I picked little Opie the tortoiseshell cat up earlier. Always a gamble, really. She's beginning to resemble a bowling ball.
Excellent piece on the Royal Navy and capability.
He always seems surprised that people are listening to what he's saying.
I'd also recommend a niche New Zealand show called Small Town Scandal. Very amusing.
It really is. Thoroughly enjoyed the journey.

The gap last night between me receiving this image of tankers on fire off Basra and the official maritime alert being sent by a UK agency was over an hour and a half. The latency in reporting is a massive risk for shipping in the region. And when they do issue alerts, they don't give coordinates!
#Mums26 Once again, I implore you to send me your mother's name and include the hashtag #Mums26. Please please please, otherwise it's difficult to track. #Mums26
Saudi Aramco has a hoofing great pipe that runs out to its Red Sea terminal. They should be at full capacity by today, so we're all waiting for "Houthis have entered the chat".
Literally my job and another reason I just don't engage with those people on social media.
The situation now demands that questions be asked in parliament.
I surprised myself by enjoying season one. No idea what happened. The occasional glimpsed memory of something which actually comes from Three Body Problem.
I can recommend a particular episode of Jeeves and Wooster which has some spectacular "Oh, dear Lord, no" blacking up in it...
And we operate in an environment where UKMTO still doesn't put coordinates on the alerts it sends out to shipping. Thankfully, the Marine National and EU NAVFOR do...

Hollywood: "And a light salad with an Ozempic dressing for the ladies, please."
The US Navy says that the threat is too high to conduct escorts in the Strait of Hormuz at present. The shipping industry...
One ship abandoned due to fire which is now under control. Skeleton crew remains onboard.
1/ Vladimir Putin is said to be concerned about a possible coup by the Russian military following the arrest of former First Deputy Defence Minister Ruslan Tsalikov. Mobile Internet in the centre of Moscow has been turned off for the past week, with no official explanation. ⬇️

“Uh-oh.”
US Navy absolutely denying it happened as of 10 minutes ago. Literally posting into closed group chats that it's false.
A question everyone in maritime security has been asking themselves for over a week.
Prince Albert has entered the chat.
Been asked to attend a Very Important Meeting with worried shipping companies and various navy types. In a few minutes. But they've forgotten to send me the invite...
Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music
Several dozen folks did
Some even dubbed music over the original clip.
I haven't been able to get this out of my head.
So I give you

Today is Mario Day (Mar10) so let us all take a moment to remember both Mario and his brother Luigi. They deserved better than this...
Good lad.
I have created a diorama of the Partridge family attacking the Brady Bunch family. My life is very boring.
