Burgess on Translation
Translation is not a matter of words only: it is a matter of making intelligible a whole culture.

It must be a sad day, the day one gets tired of the White Cliffs of Dover •

I really enjoy seeing the passing of seasons on the White Cliffs. Many people will complain about how cold and wet winters can be, but nature is all different during this time of the year and there’s yet another kind of beauty to observe •

Here’s something I don’t recall ever seeing before (I have sharpened the image a bit so that you could see the diamond-like shapes over the sea surface). I am assuming it is an occurrence of the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon that I should see a cross sea just one week after reading about that principle, but it still was intriguing.
As Wikipedia informs us, “In surface navigation, a cross sea is a sea state with two wave systems traveling at oblique angles. This may occur when water waves from one weather system continue despite a shift in wind. Waves generated by the new wind run at an angle to the old, creating a shifting, dangerous pattern. Two weather systems that are far from each other may create a cross sea when the waves from the systems meet, usually at a place far from either weather system. Until the older waves have dissipated, they create a sea hazard among the most perilous.”
Now I am no navigation expert, so if any of you knows more about cross seas, I’d be delighted to read your opinions in the comments.
It could also be entirely something else due to the presence of the White Cliffs and the particular Channel currents, but even there, I had never seen diamonds on the sea, and I thought it was pretty damn cool •

Your favourite brutalist pier!
Opened in 1957 and made of concrete-clad steel, the pier of Deal is 1026 ft (311 m) in length (though a notice announces it is the same length as the Titanic, the ship was considerably smaller). It is a Grade II listed building.
If you ever feel like feeling small, I recommend taking a stroll on the pier at night. Nothing gives one perspective quite like being surrounded by the infinite darkness of the pitch black sea on a cold winter night •

That one time we went to Port Talbot to see the new Banksy.
I, for one, felt right at home in Port Talbot. As @thelmaclark1967 and I were discussing it the other day, when you come from a coal and steel region, it is in your blood forever •

For Jon (@jon.dub_who), taking a picture of me is very much like taking a picture of our cat, because I have about the same attention span and aptitude not to move for more than four seconds as your average tabby. Hence this picture of me caught mid-sentence. Oh well... at least my eyes are (kinda) open this time •

We first got into a car for a ride about ten years ago, and we haven’t really stopped driving around ever since 💜 •
