Tomorrow evening it’ll be my annual duty to vaguely shepherd the activity on the #duvetknowitschristmas hashtag and urge people to give small sums to charity. 7.30pm? Something like that?

Sunday is the Winter Solstice in the northern hemisphere. The point in the year when daylight is at its shortest

Across the UK, daylight will be in short supply:
Less than 8 hours in the far south 🕑
And under 6 hours in the far north 🕑

Tapper: This is one of the documents the DOJ released. It’s 100 pages. It’s all black. That’s the transparency we’re getting.

I'm not sure what the hills alongside Woodhead Pass look like atm, but I pulled out behind a Landy yesterday that was carrying skis on the back!

A close-up, low-angle photograph of a brown, bell-shaped mushroom growing amongst vibrant green grass. The mushroom is centered and framed by two tall blades of grass in the foreground. The background features a soft, dreamy bokeh effect of trees and dappled sunlight in a forest setting.

Painterly Sky
Looking up at the sky at sunset on a warm summer evening. The blue sky looks like it has clouds created out of brushstrokes in shades of white, pale orange, grey and yellow

Channel 4 "The Sycamore Gap Mystery". Mystery?! Occam's razor. Stupid people. Must've been the easiest case the police & jury have ever been involved in!

A low-angle shot looking up into a dense forest canopy where a bright burst of sunlight pierces through the dark silhouettes of tree branches. Golden and brown autumn leaves are illuminated by the backlight, glowing warmly against the high contrast of the shaded trunks and the bright sky.

A cluster of small, white, glossy mushrooms growing densely on a fallen log in a forest. The forest floor is covered with brown leaves, and tall trees stand in the background with sunlight filtering through, creating a warm, natural atmosphere.
