Lego for free & hot stuff

It was 1997 when a container ship was hit by a huge wave of the coast of Cornwall and a few containers were washed into the sea.

One container had 4.8m pieces of Lego in it and ever since the accident pieces have been washing up on Cornish beaches.
Its obviously a bit of an eyesore but some locals seem to make it a competition to find the more rare pieces.
One local Tracey Williams has even started a facebook page called LegoLostat Sea  - - -



Another story with a nautical bent is the one claiming that Seals are feeding around offshore wind farms

Tagged seals have been recorded repeatedly foraging for food on North Sea wind farms.
The article suggests that their prey congregate around the "Artificial Reefs" which start to grow around the bases of these structures.  One worrying point is that the seals may "hoover up" all the prey species which concentrate there rather than having to hunt for them - - -

Closer to home 
The weather is once again in the news with stories of more days of "scorching" temperatures to come.
My weather station recorded 30.1c yesterday but I think it was affected by the positioning of the sensor and the fact my cooling fan has given up the ghost.  I have ordered another and its "in the post" - - - from Hong Kong! - - -
We have had a couple of old friends visiting and on Sunday showed them our favourite walk the Magpie Mine

Here they are on our way back to Sheldon with the mine in the background

We managed to find an outside table for lunch at The Grouse
Yesterday we met up with them at Chatsworth for "afternoon tea" and they had had a very busy itinerary visiting Buxton, Castleton & The Blue John Mine during the day! - - -

I added to the pile up at the logging site but it was very hot, todays effort will be starting earlier! - - -
Enjoy the day
