@ Lover - it may cause Germany problems, but that would kind of enhance the experience if you had a good black out

I found another couple of ways of seeing the eclipse without hurting your eyes, if you didn't manage to get any special eclipse glasses, or welding lenses or xray photos
( Thanks guys for those suggestions )
Pinhole projector
Use a pin to create a small hole in the centre of a piece of card.
Stand with your back to the eclipse and hold the perforated piece of card up so it gets the full force of the eclipse.
Then, use a second piece of card or A4 paper, preferably white, as a screen in front of you.
The eclipse will be projected through the pinhole and onto the screen.

Colander or large kitchen spoon with holes.

The holes in the colander can be used instead of the perforated card to project several images of the eclipse onto a piece of white card in the same way as a pinhole projector.
