   I slipped out to the back porch/verandah for a quiet smoke around 2300hrs   
   local (which is close to yours as well IIRC) and caught sight of a partial   
   (maybe 40%).  The moon was still climbing to a northerly aspect at that time,   
   for us.  Just afterwards it was totally lost to high-level cloud.   
      
   It was a lucky break in the clouds for me as we've just come out of a week's   
   worth of constant rain, of almost biblical mangnitude (some talk around town   
   of rainfall measured over a -yard- in the old lingo, in places).   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
