The return trip from Manchester
Airport was on deserted roads (to be expected around 3 a.m.) and it was drier
and clearer than the outward journey as the remnants of Hurricane Bertha
dispersed, and I did think the M62 and A1(M) unusually well moonlit; the
explanation emerged today with a news item revealing that the moon is currently
at perigee (closest proximity to the Earth) and so is noticeably bigger and
brighter than the norm; tonight was also clear and I took a more measured look
from the garden and saw it bright and stunningly clear, throwing my deep black
shadow on to the wall behind.
