Thin clouds around for much of the eclipse, but still a decent outing.

Nice!

I stepped outside a few minutes before the eclipse was to begin and saw a little sucker-hole drifting towards where the Sun was hiding. I used my eclipse glasses to get a 10-second view of the uneclipsed Sun. That was it. Cloudy the rest of the afternoon.

I am glad that you were a bit luckier.

Very nice! The image with the sunspot is similar to what I observed through the eyepiece of my telescope. At first it looked like a tower on the moon that was silhouetted against the sun!
