I'm definitely going to learn more about this. I've seen other videos too which show a different rotation (but of the same side of the moon). So it's looking more & more that it is just some new lesson.

ataxia.scot @ataxia.scot · 14/03/2025

Every day's a school-day 👍 I knew that the same side of the moon always faced earth. But comparing the pics (taken 9 years apart), you can definitely see that it has rotated anti-clockwise a little. I didn't know that the moon did this.

ataxia.scot @ataxia.scot · 14/03/2025

The moon had a kind of halo (thanks to the sky being so dark there).

Great pics Sonja. Not red for me when "walking" in Spain in 2016 either 🙁 Taken from the Parc Natural de l'Albufera, south of Valencia. The park has no artificial light, amazing dark sky, so visibility was great (nearest light was from a passing cruise ship out at sea - heading up to Barcelona?).

Pleasantly sunny here (unusual for March). I even saw a huge BEE on Monday - queenie looking for somewhere to build a hive probably? Didn't see a butterfly until AUGUST last year (normally see them daily from April/May), so seeing a bee this early in the year, is a very good sign 🐝

Was 35 before went (ex GFs father was from there - so stayed with family). Had expected wall-to-wall concrete & tourists. Instead, a complete surprise of just how naturally beautiful it is. So much so, I then lived there for 3 years.

As tame as it sounds, Mallorca. Outside of the concreted tourist enclaves (which are actually about 1% of the island), it's an amazingly beautiful place. With equally friendly locals. And it has mountains!

Renewable electricity. While the English voted for a party who banned onshore windfarms, we built them up here. And now, they want to pipe it all that electricity down south (and sell it back to Scots at the most expensive electricity rates in Europe?). Some Scots are unbelievably daft 😕🥀

This is what Labour (and their Tory mates) down south want. That Scots will lose their livelihoods as a result, is of little concern to them. At least Thatcher was honest about being a monster. This Labour lot pretend that they're not. 🥀

Employers should be falling over themselves to adapt premises so that they can employ us. As you say, everything, every day, is a problem to be solved. And we find a way. Exactly the kind of people an employer wants to drive his/her business ahead of the competition.

This is one of the reasons that funding prevention not intervention is so important. Many charities provide intervention, even if it means more social activities which keep people happier and active for longer, reducing pressure on statutory services.
