Cuttlefish friend off Bournemouth beach last night 🦑
The bay is a popular breeding ground for them. I often see the eggs and newbies in the shelter of the few reefs out there.

A shame they weren’t available to slot in to the old coal power plant sites. Many were sited near water (to receive coal shipments) and have grid connections in place.

It’s been many months and several storms but still my favourite observation station is offline…perchance it got blown away last year?

What else is a weather geek to do?

Two youths glancing guiltily at me as I walked in to the pool changing rooms. The hastily-but-not-hastily enough hidden vape was the obvious cause of their discomfort.

I dislike vaping, but I really dislike the fact that I’m now considered a grown up from who such transgressions must hidden.

A starry night sky, with Orion centered. Jupiter is visible in Taurus above and Sirius appears just over the horizon below.

The rain has stopped, the skies clear and the mercury falls. Perfect evening to be sat on a clifftop with only stars and waves for company. A rare treat with 4 planets visible too. #stargazing #astronomy #ukweather #winternights
