@Met4CastUK 👍 Don't let the bastards grind you down

@Met4CastUK Maybe presages a pumped up hurricane season, given Atlantic/global ocean temperatures?

@Channel4News 'Fragile and still hanging in the balance, a furious Donald Trump...' - think you meant the ceasefire!

Nick Drake : 19th June 1948 - 25th November 1974

Remembered for a While

One of Tony Evans' remarkable portraits, February 1971

Take a look at this. A beautiful Siren of a cover that will lure in many a passing sailor/reader! All to be rewarded with the riches of the story within. Something to look forward to in March 2025. @juliarkelly2 #TheFishermansGift

Eeek! So gorgeous!!😍
1900: a boy washes up on the beach of a small fishing village in a storm, bearing an uncanny resemblance to teacher Dorothy's son, lost many years before. And as the past rises to meet the present, long-buried secrets start to come to light.. 🌊🌊🌊

@lockedinatardis Good to see you in the running again, Simon. Which makes it sound like you've entered for the Bendigo Cup, so I'd better get down to Ladbrokes for a flutter.

@write_corinmd Thanks, Corin! ☄️

After all the wet weather, happy to grab some images of C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS).

@SpacemanDan13 Thanks. Hope you get a chance. It's fading fast, couldn't see it with the naked eye here but quickly found it with binos. Should be easier where you are with your dark skies. Good luck!

@SpacemanDan13 #DarkIsland in mighty company there and...cough...top of the pile I see. Must be a sign! Fingers crossed - congrats, Daniel

@RobGMacfarlane A remarkable turn of events. The precise position will be very interesting, presumably factoring in glacier motion over time. Whether that can show where he fell, or whether his body was thrown down the mountain as per some recent Chinese reports, remains to be seen.

#Aurora or maybe #STEVE - not sure, but incredible to see tonight from a dark field surrounded by sheep! 13 second exposure - Harbury, Warwickshire

@jeffyoungwriter @ObsNewReview @LittleToller Beautifully expressed, Jeff. Went through very similar with my dad. How little there was to say that he'd understand, at a time when I only wanted to talk with him forever!

@Andr6wMale Another Creation obscurity. Beautiful hazy low-fi melancholy. The follow up Bahama is more produced but the melodies still shine. Just as good live. Pity they disappeared.
