thank you. gness
wendilla ... my gratitude to you again for the information. i set the alarm to wake me at 0500 saturday morning, and went to see how clear the sky was before waking up my god-daughter (she was really excited the previous evening about seeing the ISS) .. as it happens, there was total cloud coverage - so i did not wake her
the same also for yesterday morning
there is still hope however, as i shall keep an eye on your continuing posts, and when there are evening opportunities - i shall text her the times
