Storm Claudia is about to sweep the nation and NOBODY has made a joke about a ‘fringe front’ moving in. Come on @metoffice.gov.uk

It’s me. Again.

If this is you in a camper van, parked at Eshaness lighthouse, for the love of God, switch your lights off!

You’ve been sat with your headlights on for over 45 mins 😂

You can’t see aurora if you sit in a van with all your lights on…

🚨AURORA🚨

Currently active and visible from the UK! If (and it’s a big if!) you have clear skies, pop out and take a look.

This is a screenshot from Shetland Webcam. I’d be very annoyed by the campervan with all its lights on!

The skies went a little bit biblical just after sunset this evening!

I worry about AI illiteracy. Over 6k people liked, shared and commented on these images and the vast majority are not questioning what they see and accept them as real, which I find utterly astounding but there we are. If people believe this bollocks is real, what won’t they believe?

After another grey day the sky tonight erupted as the sun set ☀️

Me: ‘why is the grass still growing so quickly?’

Temperature on Nov 5th: 18.5 degrees.

18.5 degrees Celsius in November!?

Look at this pure feast for the senses, the colours, the textures, the gorgeously voluptuous sloes, the wisened lichens and velvety mosses.

Autumnal bounty 🍂

If you can see the Moon tonight, you can also see Saturn!

Look for a small, but bright, light, roughly at the Moon’s 5 o’clock

5 word horror story for an author:

‘No one bought your book’

Or

‘Make a TikTok account now’

So weird. I was stood here yesterday.

Honourable mention to the brave souls flying INTO this beast of a hurricane in the name of science to better inform citizens on the ground.

The same scientists Trump wants to defund because he doesn’t like it when storms show him climate change is real.

Poor Jamaica. This hurricane is a monster. Really hope there’s aid prepared to get out there as soon as it’s safe and that no one is harmed. I can’t fathom the damage a storm like this could do. That thing is mind bogglingly huge and strong.

Got to see this wonderful human in the flesh last night and it made me feel a little less like an island in a sea of AI automated slop that people are throwing themselves to swim in with no thought for the impacts.

Thanks Ron. Bill. Nick Offerman.

Creatures released! Back into the Night!

Publication day is upon us and this very beautiful book is winging its way to those who pre-ordered it (thank you very much).

If you fancy learning about some weird and wonderful creatures that come out at night, please pick a copy up!

These creatures are released into the wild this THURSDAY!

I am SO excited about this being released ✨

I don’t know if I’m allowed to say this about my own book, but it’s so bloody beautiful and I’m really proud of it and the messages it holds ⭐️

Bigger than a Shetland, but daintier

Very much looking forward to being hosted by Pickering Book Tree for the North York Moors Dark Skies Festival in just over a weeks time ✨

Would be great to meet some of you there, but tickets are going fast, or so I’m told!

My Creatures are almost ready to be released into the wild!

What do you all think of my cover? She’s SO shiny! 🤩

Can anyone tell me what the title
Blue fungus type stuff is please?

It was on dead wood in a woodland in Wales
