Progress so far on the 1:24 Airfix Mustang. All the cockpit parts are done, the pilot needs some work, some green in the lower engine bay. All the other internal bits are done. It's been flash nightmare, other than that ok. All dry fit seems fine, but it does until its glued. #histscalemodels

Well we sacked a local hiking jaunt today with an early pub lunch due to the weather forecast as heavy rain throughout the day. It's clear blue skies...the Met Office app is saying its heavy rain at the moment. What software are they using I wonder, are they getting satellite feeds from sputnik?

She's a beautiful Garden Spider, Araneus diadematus, Jim, coming towards the end of her life - before winter she'll lay her eggs in a silken sac and then die. More information in our Factsheet4 at britishspiders.org.uk/factsheets

My garden seems to have quite a few of the critters webbing around, the webs are like 2ft wide.

Please explain this, a small part, a towing hitch fell to the floor, I watched it go down, fortunately I could see it go all the way. A 3 foot drop and it bounced over 6 foot away, its literally 4mm x 4mm in size. No wonder we never find anything

Plenty of crater detail showing on the moon this morning, taken with my trusty old Nikon D300, 300mm prime lens and 1.7 teleconverter. #moon #astronomy #space #nightsky
