Northern Lights, part one
       |        |       | | By way of explanation for the pictures taken today and in the early hours of Saturday. We got a message from A****** at 23:14 with an intriguing picture of some aurora borealis type effect in the skies over Liverpool. I initially suspected another wind-up, but as the Horton's left our house a bit later, we noticed 'something' in the skies. Sat out in the back garden, something was definitely going on, and many pictures ensued. At first, I was hurrying to get my camera set up, and so the focus (and various other settings) wasn't set correctly. Eventually I managed to get the camera configured correctly, and pointed the camera at various parts of the sky with a 10 - 15 second exposure. Definitely one of those rare events where the phenomena was strong enough to reach us in this part of the country AND there were no clouds. Incredible.

It is far more difficult to produce a fermionic superfluid than a bosonic one
      |       |     | | I feel some explanation is required here. After a quick pit-stop at this intriguing café on the outskirts of Winchester, we headed for a walk around Farley Mount, followed by lunch at the Plough Inn, Sparsholt. During a little break on our walk, we took a few pictures with us sat on a bench. M**** was trying to explain or demonstrate (or both) to Bethany the process around 'photobombing', hoping that Bethany might be able to photobomb a picture of us lot. As you can tell, it didn't really work out, but never mind.

I think this would have worked better if the tarn had appeared slap-bang in the middle of the picture but . . . ah well, better than nothing. I like how the tarn looks much more blue than the sky, somehow. This is along the path to Nicky Nook, approaching from the side of Wyresdale Park.

Another strange item of spam
I'm guessing that due to ever-improving spam filters, the spammers have to try harder to get our attention. I found this item in my spam folder recently:
Hi
Are Faster Payments subject to a fee? And that was it. There was no link, an unremarkable subject ("Monday Process") . . . nothing else. Perhaps the writer envisaged that my curiosity would be peaked so much that I would have to reply. I mean, are they subject to a fee?! And how fast is faster?! Are slower payments subject to less of a fee? And what payments are we talking about here?! So many questions . . .
