After getting back from Botswana on Thursday evening after a thankfully positive auction, I had one day at home and then had to get up early this morning again, at 4:15, to catch a 5:55 flight to Cape Town.
Luckily I saw the following interesting star and moon formation while driving to the airport (I tried to see it last night but it was too cloudy): the moon, Mars, Venus and Jupiter fairly close to each other. Jupiter was extremely faint (due to too much ambient light, including streetlights). As you can see from the Sky Map app screenshot, Mercury would have been visible too (if I had a telescope and time handy).
I couldn't even have coffee on the flight because I had no cash on me. I had expected that there would be an ATM in the departure area at the airport but [note to future self:] there is not, so get cash before checking in and going to the departure area.
