One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind...
Forty years ago today the first men walked on the moon – July 1969 – and just three and a half years later the astronauts of Apollo 17 finished the first stage of our exploration of the satellite...
Only twelve men have walked on the moon...
So far...
We’ve come a long way since but I think things need to be kick started again and I’m sure, eventually, they will be – but I’ll probably be dead before a man walks on Mars...
In honour of the anniversary, my music today comprised (in the main) albums released in 1969...
Back in humdrum CBQ-land, Alice Peacock’s new album arrived from e-bay and is very good (as I expected)...
More of a surprise was watching the first in a new series of “The Street” by Jimmy McGovern and it having a happy ending...
The acting was excellent, especially ex-Brookside favourite, Anna Friel...
Finished off the day watching a few minutes of footage from each of the Apollo missions to the moon and remembering the old days...
You can find the films here (for the time being no doubt)...
Highlight of the Day : Thinking about the moon....

I remember it well (because somebody told me), at Army cadet camp in Milton Bridge, totally unware of the moon landings at the time though. Lovely fried eggs.
