Delighted that @drkevinfong.bsky.socialโ€™s excellent podcast โ€˜16 Sunsetsโ€™ is now out. Extraordinary and worthy successor to the amazing โ€˜13 minutes to the moonโ€™ series. Thoughtful, inspiring history of the space shuttle program and exemplary standard of podcasting. ๐Ÿงช

Word of the day is a favourite, from old Scots.

To โ€˜tartleโ€™ is to hesitate while introducing someone because you have completely forgotten their name.

Uninspirational Quotes

ย 
โ€œNo matter how big the challenge ahead,
itโ€™s never too late to run away.โ€
ย 
โ€œEvery morning is another chance to have
an even less productive day.โ€
ย 
โ€œDonโ€™t be overawed by your own inadequacies โ€“
embrace them with a passion.โ€
ย 
โ€œIf at first you donโ€™t succeed,
then it will probably never happen.โ€
ย 
โ€œThere is no task that is too immense โ€“
the word itself says โ€œIโ€™m menseโ€.
ย 
โ€œThink of Life not as a competition,
more as a sequence of non-events.โ€
ย 
โ€œIf the breakthrough doesnโ€™t come today,
donโ€™t worry โ€“ weโ€™ll all soon be dead.โ€
ย 
โ€œIt may be too late to begin again,
but itโ€™s never too early to go to bed.โ€
ย 
โ€œIt takes seventeen muscles to form a smile
but only three to look at your phone.โ€
ย 
โ€œShould you ever think your work is no good,
just remember: youโ€™re not alone.โ€


Brian Bilston
