Also, remember that you are on a bench rather than a chair, so don't lean back

Very wise words! Thank you Chris!

A small flotilla of volunteers set off to seek the good ship Dockside Gallery.

I stop and look at the picture first with the intention of recording as much of it as possible in my mind. Then I read your caption and laugh my head off. One of my favourite types of comedy is describing an event in minute detail whilst highlighting it's silly side. Your pictures hit that mark ever...

Brilliant picture for this very funny story. Goodnews Bay, excellent

Following on from the Wolf Moon of January...the Worm Moon of March The moon's a bit red just now due to dust moving up from Spain.

Fascinating stuff, Randi. You could navigate by the pools. It's a bit mind boggling

That's interesting, Caro

Couldn't see them earlier on because my glasses were so mucky - oopsie!

Ah you are all made of sterling stuff then! I've given up looking at the lozenges - too weird for me

Prepare for some eye-wobblers! Oxford University and your brain.

Entertaining brain stuff. Got to admit that the top image of the lozenges made me feel a bit seasick

Nice one Chris!
You see a plotted journey and it looks so tidy and interesting. This workshop shows just exactly how much goes into those elegant pieces of work. Well done the Editors, well done Maikel!

That's epic, truly epic - and there's a bit of whaler to add to that I guess

I went looking for them after listening to their song "When the ship hit the sand" on Highlander Radio.

They're good! Tried 'Sam's gone away' for a starter - very good singing. Nice one, Stuart

I agree with you, Stuart. If you don't have very dark skies you can see the 'marker' stars that limit the shape you are counting in. If you have dark skies it's almost too confusing, which is a nice problem to have I guess

I got very excited by the thought of Naval hedgehogs
