As the night sky becomes less visible (pollution, ppl head down in phones etc), will it get harder to interest ppl in astronomy, satellites & space science? I was talking to space industry types last night & they feel public apathy. But is that a surprise when ppl can’t/don’t see the sky?

Omg! Now she’s howling again. I’ve just been up trying to get her to play but what she wants is for us to sit in the hallway and just hang.

This doesn’t do justice to how much noise she’s making

I’m so tired but have to meal prep now. I’d really love a wine but I got nothing. Might download an audiobook to make the time go quicker. Watered the garden and mowed the lawn… I better sleep tonight.

Cos playing ‘working class men’. Maybe they should have Splt ENz ‘you’ll spend six months in a leaky boat, working just to keep afloat’

The other day I popped into Waterstones Derby--always a delight! But there's good news and bad news. Bad news: they are completely sold out of THE HOUSE OF DEVIL'S NECK. Good news: more copies are on the way! And you can bet I'll be back to sign them when they arrive...

Hot Water Balloon

xkcd.com/3153/

Comic. [Giant balloon reminiscent of a hot air balloon but wavy and laying on the ground with “bloop” “bloop” sound effects. Two people are in a basket attached to one end of the balloon.] [caption] Hot water balloon rides turn out to be significantly less romantic than the air kind.

I’m so tired! I just have to get through 2 more hours … the first hour will no doubt be slow.

Ethane is seeping out from the ocean floor at rates greater than anticipated. It’s already not looking good.

Cartoon. Title: “A Word From the Head Honcho” Image shows PM Christopher Luxon standing in front of a photo of striking teachers. He’s saying, “It’s shameful - shameful - the way teachers are playing politics with children” then he says, “That is my job”
