Halfway through November,
and Arctic sea ice is missing in the Atlantic sector:
Hudson Bay,
Baffin Bay & Labrador sea (fell out of the "normal" zone),
and the Barents Sea.

Yesterday it was time to put the garlic in the ground.
1. first find the planting tray and clear away the snow,
2. dig in the bokashi,
3. put in 50 garlic cloves, and
4. top it all off with a blanket of snow

The River Cherwell feeds into the River Thames. The River Thames fills up Farmoor reservoir. Farmoor reservoir supplies water to approx 600,000 people. Including my house.
As well as letting it kill our wildlife, we are drinking this stuff.

🚨 SHOCKING 🚨
A HUGE illegal waste dump has appeared between the A34 and River Cherwell, linked to organised crime.
Every rainfall risks toxins washing into the river.
We’re calling on the Environment Agency & Cherwell Council to act NOW.
Our rivers cannot wait. 👇👇

🪸 New study reports VERY high densities of marine debris on
the deep seafloor of the Jordanian Gulf of Aqaba, northern Red Sea: 4,975 - 79,840 items per km2 (mean = 27,267 items/km2)!
48% were #plastics and highest densities were observed near a public beach 🏖️.

Dette er ei mørk uke for alle som er opptatt av et bedre tilbud på tog til og fra utlandet. I går kom nyheten om at det ikke blir noen forbedringer av togtilbudet mellom Trondheim og Sverige - tross at man har elektrifisert og ruster opp banen for 2 mrd kroner.
Togtilbudet på Meråkerbanen etter elektrifisering
Jernbanedirektoratet har besluttet at dagens togtilbud med SJ Norge fortsetter som planlagt mot 2028 etter elektrifiseringen av Meråkerbanen er ferdig vinteren 2025.

A total of 36,2 million tons of cargo was shipped on the Northern Sea Route in 2025. A major part of it was carried by 'shadow fleet' ships unsuitable for sailing in the Arctic

And the Russian sea route administration that previously provided updated public information about Arctic ship traffic no longer delivers reliable data.
