Managed to point a telescope at the Sun, during a quieter moment this morning. Had planned to hitch a camera for a direct photo rather than this projection effort, but the seeing went off soon after. 🔭 1/2

Nottingham university looking quite nice today
Looking over the lake to one of the buildings of Nottingham university (no idea what it is!) past two Chinese dragon statues. Two orange autumnal trees frame the building.

Realised that thanks to the muffin rings, a homemade Egg McMuffin was within my grasp, and I do not regret it.
An egg frying in a muffin ring in a carbon steel panHomemade english muffin, fork-split, with butter and sliced extra mature cheddar ready to goThe circular fried egg on one of the muffin halves, with cheddar and black pepperThe whole ersatz Egg McMuffin assembled. IT WAS LOVELY.

It’s true. We are publishing a mini-collection by this talented writer. Normally we publish stories singly, in pairs. If that makes sense. Something made us break that pattern.
