This is a low contrast black and white photo in landscape format of a square rigged sailing ship underway and about to vanish into a bank of sea fog. Southampton Water, UK (2019). The lower quarter of the photo is filled with calm, flat and light grey sea water. There is an ill defined horizon with a thin sea fog, (a visibility of about one km), that obscures the sky and anything beyond. Very slightly to the right of centre is a two masted, tall ship, a brig, underway from left to right. The vessel has a historic look with a black hull, a thick white stripe running the length of the hull with square windows set in the stripe giving it the appearance of gun ports. Above the deck is a white deckhouse with 3 portholes and is located between the two masts. Stretching from the sides of the deck upwards to the first yard arm are ratlines, rope ladders, with sailors dressed in black, climbing up. Each mast has 3 yard arms with 6 sailors on the middle yard of the aft mast unfurling the sail. There are 2 further sets of ratlines, 1 reaching the upper yard, the other stretching to the mast head. The ship has just passed between 2 large navigation buoys marking the deep water channel. The nearer buoy has the words 'Black Jack' in bold white letters. Our ship is the 34m, 'TS Royalist'. A training ship, hence 'TS', owned and operated by the The Marine Society and Sea Cadets, carries 536 sq m of sail, has a permanent crew of 8, plus up to 24 Cadets and 2 adult trainees.

Isn't this nice cool evening lovely #Adelaide it's going to be 25c tomorrow and the first real 'cool'ish day we've had in weeks, make good use of it, go feed some 🦆's, have an iced-coffee in the park, whatever floats your nautical vehicle.. 👍 😜

Dangerous wind chills as low as 20 to 25 below zero in some locations tonight and Fri nights. Remember to limit time outdoors and dress in layers if heading out.

Good morning ❄️🐦❄️

28 January 2026

It’s once again several degrees below cold this morning, and the weather has finally claimed my lawn. It had been holding on with scattered patches of green, but now it’s surrendered to a uniform winter brown. No complaints here—just a hundred miles north, I suspect the ground wears a full winter blanket.

I could say the cold has me stuck at home, but that wouldn’t be entirely accurate. I rarely leave the house anyway. That said, I did venture out Monday afternoon for a pharmacy run.

Pharmacy runs become routine for folks of a certain age. I’m not sure if the frequency is the same across the country, but I’d bet most doctors stick to the 90-day supply model. The trick is syncing them up—refilling everything at once to save trips. Of course, there’s always that one prescription with a string of 30-day refills that throws off the rhythm. The downside to the “line them all up” strategy is becoming that guy—the one who walks away from the pharmacy window with a grocery bag full of meds. The move is to turn and leave like it’s nothing unusual. Everyone gets a bag full, right? Nobody’s paying attention anyway—they’re just waiting for their own moment at the window.

One good development: pharmacy procedures have gotten pretty streamlined. No more waiting hours for your name or number to be called. My doctor sends prescriptions electronically, and I can hop in line online and wait for the pharmacy to ping me when it’s ready. If I time it right—off-peak hours—it’s usually in and out.

In the end, it’s just winter doing what winter does—slowing the pace, tightening the circle, and reminding me that even the smallest routines carry their own kind of weather.

I like these cold, gray winter days. Days like these let you savor a bad mood.” — Bill Watterson

Behind the Iceveil "The image captures a quiet, wintry moment where the northern cardinal is more suggestion than spectacle. The camera’s focus rests on the foreground: a tangle of slender, leafless branches glazed with droplets or ice, each one catching the light like tiny glass beads. These branches dominate the frame, crisp and intricate, forming a lattice of silvery lines that veil the scene. Behind this shimmering curtain, the cardinal appears—just a splash of red, blurred and softened by the shallow depth of field. Its presence is unmistakable, a warm ember glowing in the cold. Though out of focus, the bird’s posture hints at alertness, perched and still, its color burning through the muted palette of gray and brown. The contrast between the sharp, icy branches and the soft, distant red evokes a sense of longing, as if the viewer is peering through a frosted window at something just out of reach. The atmosphere is hushed and contemplative, the kind of moment that feels suspended in time—where the world is quiet, and beauty hides in the margins." - Microsoft Copilot and the photographer

The weather in inland Australia is referred to by the media as sweltering. May be technically the right word but for me to swelter implies humidity and sweating. It's too hot for those. We have 43 degrees C and 15% humidity. Baking would be a better word. #australia #weather #heatwave

It’s snowing again. Is this because of some malfunction caught in a loop in the space module or just the Matrix going through 2026. I hope it’s just the Matrix. #weather

Winter storm power outages came from unusual sources

Local power providers in Central Texas reported relatively few outages during the weekend's winter storm, with the majority of outages caused by lightning and dust, and very few related to ice accumulation.
