Between the floods, earthquakes, volcano eruptions and hurricanes already taken place this year, I’m starting to think the planet may have had enough of us. 😩

However the devil will be in the detail and I do also think social media should step up to protect children and any user of its platforms better.

I probably look at the social media ban from a slightly different lens than others however after we found out my (then) teenage brother was being groomed via social media and having had friends who were pushed towards suicidal intentions from it, I’m happy to see today’s proposal.

My bets are on him standing behind Healy with an agreement for a good place in the cabinet should Healy win to help raise his profile.

You’re being kind giving it to September. I absolutely do not want to see any further movement towards reform but I believe Burnham will be the final straw towards a hard right push for many and likely will secure Farage no 10 in the next election. Which is terrifying!

This is great news, especially for those who rent and cannot install perm ones on their roofs or have roofs that face in less than ideal directions but possibly a window part of the garden facing in the right. They also need to bring in the low/0% loans for all though for perm installations.

Missed the aurora on Monday night due to 🌧️ but managed to catch a faint red and green glow to the eye last night so grabbed the @omsystem.bsky.social camera out. While it’s been a busy couple of years, seeing it in the South west of the UK is still pretty rare. Still amazed every time it shows.

In a position where once the drive pack ends, if we can’t renew it for another 12 months, this change means we’ll be shopping around and potentially leaving octopus, which I’d really prefer not to do.

Donna 🤿🫧 @littledj.bsky.social · 08/12/2025
Good to know, will there be options to renew or rejoin the drive pack instead next year at all (ours expires in April)? The new policy won’t work for us as the EV is away from the home mon-Fri so little and often not possible. However arguably we charge less on average per week than others. I’m now

@octopus.energy I’ve seen lots of noise over the IOG fair usage policy being integrated as a key term on how charges are done. Are you speaking to charger manufacturers to stop them throttling charges? I’ve seen my Zappi charging our car at 6kw multiple times and nothing I have done to cause this.

Trying to plan a dive trip for my 40th with Indonesia leading the pack. However the logistical juggling required to get from one part to another so we can do 1 week in each area is blowing my brain so much I’m now too overwhelmed to book anything and will probably end up staying home! 😂 🦑

Farage is basically doing the same as he did for brexit - telling the right what they want to hear with very little proof of how that will work or evidencing the numbers. Unfortunately it seems to be working.

I feel it’s too little too late for many, especially after yesterdays reform nugget over benefits. I can’t recall another time in my lifetime where the UK was so divided. I feel like a political orphan as believe Starmer and Reeves are no good but don’t want Farage and his trope in either.

It’s World Ocean Day! Here’s a reminder that 70% of our world is ocean, most of it not yet explored. In the areas that are often visited there is plenty of evidence that, even without seeing it all, it’s worth protecting. #worldoceanday #marinelife 🦑 #underwater #scuba

Its mouth is open, looking like it’s laughingA whale shark, body curved upwards towards the lights above with mouth open. It is surrounded by small fish. An octopus, hiding in a small coral rocky area amongst a sandy. It has camouflaged itself in purples, pinks and white to match its hiding place.  There is a diver swimming in the background making it look like the octopus is hiding from the diver. A curious cuttlefish facing the camera with its tentacles loosely hung in front of it.

As it’s national ocean month I’d be remiss to not share some more photos. For the sake of conservation and the possibility it’s still there I won’t share location on this one but to say there was happy dancing on finding this is an understatement #marinelife 🦑 #scuba #underwaterphotography #travel

Home from an awesome trip to Malta and more learning curves with the camera set up. Sharing one of my fave photos from the trip. While #marinelife is still a little sparse in Malta, it’s good to see some changes being put into limit over tourism. #diving #scubadiving #malta #travel

Late post this week thanks to being on day 4 of suspected food poisoning from a Dominos Pizza… A little moray eel peeking out from below some interesting corals. The eyes remind me of the googly eye often used on objects for comedic effect 😂 #marinelife 🦑 #underwaterphotography #scubadiving
A small moray eel partially hidden beneath some blue green coral structure. The eel is looking towards the camera with its mouth open as though it’s smiling. 

This type of eel has white eyes with a black pupil.

The 1 year view unfortunately still shows its up overall. Hopefully it continues to fall and doesn’t stop! It’s a shame that he’s managed to place such a weak board that won’t oust him!

Thank you Jo! My assumption only went as far as it being a hermit crab, the hairy legs are certainly unique! I love that it looks like there are barnacles that have also made themselves at home on his shell.

A weird looking little fella for this week. I almost missed him as his shell was so well disguised in with the surrounding area. It was the yellow and blue flashes that caught my eye. #scubadiver #underwaterphotography #marinelife 🦑 #andamansea

About 4 years ago I had an idea to mount my awesome dive map onto a magnet board surrounded by magnets from our dive holidays. Today I made it a reality and realised I need more holidays 🤣 7 destinations in 7.5 years! Hopefully more to come! #scubadiver #travel #scubadiving #holidays

I’m hoping that the ties between the UK and Europe become much more closely entwined again. While our PM doesn’t seem to have the appetite to rejoin or even allow a vote on it, I’m glad to see him working closely with the EU leadership again.

I’m fairly sure the cult following he has who likely own shares in Tesla is the only reason the rest of the board haven’t called for a vote of no confidence in him. Horrible human being!

I’d never seen a cowrie shell that wasn’t a decorative item so I may have got a little excited when I spotted this tucked in the rocks on a slope, especially when I realised they’re actually naturally shiny! 🤣 I don’t know if anything was living inside as I didn’t dare disturb it 🦑 #marinelife

Given the shape of the fin I’d agree on eagle ray. The only other spotted creature I can think of would that would be a possibility would be whale shark but the pattern of spots is wrong and it looks like the wrong shape for a whale shark dorsal fin.

Just looked it up, the teeth on those things!!! I think I’m rather glad they’re rare in the UK, at the moment the only sealife I see at our home dive sites as big as me are congers and they look more like puppies when they’re tucked away in their holes.
