Proof that I was the first person to see the Super Harvest Super Super Moon when it rose.

It's there somewhere.

Open sea. On the horizon a number of the Barber Sands wind turbines glowing orange from the setting sub. Just above the horizon between the turbines can dimly be seen a pink moon, through the sea fret.

I suppose if RFK Jr manages to reduce the level of unnecessary circumcision in the US, that will be the one useful thing he's ever done.

I sold my 20 year old Panda after owning it for 15 years and 120k miles myself. And I mourn every time I see a Fiat Panda. Especially electric blue.

Always good to see Beryl in its natural environment. A second hand shop.

Assorted china in a shop window. A jug, saucers and cups are Woods Ware "Beryl". The holiest of all china.
