Duolingo achivement of the Month.
Plus, an example of why live translation (for Welsh) may not be coming anytime soon: These sentences have almost reversed word order!

Son has been selling his 3D printed planes for a week now.
Now he is planning to sell these. The turrets rotate!
The planes were £1. What do you think he should ask for the Battleship?

I work in an office full of doctors and professors, some of the brightest minds in the UK – yet nobody can set the coffee machine to BST. It’s been an hour behind all summer… but no one cares. The clocks go back in less than a month anyway.

My son will be selling these 3D printed planes tomorrow at his school. His idea. He picked out the designs, the colours and has used my 3D printer (under supervision). £1 each. Wish him luck.

Look who will be joining us for our Bonfire Night party later in the season. The Happy Trolls!
Stocked up on the fireworks before the prices go up. Excellent local shop here in Ipswich.
What do you love most about Bonfire Night?

I've waited all summer for this to flower! So happy! What a beautiful colour.
Just wish I knew what it was... Bought it in Northumberland.
Happy Friday everyone from a Sunny Ipswich, UK.

So lucky to acquire this fire bar from the loco Sir Nigel Gresley at the Greatest Gathering. bottle cap for scale. I love it, but... I can’t for the life of me think what to do with it. Thinking of making it into a garden ornament, but suggestions are welcome…

I took this photo at the WWII commemoration parade in London a few months ago: a reminder that people of all nations stood together to defeat fascism. Flags should symbolise unity, not hate. Ignore the far-right noise: the UK’s true strength is in diversity and respect for all. All are welcome here.

Nuclear power stations are meant to be cleaner, greener and more efficient, but seeing forest and farmland scraped away like this isn't right. Increasing energy consumption, whatever the production method, is a threat to our world. We can’t bulldoze nature to save it. #Nuclear #Nature

I have three weather apps on my phone, but I still judge the weather by eye.
I don't trust those clouds in the west. I'm taking a brolly just in case.

Built my confidence (and my son's PC) this weekend with #ChatGPT as my sidekick 👊
🔧 Swapped the PSU
🔧 Added RAM
🔧 Installed a GTX 1650 SUPER
🔧 Updated drivers & more
We (both) made some mistakes, but I learned loads as we brought this old PC back to life. Amazing way to learn tech hands-on.

Listening to Alison Goldfrapp’s fantastic new CD while I work, and found a signed photo in the sleeve! 🤯

Busy summer wrapping up content for the new @UCL_STEaPP Online MSc 🌍
Celebrating 50% more enrolment than targeted, on the UCL Roof Garden 🎉
Even played with AI photo enhancements. Which do you prefer? The AI dream, or the honest British Summer?

Un cam bach, ond un balch – tipyn bach o Gymraeg bob dydd. 🏴🦉
A small step, but a proud one - slowly adding to my Welsh vocabulary each day.

Is this hilarious self-awareness, or slightly unsettling décor?
Date night at a steak restaurant… and on the wall, a Gary Larson Far Side cartoon of cows eating steak.
Not sure… but it did make me laugh.

Evenings by the coast and riverside. The light changes, the air feels clearer, and suddenly everything slows down. Sometimes the best reset is just a walk outdoors. 🌅

Helping my son upgrade his PC has been a joy. It’s not just about faster graphics – it’s the excitement of learning together, problem-solving, and sharing in the things he loves. 💻🎮

Had to share this.
I honestly couldn't find the dragon, said to be hidden on my castle map. Downloaded the original and asked GPT5 to find in for me.
Not impressed. It has circled the "Dragon" with a green circle.
Can you see the simple error it made? The tiny mistake? The subtle misunderstanding?
