Am thinking of anyone in the UK who has to complete a self-assessment tax return for the HMRC by today ....
Thank goodness I only have one job, and my employer deals with all of this!

After 20+ years of #NorthernLights false alarms by @drlindadykes.bsky.social, she hit the jackpot tonight and called me outside in a hurry for an amazing spectacle! Still shocked it was so visible under clear skies as far south in the UK as #Herefordshire.
2nd pair best seen in a darkened room!

I was anticipating it'll would be too warm for #StormGoretti to drop snow on us in #Herefordshire, and it was just very heavy rain, but it all changed in 39 mins.
That said, just taken the dogs for a walk and it's now falling as sleet with the snow turning to slush.

There's a #fullmoon tomorrow morning at 10:04am in the UK, so perfect conditions this evening at the #smallholdingdream to see it. And a plane in flight too.

Just heard this song, which was a 1997 hit, on @bbcradio2bot.bsky.social and it's a reminder of what is still a great ad for the Beeb as well asbeing an amazing performance.

This morning's #smallholdingdream photos were inspired by the U1 song whose lyrics start with "All is quiet on New Year's Eve" ....

Amazingly cold and clear skies for this evening's #fullmoon 🌕
Not sure where the Milo the 🥷 got to for the photos but managed to get the other two to stand or sit still long enough for them not to be too blurry.

Brandy the Shetland pony doing her morning Top Gun impersonation; but more "I feel the need, the need for feed" than "... speed". 😁
Brandy can't stay out with the other two ponies in the far paddock, as that would be too much grass for her, so hence the morning releases / escapes at present.
