Just as soon as I've finished typing, Simon ;D .

Believe it or not, my hubby commented on the size of the moon when we were bimbling our dog this afternoon.

OK, I'll ask... "bimbling"?   :dunno:

Sorry  :blush: - a 'bimble' is a walk, often over rough terrain and often pointless.

I think it's a word which arose in the Falklands war, although I've never thought of it as a military term.

not the biggest you will ever see.. but still it was quite nice earlier today.. now we just have cloud. Though.. its not the full moon quite yet surely? Either that or my scripts (http://www.sr.bham.ac.uk/observatory/moon_phase.php) are incorrect (which I doubt).
