4 year old wanted a Grogu pumpkin this year... I think it came out okay
Set up for an evening of looking at Saturn through my telescope and I appear to have made a friend. Very friendly but she keeps rubbing against the tripod and knocking everything out of focus. #adoptedbyacat
@Cal Don't think it was bad at all. It was thin (2cm or so) and less than 20cm wide. At least it could all go into the recycling!

New brush day, trying out #rosemaryandco for the first time.

Unwinding after a long week at work.

Introduced the boys to Flash Point, 4 year old not happy with fire fighters being not being "dressed". So guess who is priming on a Saturday night!

Used our own compost for the first time this year for our pots. Were very confused when these plants started appearing in all of them.

Think they must be pumpkins, the source of which was the discarded seeds from carving the boys jack o lanterns!
Lessons learned: sift compost before use and make the boys carve turnips like I had to!

Ok, internet, I need your help. I have discovered an enjoyment of cricket as something for background sound at work, but cannot find anywhere to listen to old audio recordings of matches. I've tried listening to youtube videos, but they're not meant to be audio only and it shows.

What i really want is like an archive of TMS match broadcasts or something, but am Canadian so #BBC website does me no good. Does what i want exist?

The #Euclid mission released their first engineering test images today.

Exciting! But why do the bright stars in the images have 6 points?

Euclid test images tease of riches to come

Euclid’s two instruments have captured their first test images. The mesmerising results indicate that the space telescope will achieve the scientific goals that it has been designed for – and possibly much more.

Rugby in July, feels a bit odd!
