Just spent the last hour watching the meteors - Baaaaaaa-riliant.
Its certainly wooly jumper weather out there tonight.
Orion and Gemini are currently South-West-ish (@22:00 BST and slowly moving left to right)
Looked at Mars with binoculars as well - just out of this world.
Baaaaaaaa hope you got a good look at Mars as it now fading away. Christmas Day was its closest and brightest, and now its only just as bright as Sirus, but fading day by day as it get further away from us.
This 5 min. podcst form http://starhustler.com/JHSG_DNLD.html is American, a bit rough, but watchable, very interesting and easy to understand.

However, don't get too upset as early in the morning from now until early Feb, You'll see Jupiter and Venus converge to be one of the brightest things in the early sky.
