Since Hogwarts is my home, staying home for Christmas seems to be not so bad ...
I always liked this time of the year, the snowy silence full of expectations, the soft tinking of bells, occasionally interrupted by singing armours or suddenly swooping snowballs.
Although there is still much homework to do, I'm really looking forward to one of our pleasurable Christmas traditions and the best sport ever : Base-jumping in the restricted section!
But first we have to get our portkey to Stonehenge to celebrate the Solstice and the Christmas Star in the Great Conjunction 🌠 - oh, what a night!
🎄❄️⛄⚡🎄
Happy Solstice & Merry Christmas!

I did have help from Google and Youtube...........so here you have a 65mm Cube, Blood Sweat and Tears !
Solving puzzles is a hobby, addiction or compulsiveness? This is not as easy as it seems the maze pass is just barely big enough for the BB to fall through and really easy to come back out LOL. It is a close up, the puzzle is right at 3 inch across. I thought it was too big so quartered the puzzle to a 1-1/2 inch square frame to make it macro.
Problems to be solved. Entering the creative space where problems swirl and answers form.

"You did the right thing, yeah
When you went and looked my way
I know, I know what you wanna say
You wrote it all on your face
(On, on, your)
Just beam me up, beam me up, leave me, don't bring me down
You've been fighting from the gallows
The shadows just come on out
(But you know)
It's all good when it's all bad
Be hurting all day but it's all math
You're losing your brain
And falling right back
It's all good when it's all bad
Been looking all day but it's all math
Just solve the equation
Get it all back." - QUIÑ ♫
I think I’ve solved our winter energy crisis!
When the lights get turned off between 4 and 7 on those dark winter nights you just need to turn on a few fairy lights!
Problem solved!
I would suggest that there is a double benefit in that when they stop working, you could just sauté then in a little butter and that’s supper sorted too, however these bonnets are not toxic but have no nutritional value, a bit like a cream cracker in that respect.
So far I’ve collected about 150 and arranged them strategically around the house and guess what happened when I turned all the lights off…….…..yes, **** all!
The drawing board beckons, or was it the corkscrew?
Timmy’s biggest problem right now is getting enough cuddles. With this heat, I hardly ever see him except at 7:30 a.m. for breakfast and at 9:30 p.m. for dinner. If I’m lucky, like now, he hears me when I go out to the garden in the early evening. He comes out, still half-asleep, and climbs up his ladder. I have to go down two steps on the little staircase to the garden. Then our heads are at the same height, and we can relax and cuddle to our hearts’ content.

The inside of Visionary featuring the about me section. Clue is a game that allows you to use critical thinking. You simply put clues together. Second life is one big clue game. Poke enough your character comes out. You can change pawn after pawn..but you character stays the same. Now you find out who is working with your enemy. Give that person just enough information and watch how it finds your enemy. Now, you know the murder weapon. Then you find out what you have in common with them...and boom there is your room. Case solved I see you all.
There were many questions with my last post of the red bellied woodpeckers but this solves the problem everyone had. Such a wonderful pair and delight to photograph !
Wishing everyone a memorable Memorial Day and a Day we give thanks to the men who fought and gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom . We think of their families and friends and pray for them today and always !! Thank you !
A first run at this object with my own setup, guided exposures. Guiding graph was quite exceptional with RMS error at 0.03" then later 0.07" but I tossed away 1/2 my lights over 2 nights due to some trailing at the edges. Discovered this was due to the reducer slightly unscrewed. Some high cloud in a couple of the shots made the seeing wobbly so guiding wasn't perfect all night. Will add more data next time we have clear skies. Everything was iced up after 2 nights outside in -4 deg C temps, but dew band heaters kept going. So did I by sitting indoors and watching it all on Teamviewer! I still have a little amp glow on the right from the 700D! Updated the HC and MC on the mount too, but still not totally satisfied with the way it is performing. Everything looks pretty tight but the Alt axis is still 'rocking' slightly in its locked position.

“As if everybody here would know
Exactly what I was talking about
Talking about diamonds on the soles of her shoes”
I, for one, never could figure out what Paul Simon was talking about. Maybe it was snowflakes on the soles of her shoes? :-)
Rooks (Corvus frugilegus) are highly intelligent, gregarious members of the crow family (Corvidae) known for their complex social structures, unique appearance, and remarkable problem-solving abilities that rival those of great apes.
While not known for tool manufacturing in the wild, captive rooks have shown astonishing cognitive abilities in studies. They have been observed bending wire into hooks to reach food, a skill previously thought unique to New Caledonian crows.
Rooks have been observed engaging in "anting," where they rub ants into their feathers to use the formic acid as a pesticide. More drastically, a rook has been documented holding a smouldering cigarette butt under its wing to fumigate parasites.
A group of rooks is known by several collective nouns, including a "parliament," a "clamour," a "storytelling," or a "building".

I was at a loss with this one with both location and loco number "mixed goods near Portsmouth" is noted on the print.
With many thanks to Night Mail and [https://www.flickr.com/photos/thechairsrailwayphots] for identfying the location as Bevois Park, Southampton.
