Ah, well. The first one didn't survive its first winter. That one that just fell down had lasted 3 years. Let's hope they rebuild again close by later this year. π€

I've had some bonkers evenings at Wasdale over the years but last night took some beating - 17 shot pano and was a relieved man to get this in the can quickly/under pressure as I was getting soaked

A mellow Barn Owl snap from Walney today.
ALT A Barn Owl to the upper left of frame with wings outstretched flying against a muted background of browns which match the tones in the bird. Whites in the plumage of the Owl lift it from the background.

Shift finished. 20 years to the day since I did my first day in the classroom as a trainee driver.

Second night with no electricity. π«€
I have, however, managed to make a stove-top coffee πππ

Just had an update. They're now estimating Tuesday at 13:00! 96 hours! Four nights without supply. π¬π¬
I'm off to work soon for a shower and a shave and to charge mobiles and stuff. I'm sure they won't mind. I'll seek forgiveness afterwards rather than permission up front.

"I worked a rest day *and* an extra Sunday last month, and the buggers forgot to pay me for both. I *could* wait until next month, but as you're here and showing willing ... I'll give you my account details, and you can sort me out. I'll pay you back in 3 weeks."

Myself and colleagues have been working around the clock since the passing of the storm to reopen lines as safe and quickly as possible
