My mind however is more concentrated in going to Dia where they have an offer of 3 cans of St Wendeler Negra for 100 pesos today.

It was predictable that this solar eclipse will not be visible at least in BA region. That is because it was too late, after 5:00 PM, and the sun was too low. Also it was cloudy. Neither the effect of couble shading could be appreciated, as there were no direct rays from the sun falling in the trees leaves.
The only thing that I noted was that some obscurity came at 5.30 PM and then the light improved at 5:45 PM, a rare fact if an eclipse will not be in course.

It turned out better than I thought despite the cloud. We were in the Movistar shop buying a phone when the sky went totally black. A short time later 'dawn' started....not fully, but there was blue sky in the distance where minutes before it was dark.
One thing I observed was the mass of starling type black birds which come into town to roost at night arrived much earlier than they should have. After doing their acrobatic display in the air they settled down in the trees. When it began to get light again they started flying about but just stayed in town which I was glad to see.
To be honest from what I saw not many people were bothered by the eclipse.
