Was this flying over Hout Bay last night?
This came to mind early this morning,I could hear the buzz of a mosquito,terrible little monsters that they are,this one was flying around my pillow,swat! got it? maybe but then there it was again.We are lucky I thought to myself to only get them in Hout Bay Once in a Blue Moon,whats that mean?
Once in a Blue Moon ... is a common way of saying not very often, but what exactly is a Blue Moon?
According to the popular definition, it is the second Full Moon to occur in a single calendar month.
The average interval between Full Moons is about 29.5 days, whilst the length of an average month is roughly 30.5 days. This makes it very unlikely that any given month will contain two Full Moons, though it does sometimes happen.
On average, there will be 41 months that have two Full Moons in every century, so you could say that once in a Blue Moon actually means once every two-and-a-half years.
Nice! Roy
