Aspiring fantasy author and geek, retired due to a bunch of chronic illnesses. The Last Philosopher is my first book under the subtitle, Nothing is Everything. It's been called imaginative, funny, and unique. People have even gone so far as to compare it to #DouglasAdams and #TerryPratchett. My response to that comparison, is to go hide under the covers for a week with embarrassment. Posts about books, nature, and geekstuff. #Writing #Author #Indie #Fantasy #Comedy #Satire #NoAI #fedi22

Greenpeace exists because this fragile Earth deserves a voice. It needs solutions. It needs change. It needs action. https://empli.fi/greenpeace

In an atmosphere already saturated with CO₂, luxury emissions are not harmless ‘lifestyle choices’ but deliberate shots fired into the sky whose impacts land hardest on the poorest and most vulnerable to climate chaos.
Time to BAN private jets and superyachts.

I'm a #boater, and a #blues and #gospel #musician. I dabble in #webdesign and #wildlife #photography. At least, those are the things I'm most likely to post about. Also play #boardgames in my "spare" time, but don't have much of that. I was born in 1948. Last paid full-time work: 1998. No paid part-time work since 2009. Now live on the edge of a #village on the #coast of #Norfolk, close to the #norfolkbroads. #fedi22

Bobbing Boat doesn't tell the whole story of #UK #canal #boat #licencing. It's not just length, there are different rates for private boats and hire boats. And I forget the arrangements for continuously cruising #liveaboard #boaters.
I recall that the boats I owned a 1/12th shared in were classed as a #hireboat, although, typically, such boats cruised for about 48 weeks a year, while a typical holiday hire boat only cruises about 36 weeks a year, which is why I can understand the thought that length should not be the sole criteria.
It's different again on the #NorfolkBroads. Licencing is on the basis of area (length x beam) and there are multiple classes with the biggest discounts for #yachts, smaller ones for auxiliary yachts, electric powered craft and so on. Not to mention different rates for hire boats.
And just don't ask about the UK's Boat Safety Scheme! #BSS
