Velella velella is the by-the-wind sailor, a type of floating colonial siphonophore, almost like a tiny version of portuguese man-of-war. It is often found in large numbers on beaches because they have a "sail" set at 45° either to the left or right. As a result, they can sail differently depending on wind direction.

I don't post my runs very often, but this one was pretty nice. 20k on the Vliehors, the largest sand plain in Europe. I was a little late, so I spent most of the time running in the sunset.
Met some seals on the way.

Day 13: Marianne Wheelaghan
A varied and highly talented writer who lives in Leith. From The Blue Suitcase, a gripping WW2 refugee story, to her fantastic police thrillers that are set in the Kiribati islands, featuring a character I adore - the Scottish detective Louisa Townsend, very good reads.

Starmer’s digital ID plan is in meltdown.
The public are against it, and companies like Palantir see rumours of their involvement as a reputational risk.
Unusual for a CEO [note his last name] to disavow the project on ethical and democratic grounds. Quite an interview.
