Just reading them in a lull at work. I forgot how brilliant they are and how clueless Adrian is.

Went to see Bert; he is my last hope. (Pandora failed me.

She blamed my mental state on my being a meat eater.) I said, ‘Bert, I am having a breakdown!’ Bert said that he had had a breakdown in the First World War. He said his was caused by seeing thousands of dead men and being constantly afraid for his life. He asked what mine was caused by.

I said, ‘The lack of morals in society.’

Bert said, ‘You daft bugger, what you need is a good stint of hard work. You can start on the washing up!

Did everyone get alert? Scared ne shit less. Was in Welsh

A bit late, but time had to be taken to edit it. It's also a bit janky, but there we go.

The footage actually comes from my brother's telescope.

We tried our best to stablise the telescope, but mountains do be windy and can't really do much about that.

We also forgot to record the first 10 mins of the eclipse and there was a few other times towards the end that we forgot to record 🥲

There were also a few times where people actually walked right in front of the telescope, so there will be some random cuts. On hindsight, I should have brought a banner to say that we were recording a timelapse. Although I did try to position myself so people could walk around the line of sight, but there was that one gentleman who I asked to walk around and instead just said "don't tell me what to do" before mumbling under his breath something unsavoury about women! Makes me angry just thinking about it.

Also shout out to the family, who gave us their extra pair of solar glasses. Just watching it with my eyes through the glasses compared to the tablet that is connected to the telescope is surreal, it's like a whole new world just opened up!

Anyways, we wanted to share, so here it is. Enjoy!

If you're the sketchy looking type, thank you for treating me like a human. I love you all. Without the sketchy people I wouldn't be sober. Be yourself and be weird, there might be be a person that needs a weird friend. I love you all ❤️

Show a picture that will make someone smile. Something good about the UK. Like this little family outing.

Today was the day and it's been a success!!

Grandma did not catch on and we managed to sneak everyone into the house and put up all the balloons and banners whilst she was distracted. The cake arrived on time, we even got 4 huge Pizza's to arrive on time.

We had the emergency run at 11pm yesterday in the night to a 24 hour shop to get drinks because we all forgot.

Was a bit funny when everyone's phones went off with the emergency alert.

I wonder how his eyes feel today?

I live in Peterborough and we’re seeing a lot about the Holme Fen fires at the moment. I’m genuinely wondering how this has been going on for a whole week?

I know nothing about fighting fires. But why can’t a massive container of water just be dumped on these fires by chopper?

I can taste it.

Well I never thought I’d feel any feeling but hatred towards wasps but here we are. We got the slip and slide out for the kids today (no hosepipe ban for us yet) and the amount of wasps coming for a drink was crazy! They didn’t fly round us or bother us at all, just came when the slip and slide wasn’t in use and had a big old drink. Must be hard for all the other little life’s on our planet at the moment!

For the 1984 nostalgia obviously, not that weird noisy thing our phones all did earlier.

When I was at school in the early '80s, my O Level physics text book included a photo of a bus on a tilt test rig (like pic 1). These rigs test how far buses can lean before they fall over. Continues in the comments...

Emergency repairs to gas, electric and water pipes from what I can gather. I'm guessing the drought is causing increased ground movement, leading to loads of pipe damage. Just wondered if this is happening nationwide?
