I'm going to put it on my calendar for 82,024 and hope it will be warmer and I'll be living on a hill then.

Damn, bit too late 
I had a look out and thought I saw Betelgeuse going supernova but it turned out to just be clickbait

Well thanks for that - it reminds me of a scene in the 1861 film ''Whistle down the wind'' with Hayley Mills. The line from the kids at the end ''Have we missed him'' when they were looking for Jesus.
Maybe you could have told us all about the comet the day before it showed up

Yes, in the western sky, after sundown at dark 30 in the general view angle of where the sunsets. Amazing to think this is an 80,000 year event in our incredible Universe.
