Wolf Moon

This afternoon I listened to the QPR v Cardiff City match on the radio in which Cardiff lost 2-1 to slump to their fourth consecutive defeat over the Christmas period.

To brighten up the mood I took the blipfoto which is of the full moon. Taken handheld from my patio. This moon was named 'Wolf Moon' because villagers used to hear packs of wolves howling in hunger around this time of the year. It's other name is the Old Moon. This January there will be two Wolf Moons - and stargazers will be in for a treat as both will be supermoons. When two moons occur in one month, the second is called a blue moon. While blue moons typically occur only once every two to three years, this year we will be treated to two moons - the second appearing at the end of March.
