App checked. Due overhead at 04:55 onwards - how exciting; at last something to look forward to, break the terminal Covid lockdown boredom!
Alarm set 04:45.
Slept fitfully till 04:40, pre-empted alarm (senior gentlemen's reasons, dealt with that).
Put on slippers - well one slipper actually - my son's dog that we seem to have adopted recently is a chronic slipper thief.
Crept carefully through the house, using a small torch to preserve night vision and so's not to wake the other half.
Re-checked the App - They're coming, They're coming, should be right overhead in a couple of minutes!!
Carefully unlocked and slid back the patio door.
Hopped out onto the cold patio slabs, in pyjamas and the one slipper, shivering slightly.
Looked skywards....for ten minutes. Didn't see a damned thing.
Went back to bed, feeling very cold and rather silly.
