It's 10.30 pm and Daisy and Co have just watched the international space station race overhead before becoming lost in a head of cloud, so we turned the binoculars around and focused on Mars, the red planet, who's colour was so visibly obvious, even to the naked eye.
So Curiosity landed beautifully on Mars, in spite of immense difficulties, and there it will stay until its work is done, whenever that may be?
Daisy's reaction "wow, that's fantastic!".
Before the sky's panoramic performance, we watched the first programme of a new series of "Who Do You Think You Are?", the family history show which brings to life a person's unknown historical background and genealogical roots. Some know much of their family while, for others, its a path into almost totally unknown territory, and Daisy just loves the twists and turns which accompany the chosen person, down their own path to family enlightenment.
"Fantastic!" she opines.
Earlier in the evening, Daisy took part in a Zumba class for she finds it hugely enjoyable to be involved with the differently choreographed musical styles and settings, from salsa to flamenco, the chachacha to samba, belly dancing, hip hop and tango.
No wonder it's so warming and, presently, rather too hot for Daisy, who's not taken a regular class for several years!
"But it's brilliant, and so good for so many, and old and young to boot!" she adds.
The day itself was dull and drizzly before the promised storm clouds unleashed their torrent of rain upon our roof tops, gardens and mad dogs and English folk, who just must go abroad on a thunderingly moistened day.
Daisy and the dogs took their early morning walk before the clouds had gathered their full measure which meant only a very little drizzly rain fallin' on our heads, as we beetled around the field and back home; Daisy was not about to get her freshly washed and styled hair-do get ruined by troublesome rain clouds!
So off she raced home to tackle a basket of ironing, waiting to ambush her the moment she stepped inside the back door.
