Physics in action: a truly mesmerising #SolarFlare on the Sun last night, from the same region that produced strong flares and triggered widespread aurora back in mid-November. The flare gives a hypnotic example of how plasma and magnetic fields interact in the Sun’s atmosphere.

This work was painted at Gerald Gardiner’s home in Gloucestershire in the mid 1930s and is a good example of his depiction of a night-time scene, showing the light, the reflections and shadows cast by the oil lamp and fire as his wife, Evelyn contentedly reads a book.

Many of David Tindle's paintings possess what might be called a quiet profundity. For the art critic Brian Sewell, Tindle was: 'a painter in that quietly Romantic tradition of British art ... concerned with everyday, intimate, domestic subjects.'

Today I became an elected member of the Society of Wood Engravers, a reminder of the imminent entry deadline for the 2026 annual exhibition. Shown, engravings selected by SWE in 2023-5 and a probable entry for 2026. Good news in hard times.

35 miles cycling today on a rigid mtb, with a bit of technical trail, where I was really cautious cuz I didn't want to introduce myself to a tree and spend the remainder of the afternoon in an ER waiting for the on- call orthopedic surgeon to roll up
