Have you bought special glasses for this? We haven't but we were planning to go out locally and sit on a hill, using my iphone to video it. However, I've just read this online: Taking photographs of an eclipse risks damaging mobile phones, the public has been warned. Light from the solar event can break the sensors behind phone cameras, leaving them with permanent black spots. Mike Peel, of Imperial College London, said: “Your phone might be able to cope with a quick shot or two, but longer exposure risks damage to its camera and/or can cause the phone to overheat. “You can use solar eclipse glasses over the phone camera lens to protect it, but make sure you’re also wearing glasses when you’re trying to point it at the Sun.” The College of Optometrists warned: “Do not be tempted to watch it or photograph it on your phone, and the same goes for a camera, telescope or binoculars.” Who's got the glasses and filters for their cameras? If you've got some great footage, please share it here later - would love to see it 🌒🌓🌔🌕

Hi Jackie, there are some great videos in your posts, can they all be in one place perhaps? Sorry if I’m missing that one place - have looked at Classroom but not everything is there? Thx, Kay - Happy Friyay

Let us know in the comments how you found them.

If you're anything like me, "relax" is easier said than done — especially when stress and cortisol are already messing with your sleep, your blood sugar, and yes... your middle. I stumbled upon the handpan music of Malte Marten and it stopped me in my tracks. It's the kind of sound that gives your nervous system permission to switch off, even just for ten minutes. Why it matters for us: when we're stuck in "go go go" mode, cortisol stays high — and that directly feeds blood sugar swings, bloating, and stubborn menopause middle fat. A few minutes of calm isn't indulgent, it's physiological. 🎵 Search "Malte Marten" on YouTube or Spotify — pop it on while you make dinner, do your evening stretch, or just sit with a cuppa. Try it today and tell me below: did it help you switch off, even a little? 💛

I'm just about to go live but I thought I'd pop this into chat beforehand !
