Last of the Summer Whine


I expect this will be almost the last "chippies on the beach" for a Friday night. It's getting dark pretty early and the clocks must be going back soon! The sunset was lush at Lepe and we had a nice walk down towards Gull Island. A man set off in his canoe with fishing rods as we passed, and it looked like bliss....

After sunset he was still there drifting along the Solent, but it as nearly time for home. Lewis asked me why it was still light if the sun had gone down, and it reminded me of the moment at school when I realised that planets going around the sun had a certain similarity to the electrons we'd been discussing going around the nucleus....

Is there life on Mars?
