The midnight sun over Narvik on the summer solstice 9 years ago!

Is this place picking up again? It seemed to lose momentum after it's last surge.

Anyone who prefers winter is a sociopath. You go to work in the dark, get home from work in the dark, it's relentlessly miserable. Roll on spring!

Oh it'll never be fixed. It's flaws were baked in permanently when the original plans for the M57 were scaled back. That won't stop the city region and DFT throwing millions upon millions at it though!

Yet another similar sized city to Liverpool doing what @metromayorsteve.bsky.social claims to be impossible. Building a tram network!

I never made the jump to mastadon but this does look like it could replace Twitter

Switch Island is going to be endless gridlock. And then after years of lobbying by local MPs and councillors the DFT will throw a billion or two at making it a proper motorway junction.

A new home for my shit shot glass collection!

I think I'll have to dig out the big gloves for tomorrow mornings cycle to the station!

I had no idea that Iceland had a cricket association but I'm glad that it does!

He's really good at announcing things.....

The Mayor is convinced he'll get the money. But getting money for trams is an impossibility!

They're currently saying it will cost ยฃ6bn. If it gets built I'd be surprised if it came in under ยฃ10bn. You could build an offshore wind farm large enough to power the whole of Merseyside and give every house a home battery to store energy for billions less!

This app feels like different friend groups meeting for the first time. Everyone is desperate not to expose themselves as the arsehole!

Posted a photo of a heron. My feed is now almost entirely made up of other people's photos of herons. I love algorithms!

Betws-y-Coed is nice and it has a Heron!

We're not far off it already. Every conversation about trying to reduce traffic on the school run is full of parents who have convinced themselves that walking half a mile to school is impossible for their children and as good as a death sentence!

A bit quiet here but I haven't saw anyone calling for mass deportations of ethnic groups they don't like. So overall an upgrade on X
