A pool in a small peaty burn. There is a waterfall at the head of the pool. The water is frothy. The pool is surrounded by moss and bracken.

Likes Sign the MPAs Petition.

The government was originally required to get these measures in place by 2016, and then by 2020. But by 2024, little has been done.

This cannot go on. The Scottish government must end the delays and act now to take this crucial step in helping our seas recover.

I’ve noticed a few follows & folk to follow appearing on Bluesky today. I wonder if they have been driven from X by the latest mess. I’ve been exploring Bluesky, more so Mastodon & less Threads. Treating them as distribution for my blog. Micro.blog is excellent glue for Posse & a nice place.

Read: The Last Voice You Hear by Mick Heron ★★★ 📚
Effective Detective as you would expect. Maybe a bit too much physical action for me. Nice twist to end setting up further stories.

Grid of photos from top left: interesting 'street lamp' against a blue sky; blue corrugated iron gate; artwork by Charles Poulsen; The harbour to silhouetted figures walk towards the end of the pier B&W; map of when the photos were taken; broken pieces of sea wall; Three colorful slatted wooden chairs against a stone wall, with pittenweem and the sea in the background.;Rounded dormer window on a roof with slate shingles and a stone pigeon sculpture on top; osebay willow herb plants growing on top of a stone wall against a cloudy sky.

Wandering round the Pittenweem Art Festival yesterday. The village is fascinating, a jumble of twists & turns. I particularly enjoyed the work of Pauline Burbidge, Charles Poulsen & Sophie Demery.

Read: The Lost Wife by Susanna Moore ★★★★☆ 📚
Short but engaging fiction based on a real life memoir. Settlers & Sioux clash in 1855. The narrator, Sarah, has no self pity despite a troubled life. Felt like a realistic picture of the times both filthy & surprising. Characters are complex.

  • RT by @andywightman: Very concerning that woodland creation appears to have been conflated with tree planting, which is the entire focus of this press release - natural regeneration doesn't get a mention. Will the summit be the same?
