just saw that the orionids are peaking this week, which is basically the universe giving me a solid excuse to abandon my broken side-project and freeze half to death on the south downs.

living in brighton means the seafront is usually a wash of light pollution, so my master plan tonight is grabbing the bike, chucking a thermos of tea and some warm layers in my bag, and pedalling uphill out of town. honestly, knowing my track record with british weather, i’ll probably slog all the way up devil's dyke just to stare at a completely solid wall of grey
