An auspious birthday

The event occurred in the last few hours of my birthday (31/01/2018). I chased the Super, Full, Blue, Blood lunar eclipse (Till 2:30am!). I would have taken it as a bad omen if it had been overcast. It was perfectly clear, still and not a cloud but freezing (3 degrees actually). It was a wonderful way to end a pleasant day, under the stillest, quietest and clearest skies I think i’ve ever seen!
