Smoking Moon

I was a bit busy yesterday working on a live football match and updating my team sheet on the internet with all the action. My phone rang which was a bit unusual as people know I'm busy and a DO NOT DISTURB notice is known by all my friends and family.

I quickly answered my phone and it was my next door neighbour, oh know I thought, must be something wrong with her husband who has been quite ill for some years. "Have you seen the moon" she asked, "Well no I'm working on a football match" I replied still listening to the commentary with my other ear. "It's beautiful and thought you would like to get your camera out". OK I thought, wait till half-time.

I rushed outside during the break and must admit it did look good but had to keep waiting for the clouds to move out of the way. A voice came from over the fence behind me, "Did you get it and can I have some of the commission". Yes right I'll get back to my match thank you.
Fantastic shot! Love your story too! Did your team win?

@dorsethelen No Helen and both the Manager and his Son who was playing got sent off, both deserved it as well.

@maggiemae Will do, but she's still not getting any commission, nothing from nothing.

Glad your neighbour called. Great shot. It was really bright here on the 31st but it was too cold to venture out. Guess that shows a lack of dedication. LOL

A fascinating moon photo! The darker bit looks really good! The football was more important to you I reckon!
