I wonder what it would cost for a period of, say, 3 yrs, to: (a) open 10 more courts; (b) appoint 60+ judges & re-engage 40 recently retired; (c) hold evening court sessions with willing lawyers, judges & jurors. Has anyone tried to find out before binning the jury system?

@msrachelramsay Even more brilliant then. I might go see if the clouds have cleared here. Although light pollution is pretty bad here with Southampton west of me, Fareham north and Portsmouth to the east.

@timpaa The photos above are just from my phone. There was too much light pollution for me to see it with the naked eye from here, but apparently it was visible through binoculars (I could only see it on camera)

Cryptic crossword finished and sent into Times just before tomorrow's deadline. Never seem to win but it's satisfying to try.

@ChloeApLeftie @johanlammers Only have to have the vaguest hint that boredom is on the horizon and will either massively over prepare or fall asleep to stave it off.

I find ocean journeys in dnd challenging to narrate and keep entertaining. Usually I hand wave the days gone by. Here, I'm trying a different approach, I'ce blocked out a number of days and mapped out encounters that could happen on those days as they approach their destination.

I'm putting together story-beats for my Iomandra PC's journey out at sea. These are things that will keep them entertained on the journey, but are also crucial to the world's metaplot in the BG, and also to their current mission.

@OrkneyLibrary I remember that tweet! Brilliant then, still brilliant now! (Funnily enough, just a couple of hours ago I was looking up when I was last in Sweden. That was also 2018. I fly out there again tomorrow.) All the best from the other end of the country

Has anyone actually successfully learned a language using Duolingo Seems like a lot of cute graphics and satisfying sound effects but I'm not buying that it actually works...

@lammas_leaves @TheOldLostRoad I'm assuming "my wife" isn't a terribly useful answer. :-) But will be interested to pass the blog post onto her. All the best.
