Eating any animal is very weird, but I agree that there's something special about ducks! Here are Stubby and Mr Stubbs, who are staying with us over the winter! Stubby came to us over the summer. She's got a dodgy leg, and part of her tail is missing, but she is thriving! #Duck #Ducks

From 1969 #Apollo #BlueSpace #Moon
Scrapbook page showing a very young Patrick Moore at his telescope, with a closeup of the moon in backdrop. The article is headed "What I believe they'll find...". There's a large block of text below the picture (too much to try to put here, for which I apologise).

My dear father (88) just had a bit of a clearout, and found my scrapbook from 1969! I'm so grateful to him for keeping it. The 8 year old, glued to the TV, led to my lifelong interest in #space, and my eventual career in the #SatCom sector. Thanks Dad! This 🧵 shares some of the stuff I saved...

Hi Miles, many thanks for pointing this out. I'm rather pleased that I have managed to configure my handle to use my own domain. It was quite easy to do and seems to be working fine!

I get that follower count is not the be all and end all of Bluesky, but it was nice to check my account this morning and find that I now have more than 1,000 followers! The number seems to be rounded to the nearest 0.1K. Does anybody know if there is a way to see the actual number of followers?
