When is it happening. Obviously I am not going to look at the sun, but will i notice a drop in light?

Unless you're an astronomy nerd, most people won't take any interest until it's either a total eclipse or nearly total.
I've seen most of it here so far, but thicker cloud is moving in now.

Light cloud... Solarscope up and focused. Working OK. Eclipse glasses to hand. Now, is it too early for a beer? 🥃
