Clouded-out stargazing night becomes extremely successful soup night.
When clouds covered the sky, an astronomy club moved indoors and compared photographs over homemade soup. A newcomer learned how to find the North Star using a diagram on a napkin. Two neighbours arranged to share a telescope next week. The organiser marked the event a success, despite observing no actual stars and accidentally discovering a very good lentil recipe.
Conditions poor. Company excellent.
