I was very tired this weekend. I think the cold mornings have worn me down over the past week.
So it was a very short drive to Low Head to see if any Little Penguins were hanging around under the dense Box Thorn Bushes (there weren't, or at least none that I could see).
Then a trip to Green's Beach which is very close to where I live. It's a great place to sit on rocks and let the ocean's mood rub off on you. (Calmness was the prevailing mood)

Rocks covered in orange algae. Some natural dark grey rocks are also visible and the sea is light blue in the background.
A rich dark blue sea stretches to the horizon which portrays a white band. Sunbeams descend from the top left hand corner. Deep green foliage covers the landscape in the foreground. It is rocky, bushy, and slopes up to the right

Rainy beach photos in northern , all beaches are on Bass Strait

Rained out beach scene. There is one person on the beach with an umbrella. A speck.
Shards of eroded rock lead out to see at Cooee. We start to see light again as we head back along the coast to Devonport.

Looks great. I particularly like the the misty headland in the middle photo.

We were at Low Head and then Green's Beach yesterday. I'll try to put some pics up later :)

Never been there, but I'm playing a chess tournament in Somerset in a couple of weeks and if I have some spare time, I'll take a look.

Thanks!

I've just entered the Tasmanian Open Chess Championship which will be held in Somerset in 2 weeks.

I would have liked to enter the Asian Senior Chess Championship which will be held in Mongolia as I've never been there. But, alas, that will not be happening.

Ah, I remember when I lived in the UK the excitement of hearing the news that a General Election had been called.

To be replaced a few minutes later by the realisation that FPTP is still the voting system.

It also feeds the myth that a vote for anyone other than the two main parties is a wasted vote.

Plasma donation time.
A bit delayed today because of so many new donators.

I gave plasma a week ago so can't give again for another week. They said they were short of O+ then

@Fury @ibk

Coming from the UK I wasn't allowed to give blood for many years of being here in Australia. From 2005 when I arrived until 2022 when I moved to Tasmania, I wasn't allowed to donate, but I'm trying to make up for that now.

My wife can't donate, though she'd like to. She has fibro and the drugs she's on prevent her.

Proud Boys is such a funny name for a club. I wonder if anyone has noticed this before. I wonder if they have a UK chapter called the Splendid Chaps.

It's been a bloody mad 24 hours.

Yesterday I was bitten by a leech which left a big hole in my leg. Good effort for something so small.

Then I burst a blood vessel in my left eye. It's ugly and scares the kids I teach so all good there. Doesn't hurt.

This was no problem for giving blood which was what I did today. A plasma donation.

Been too tired to chase auroras the past few nights but really happy for those of you that saw it, and thankful for the amazing pictures you've plastered over Mastodon.

I did get out today in the autumn foliage and was lucky to see my first Mycena Interrupta, or cute little blue mushy, since moving to Tasmania.

It's clear now in Beaky. But I'm so tired I won't be aurora chasing
