Wow. I had not realised I'd not been on here since May last year. I am now much more active on https://bsky.app/profile/slartyb.bsky.social
In the mean time, here is a drawing I'm working on.

It's great that small villages put up these so you can find the nearest pub.
Oh .. my .. goodness! I wasn't expecting much, but the #aurora tonight was SPECTACULAR!! Could see the colours as well with my eyes, but they were definitely there. It filled half the sky!

Lucky toad.
I was digging in my garden and almost impaled this toad on my garden fork, then almost squashed it when I picked it up thinking it was a round pebble! Put it out of harms way and covered it with soil again. It then popped out one eye so it could keep a lookout.

A different astronomy and space science related image is featured each day, along with a brief explanation.

And here is the egg amongst all its friends 😊
(The square, cube and teapot are not intrinsic shapes, but made up of triangles, or Bezier patches, which are)
Fixed it😊
OK. Now I have a curate's egg.
Why are some triangles OK, and some are not? It's the same code that generates both. Sigh ....
