GNU Joey, this has been a terrible shock. How do you reconcile the death of one of the most alive people you've ever had the pleasure to meet? May your adventuring live on through Gus and TJ. The stories of you and your mad exploits, we will all take care of.

Holocaust Memorial Day: 'It didn’t start with gas chambers. It started with politicians dividing the people, us vs them...’

Recent events make it imperative for us to remember the Holocaust — and to protect democracy so we can truly say 'never again'

I like to imagine the beet red faces of the Iona Institute dullards reading Francis’s thoughts on gays and trans people

Post your favourite Doctor Who. Wrong answers only

Image of the acid house duo "Orbital" (Paul and Phil Hartnoll) playing live, wearing their trademark torch spectacles (which they have traditionally worn to be able to see their set up while playing in darkened rooms). The image has a red wash.

On the Orbital album "The Altogether" is a track called "Doctor?" which is a remix of the theme tune for Doctor Who.

Weird earwax fact There's a gene called ABCC11 that controls whether you have wet or dry earwax and how bad you smell when you sweat (dry & white means you don't produce the chemicals for BO) Also, if it's stuck in your ear for a long time, it keeps getting darker (it can go black like below)

So we missed the majority of the proper snow, but I still got to see some snowy conifers. And hopefully this year I'll manage to get the whole year's worth of photos of the valley and line them all up. I fell short by 4 weeks last year, so frustrating!

Photo taken from the footbridge over the river dargle at its source in the Wicklow Mountains National Park, Ireland.
The valley is called the Glensoulan Valley and is under a blanket of 25-30cm of snow.

The view is toward the valley, looking upstream. There's rocks with snow on them in the water.

A short distance upriver on the left, a lone, bare rowan tree stands. A little further to the left a lone conifer.

There are 5 hills surrounding the valley, closest on the left being Djouce, with War Hill behind it. Straight ahead in the distance is Kippure (I think) to the right is Tonduff, with Maulin closer. Behind the camera the Dargle becomes Powerscourt Waterfall.

The sky is cloudy, light in colour, a hint of grey in the distance, but also patches of clear blue sky can be seen here and there.

A narrow path extends between snow laden conifers, a small track has been carved in the snow. The sky is cloudy with a hint of late winter afternoon gold reflecting on the edges.

A view through conifer trees across the glacial basin into which the Powerscourt Waterfall, which is the focus of the image, flows. It is surrounded by snow. The gleaming white snow on the shoulder of Djouce mountain can be seen above and behind the waterfall

Right, so this is when it was freshly done, it has healed now but I haven't taken any pics because, well, I havent. I just wanted to show it off because I love it ❤️
