Attention All Shipping

PeerTube

I like listening to the shipping forecast. I just don’t like being awake to do so.
At least it isn’t the early edition today.

Good morning lovely people πŸ’• πŸ’•
Welcome to another freaky Friday.

Charity shop this morning, is about all I have planned for today. Possibly a bit of reading later on, and the obligatory crochet 🧢 😁
The motivation just isn't with me currently.

Sending massive love and hugs to you all

If you are a seafarer, you are likely to pay heed to the daily shipping forecasts giving advance warnings of sea conditions.
Learned recently that this year the Shipping Forecast, as broadcast daily on BBC radio, is celebrating the centenary of the very first transmission.
The daily recitation of sea conditions to be expected in the enigmatically-named sea areas has developed something of a cult following.
The nightly script, which some say is akin to poetry, has its very own musical prelude, namely 'Sailing By', composed by Ronal Binge.
At just after 12.45am on BBC Radio Four, the broadcast delivers a forecast for 31 marine areas, followed by inshore coastal weather forecasts and current reports from coastal weather stations all around the UK.

The rhythm & calm authority of the #ShippingForecast; for 100 years on the #BBC, it’s guided sailors & soothed listeners across the #BritishIsles. 🌧️🌊

My paintings #AttentionAllShipping & #SailingBy capture a little of that magic, the #poetry of weather, sea & sound.

Did you know? 100 years ago today, the @BBC broadcast the #ShippingForecast for the very first time, produced by the Met Office for @MCA_media.

More than just a lifesaver, it’s become a beloved part of Britain’s cultural identity - a thread 🧡1/3
