We went to watch The Orb last night in Shrewsbury Buttermarket. Quite an interesting night, but watching Alex Paterson twiddling Pioneer decks, with three others on laptops is now what I expected.

After such a beautifully clear day, tonight's sky is unsurprisingly magical. So many stars (but still no Redwings). Thanks as ever to @csmaff.bsky.social for the inspiration to step outside and #lookup

A Happy #DayOfDredd to all who celebrate.
The album cover for 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' by The Beatles, except the Fab Four and their cardboard friends have been replaced by Judge Dredd and his impressive gallery of allies and enemies. No, I'm not going to name all of them, and yes, while it is quite possible that the character you really like isn't in there, I make no apology for their absence. Batman, Predator, Alien and The Biker Mice From Mars are all missing because I wanted this to be a tribute to Rebellion.

Who or What am I? Hint 1: One of the truly migratory European butterflies, they can be seen on the south coast almost every year but occurrences in the rest of the UK varies considerably from year to year - more this year than some. A descriptive hint at noon.
