Heard this on Radio 3 last night:

Unlikely that you've ever heard anything like it before. The original was composed by Henry Purcell in 1688.
A more conventional version of that is:

The headline on this BBC news article is "Is there life floating in the clouds of Venus?"
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/sci...environment-54133538

Phosphine gas detected. Scientists are puzzled.

Best sentence from the article:
"For sure, you can make it industrially, but there are no factories on Venus; and there are certainly no penguins."

Evening all 

Weather was breezy but mild and the sun appeared in the afternoon.
It seems the governments are considering putting vulnerable people back into shielding so I rang my hairdresser this morning to ask if she could see me this week. Luckily, she had a space this afternoon so I am now shorn. 
Haven’t read back yet but I hope you’ve all had a good day 

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Ros and Moonie

loved both EL

night yogi moonsie velvet summer

Good morning everyone it's a quite cloudy morning after an uncomfortable night due to the heat. I hope it's cooler tonight, high temperatures at night are not what you need when you've already put the winter duvet back on. 

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

Sunshine and clouds here. Expected to be quite warm again. Squiggle, I'm not surprised you were uncomfortable with the winter duvet on.

Great twirl, shorn Yogi

I hope everyone has a good day

night  everybody

Good morning everyone it's a very eerie sky this morning with a massive black cloud over towards Wales. I'm sure the pirate ship will find a new home very quickly. 

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

Hazy sunshine here at present. No black clouds here, Squiggle.

A Cheltenham man has completed a 5 year hike around the British coastline (6 thousand miles). A few of the photos he took:

Good morning everyone  

Sunny start got the day here. Sunny intervals forecast for most of the day 

Hi squiggle, I hope your black cloud hovers off 

Hi El, well done to that gentlemen 

Sweet and Miss Bramble, Velvet I hope you’re all well and staying safe  

Have a great day and stay safe  

Finished my work on the church accounts this morning. I'd done the work back in February/March but the actual finalisation got put on hold due to the lockdown. Accounts have to be filed with the Charity Commission by 31 October so in a few weeks, I don't do that filing - that has to be done by the trustees as the filiing process includes an annual return where only they would have the knowledge to be able to answer many of the questions.
