You might want to sit down for this post.....😂 I actually spotted the shiny golden thing in the sky this morning. It was trying hard to hide behind some stubborn low cloud but we got there in the end. Photo taken not long after sunrise on Glastonbury Tor.

As the mist swept across Glastonbury Tor, the crescent moon was rising. Taken about 45 minutes before sunrise this morning.

Look at that shiny thing in the sky! Not sure how long it will last but I thought photographic evidence of the fact that the sun does actually exist was a good idea 😂. Photo taken this morning in Glastonbury. ☀️

The endless column inches, YouTube videos, podcasts and more given over to the largely non-existent rightwards shift of young men is exhausting. A small fraction are getting radicalised by the online right. But most young men vote left and liberal! Even more so than millennials did at their age!

132 years ago, on the 7th of February 1894, the Cripple Creel miners' strike began after two mine owners planned to lengthen the workday from 8 to 10 hours without increasing the daily wage. The strike ended on June 12th with a union victory despite state militia interference. #otd #history 🗃️

The next calendar vote for my 2027 calendar is for January. There are not many good images from January due to the fact that I think we had about two dry days 😂So here are the choices and in fact two of these were on the same day! 1. Fire & Ice 2. The Volcano 3. Birthday Sunrise. 4. The Candle

279 years ago, on the 31st of January, the first venereal diseases clinic opened at London Lock Hospital? It is mentioned by name in the song 'The Unfortunate Lad' (lyrics in thread). It was establish in a period where, due to the decline of leprosy, lazar hospitals fell out of use. #otd #history 🗃️

Removal Reluctance
I had to remove a student for disrupting my lesson. But, like many teachers, my reluctance to do so meant I removed them too late. Here’s why, and what I should have done differently.

A light in the darkness. This morning on Glastonbury Tor. at about sunrise time. It seemed to take a long time to get light today due to very low cloud blanketing the Tor. It was eerie but really quite beautiful.

Believe it or not, it is time to start work on my Glastonbury 2027 Calendars. I do votes so that people can help me choose images. So I thought we could start with one of the most challenging months, May. In May the light can be quite harsh and4am starts every day makes it tough going up for sunrise

Bees need flowers to survive. We need bees to survive. Bees are dying. If everyone would "accidentally" scatter native flower seeds in public areas, the public areas would be prettier, the bees could survive, and we could survive. I see no downside.

This, please.
Prayer for Uninteresting Times
 
Send me a slow news day,
a quiet, subdued day,
in which nothing much happens of note,
save for the passing of time,
the consumption of wine,
and a re-run of Murder, She Wrote.

Grant me a no news day,
a spare-me-your-views day,
in which nothing much happens at all,
except a few hours together
some regional weather,
a day we can barely recall.
