Catching up on #BBC #Radio4 comedy shows. Thoroughly enjoyed #ImSorryIHaventAClue episodes, hearing #GaryDelaney & #HarryEnfield on there for the first time, and being really impressed with both #PippaEvans & #MilesJupp singing (lovely voices!!) & @marcusbrig.bsky.social rapping #TheShippingForecast
“Heading into the stormy waters of 2025, we could replace late-night doomscrolling with this nautical reverie, a moment of calm in a culture that refuses to switch off. It might be moderate or fair, occasionally good, tomorrow” #theshippingforecast #100years
Cover of Cruel Tides, a Doggerland crime novel.
Programmes about #TheShippingForecast yesterday on @bbcradio4.bsky.social in the UK reminded me to read one of Maria Adolfsson’s #Doggerland crime novels again. She has imagined a real contemporary island on Dogger Bank and I love her flawed hero, Karen. Next 3 translated please!
Listening to the day-long tribute to #TheShippingForecast on BBC Radio 4 and can’t help keep thinking of my poem ‘The Species Forecast’ which, after three years of trying, was commended in the Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty sub-section of The Gingko Prize.

I'm hugely enjoying #BBCRadio4 's day of progs about the #ShippingForecast, esp on a day when there are "Warnings of gales in all areas..."

Listening to the 100 year celebration of #TheShippingForecast on @bbcradio4.bsky.social and I'm left wondering if there are any sailors out there getting confused by so many archive forecasts?
Here's Captain Robert #FitzRoy as he appears on my #WeatherMap.
Today's foul weather makes it the perfect day to stay in, warm and dry & listen to BBC Radio 4's #ShippingForecast Centenary programmes.
