I do not want to run head first into 200kg (?) of Samoan, however handsome he may be!

Well! That Green Space Dark Skies on Country File was wasted on me !
You can get a similar effect watching people streaming home at night from a hillside in their cars without going to a wild dark area and creating light pollution !

I’ve just put some succulents into a terrarium bowl.

Another weekend that has gone way too quick

I was wondering if a scale model of a TdF rider like the Britain's models could be made from thin brass tubing . I don't fancy paying the prices of them on the bay.

Mrs Dr B bought me some crocs to replace an old pair of trainers that I’d been using as diy shoes. She’d thrown the trainers in the bin 😡. I hate crocs, but I also know which battles are worth fighting.

It may be Hallowe'en tomorrow, but I have notices over the past few days that some very strange things are happening in my home.

Have any of you visited recently without saying so?

What sort of "strange things", and how strange?

Very few people nowadays experience really dark skies. I once went for a walk after dark up a small road just north of Lairg on a starry night but no moon. I realised after I was out of sight of the campsite lights that I literally could not see my hand in front of my face. When I turned round to go back it was impossible to see where to put my feet to avoid potholes.
Not the first time I have experienced real darkness when camping but the most scary and very unusual nowadays.

Soup, toasted sandwich and the F1 from Mexico on the radio.

The village I live in is classed as being in the countryside.Never get dark skies due to the upward projection of street lighting and other sources of upward light.. I do remember the star light during the time when street lighting was gas street lamps

Pretty dark in Hartland Devon!

Kent is wet and grey as well. Went out, came back but will go out for a ride when it brightens up.

I think we got the weather that you'd had. The rain started in Kent, crossed the Thames estuary, through Essex and Suffolk before carrying on to annoy parts of Norfolk as well.

With nothing better to do I ended up changing the bedding and putting the removed bits into the wash. While the machine did its thing, I ironed yesterday's washing (despite not normally doing domestics on the weekend) before heading into the shed and playing at being bicycle repair man with this being the end result...

I sometimes open a drawer or a cupboard and find spaces that were not there before.

Today I have been editing paperwork from donkey's years ago. Not much of that to go in the bin, as I keep any pages that have only been printed on one side.
