I've been struggling to think of what I ought to be posting as my #introduction to the social media world. Spend too much time on my web sites, two of which are #boating related. After selling my #SeaHawk have bought a #HamptonSafari to cruise the #norfolkbroads, our local #waterways.

Thanks to those who have followed me. All #boaters, it seems.

I mentioned #boardgames on my profile, so I just added a games page to my ID verification site.

You couldn't make it up. Operator Self Monitoring by the water companies 🤦‍♂️ #sewage #waterways #rivers

2/5 London country - Looking down the dead straight Slough Arm of the Grand Union Canal from a rusty footbridge close to the M25. A snap from the same walk as yesterday's post.

I’ll try to cover the main areas I come into contact with here in the UK: #pollinators (specifically #bees), #litterPicking and #waterways, #waterConservation and #gardeningForWildlife. This advice is intended for people who don’t know where to start or feel overwhelmed with decisions when it comes to helping their local environment; so I’ll put links to each thread into a new toot to make them easier to find once I’m done.

[1978] Waterways - This 30 minute film lists the various activities to be found on British Waterways but spends most of its time following a family cruising from Hilmorton via Harecastle and the Shropshire Union. Also features the Caledonian Canal, the Welsh Harp and canoeing around Dewsbury.

Read this book last night and found it deeply good, and on a day when we are commemorating the horrors of #Kristallnacht, I want to say this book uses a Passover seder as one of several climactic scenes, including philosophical differences in dealing with HUGE questions. It's a pretty damn interesting book. #AmReading #SFF #FirstContact #Waterways #ClimateJustice https://www.tor.com/2022/07/28/book-review-a-half-built-garden-by-ruthanna-emrys/

The excellent #FirstContact #SFF book I'm reading is Ruthanna Emrys' A Half-Built Garden. Really, really good, and some great metaphors for a Fediverse as well. #ClimateJustice #Waterways
