It’s been good weekend for fun out with the family.

A small back and white terrier running towards you, on the beach in Brighton at low tide. The i360 tower is in the background.

As a summary of my week, I have mostly been protecting ducks from attack.

A bloke in a hat is holding on, at full stretch, to a lead connected to a small terrier. The terrier is splashing like crazy trying to get across the water (where there are duck).

The last edition will be March 2024. Ignore that photo. It’s not from the future. I cannot time travel. Repeat: I can NOT time travel.

The “Final Edition” of the Phone Book. I’m surprised that hadn’t been and gone already.

The possibilities for not just a fly-by: “If we launch in 2035, we arrive at Centauri A in 2092, with arrival at Centauri B roughly six days later and, finally, arrival at Proxima Centauri for operations there in a further 46 years.” https://www.centauri-dreams.org/2023/09/08/braking-at-centauri-a-bound-orbit-at-proxima/

Nice to have exhausted the dog

A dog lies in the grass, you can only see her head and front legs. She appears to be asleep under a blue sky.

Maybe it was one word. I didn’t take a photo.

Passed through a village called “Tiddly Wink” today. The sign was two words but… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiddleywink

Sometimes the simple adverts are the most tempting.

On a street corner, a sign saying “fancy a pint?” with an arrow pointing to the street on the left.

Important questions answered. “A fruit fly has landed in your wine—is it OK to drink?” Spoiler: Yes, it probably is. https://theconversation.com/a-fruit-fly-has-landed-in-your-wine-is-it-ok-to-drink-211847?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Latest%20from%20The%20Conversation%20for%20September%201%202023%20-%202724527536&utm_content=Latest%20from%20The%20Conversation%20for%20September%201%202023%20-%202724527536+CID_c3c783c1ad585c2fd53a047ccfa2cd11&utm_source=campaign_monitor_uk&utm_term=A%20fruit%20fly%20has%20landed%20in%20your%20wine%20%20is%20it%20OK%20to%20drink

Introducing the dog to swimming.

We just need to throw a live duck in the pool and I’ll be sorted.

A human is holding a tiny toy shark enticing a small black and white terrier down a ramp into water. The dog is not convinced that this is technically “fun”. The dog is wearing an ill-fitting floatation jacket just in case, and is almost up to her belly in water.
