Lyrids/Sleepless nights

I slept late last night. It was quite cool and the sky was clear. The moon was setting and as I got into my blanket on my terrace and looked up, I saw a fireball move across the north east part of the sky and I was thrilled! 
That made me lose any little bit of sleep remaining and I searched the internet for any possible meteor showers this time of the year, as I remembered the Lyrid showers from a few years ago. The internet told me that the showers were to officially start on 16th of April and would peak on 21st. So I know what to do those few nights - stay awake and look at the sky! :D 
Then I remembered this blog post I wrote two years ago about the Lyrids... I am super lucky to witness such events!
