Our solar system as you will never see it

NASA Solar System Montage
This montage of images taken by the Voyager spacecraft of the planets and four of Jupiter’s moons is set against a false-color Rosette Nebula with Earth’s moon in the foreground.

I love this montage picture of the Solar System from NASA.

More on mobile phone pacing

Various people have written to me about pacing when using a mobile phone (or cellphone). For example, daughter-in-law Vicky has just written to say (Tom is my son):

I would just like you to know that Tom is currently on the phone on
his mobile and he is pacing (well he was, he is restin,…) and now
he is off again!!!!!

I never pace when I am on my mobile - I find a nice comfy nest to sit
in!! So I would say it is definitely a ‘man thing’ - Tom assures me
that men think better on their feet!

I was using my mobile at King’s Cross station yesterday (while waiting for the best part of an hour for train services to start up again after they’d been suspended on account of a suicide on the tracks north of Potters Bar). And I was trying very hard to stand still. I did succeed, but my feet wanted to carry me around the station concourse.

Oh well, it’s possible for me to be still, provided I remain mindful.
