The universe

What are you curious about?

Infinity or beyond? The universe is around 13.5 billions of years old. It could continue for billions or trillions of years into a heat death ending. Cooling down and expanding forever. Or it might collapse in a backwards big band and a singularity.

I’m not a scientist but my interest was piqued by watching the BBC TV series “The Sky at Night”, I started watching in the 1960’s when Sir Patrick Moore presented it. I loved the old fashioned animations of how things worked. It was well before the time of CGI or computer animation.

I keep watching the 20 minute show monthly, over the years, finding out about comets, eclipses, meteor showers and meteorites. I still try and catch it all these years later. I’m interested in finding out about dark matter and quantum lensing. I hope the programme continues for years to come.

Odd eyed woman

Greyish yellow..

My eye patch is off till tonight. Struggling to get my eyes to align. I’m getting double vision. In one eye it’s yellow grey, the other side without the cataract is white. But my eyes keep crossing… It’ll take a while to get right. Meanwhile I’ll probably message people by voice note. It’s hard to type. Might need to reduce posting for a while. Hugs friends!

Short, older middle aged, tired

How would you describe yourself to someone?

Oh and an artist, a singer, enthusiastic about caring for people. Thoughtful, enjoys  science, and thrillers, and fantasy, and sci-fi. Cat lover, cat mother. Not too well, but surviving. I don’t know when to relent and let myself rest. I’m stubborn, if I have a strong opinion and I will try and get my point across.

Physically I don’t think I’m as well as I could be but I do try and look after myself. It’s sometimes difficult to cope but I manage.

Donate them

If you won two free plane tickets, where would you go?

No use to me..

I’ll never fly. I might donate plane tickets to a charity so they can raffle them off as prizes.

Why? Because I am scared of flying. I know I could get on a plane and be safe. But I don’t want to find out if it’s OK…I’ve always been nervous about flying.

I look at it this way, my carbon footprint is minimal, why make it bigger. I love other cultures but I can meet them here. I don’t want to damage the environment. I would ask that the flights were not long haul. No, I won’t use them.

A cataract impression.

Lying in bed this morning.

I could see the window was blurry through my eye with my worst cataract and I wondered how to create an image of what it looks like? I took a photo through my bed sheet and it sort of worked. I also put it through a black and white filter because my sheet was pink. My eyesight isn’t as bad as this, but it does give an impression of what I imagine a really bad cataract would look like.

Turn guns into ploughshares.

What would you change about modern society?

And why not. There are too many weapons  in the world. Guns and missiles. Bombs and tanks. It’s about time we reconsidered what on earth we are doing to this planet of ours with so many wars and gangs and terrorists. Take the guns away, it’s harder to hurt people. I wish aliens would turn up and turn weapons into dust or soil. Just stop the killing, stop the greed, stop the misery. Use our resources to improve lives not destroy them. Imagine a world of peace if you can.

Plastic glass

I just liked the way the light shone through my plastic glass tonight. Taken at an angle with my phone camera…. It feels like a jelly mold or reminds me of razor shells. Funny how shapes and patterns can mimic each other.

I like taking random pictures of things, I take picturesque photos but also enjoy playing with images x
