Recording our planet’s rotation looking south tonight. Watch it to see if you can spot the geostationary satellites in the star trails.

An absolutely amazing sunset behind our wee bit of the world this evening. Another path cut through some trees backing on to the moss and another rock probably from around the ice age when the moss was created uncovered.

Excellent. Old guys on bikes. Henry and Allen did eventually set the world record for the fastest speed two up on a bike. youtu.be/P1sjxIKkKGo?si…

The roundabout to nowhere no more. Finally opened up to the roads being created for the new development called Lathallan Grange at Polmont.

Thanks to Denny High School for asking me along to their Future Fest 25 this evening. Great chatting to the pupils about ways into the technology business they might not have considered. Also being located next to an external door the drones saw some action too.

All the three way traffic lights were in my favour heading back from Tamfourhill this evening. I just made it back in time to capture a shot of the ISS flying over Scotland. The curved trail below is EasyJet flight EZY49XD flying from Edinburgh to Paris 🛰️✈️

Drone charged for a job but couldn’t resist going for a shot of the sunset behind Drumbroider Moss. This area is being split for hutting and gr8 that locals are talking to national organisations about it. A lot of concerns re this and problems caused by the existing structures.

Loads of nice stuff on display at Bo'ness today. The pre-2000 machines are instantly recognisable unlike everything in the bland world we’re living in today. Good to bump into my friend’s son who had nice Nuffield tractor on display.

Bo'ness Recreation Centre today. It would usually have been well attended on a Sunday afternoon. All the clubs and users are supposed to have been relocated to the Academy next door. Therefore it was a bit odd to see the Academy gates closed and an empty car park 🤔

Wow! The sky is so cluttered. Dare I say my first attempt at capturing the International Space Station during winter 2025. I'm out of practice and can’t believe the amount of satellites in the shot. Which one is the ISS?

Great idea. I've used the Pi for so many projects since they were released. The Pi Hut is worth a visit for anyone looking to start using these brilliant tiny computers thepihut.com

Preparing to head to my old high school to talk to the pupils and their families about what it’s like in the tech business and how to get into it. Chuffed to be invited and really looking forward to it.

Spot on. I'm familiar with traditional hutting and this isn’t it. Our countryside is being destroyed by folk taking advantage and building illegal holiday homes in it. It’s become a public health issue here with houses being overrun by rodents and contaminated with faeces.

My comments regarding the land banking scam promoting the fad of hutting. Not the traditional type of hutting but to quote the regional manager of woodlands.co.uk “our clients are mainly gullible people with too much money”.
