Octagon font with quatrefoil carvings on a square base. Wooden cover topped with a golden bird (eagle, duck, dove?) on a golden pineapple and some wrought iron incorporating the number 53

Keeping up my #FontsOnFriday streak and back to the Tudor from St Mary’s Totnes. I rather like the C20th cover as well. It reminds me of the old Met Office “chicken on a stick” weathercock logo.

That is a whopper!

Happily my father; a @samfr.bsky.social esq 5’2”; role-modelled rising above the challenges instead.

From a fellow 4’11” (much easier for women, I know) I found this interesting. And sane and sensible.

We’re continuing to resolve issues and make improvements to our app. Here’s what’s coming up 👇

This week we’re adding the surface pressure video and fixing an issue so everyone can use the app without needing to share their location.

Assessing risk requires understanding hazard, likelihood and impact and ideally at a global level by an authoritative multi-lateral body to allow governments to determine how they can best protect citizens 🧪

Enjoying the sunshine in the southeast? ☀️

18.6°C has been provisionally recorded at Kew Gardens, London today, making it the highest temperature recorded in the UK in February since 27 February 2019, when 19.2°C was recorded at Heathrow Airport 🌡️

AI hallucination originated maybe?

Luvaduck! @themerl.bsky.social will help you with this one.

my local park is full of hundreds of snow sculptures and someone has been adding museum labels

It is: I sing services there often

A Norman font from St James Christow for #FontsOnFriday bisecting last week’s Saxon and Tudor pairing.

In fairness there’s been a big building programme for two years. So it was better for the wait

Definitely more gearing up for Spring for #WildflowerHour today. First dogs mercury, stitchwort and speedwell. Easy #TheWinter10 and two to spare. South Devon @bsbibotany.bsky.social @wildflowerhour.bsky.social

Don’t worry, it was a passing aberration

It’s also the space for the warning panel

Do you think it sits better with a different denomination?

Hooray! Enjoy

Yes. It seems that they got a “new” font when the church was rebuilt around 1480 and IIRC the 900 AD font was buried under the church and rediscovered and retrieved by the Victorians.

The background is the weather that is forecast. Hopefully you’ll see some blue or even the very pretty snowflake background over the next few days depending where you are

An octagonal font with carved faces in pinkish stone, ingloriously surrounded by Anglican clutter

A very plain round font in rough stone, cottage loaf shaped with a slight waist between base and bowl

A duo of #FontsOnFriday from St Andrew’s Buckland Monachorum. The C15th octagon is very nice but it’s eclipsed by that rotund Saxon tub font. That is a full fat font!

This is the biggest upgrade to our modelling suite for three years. The irony of the improved forecasting of rain is not lost on us! Lots more details for the aficionados in the link

Mmm-hmm

#TheWinter10 from the churchyard of St Mary’s Wolborough: still didn’t manage to get inside though. All very soggy. @bsbibotany.bsky.social @wildflowerhour.bsky.social

Yes that’s what I’m seeing. I’d seen people say the box was too big before but I thought they meant what you mean! Will follow up with team

Thanks.

That’s indeed unusable and nothing like it appears on any device I’ve used. Please do use the feedback and let us know what device you’re using

Now, who was asking me about the pressure chart? @jomorrison.medsky.social was it you?

This week You asked, we’re delivering: Easier to get forecasts for other locations Easier to save and manage locations Better layout for comparing locations

Thanks to everyone who has given feedback on our refreshed app.

This week we are:
- Simplifying how you get forecasts for other locations.
- Making it easier for you to save and manage locations.
- Enhancing the layout for comparing locations.
