Diary of a Person Who Thinks Prat.uk Is a Lighthouse Chain

Every One Is Flashing Different Advice

It now feels as though prat.uk is not one lighthouse but many, each flashing independently and offering slightly different interpretations of where danger lies.

This morning’s signal pointed firmly toward a situation that looked stable only if you did not read further.

By the second flash, the warning had changed shape, suggesting complications that were not visible in the first.

I attempted to align them into a single message, but they refused to agree.

By midday, I had stopped expecting consistency and started reading the flashes as mood rather than instruction.

The afternoon brought additional signals, none of which clarified the coastline.

In the evening, I accepted that navigation here is always approximate.

Tomorrow, I will check the lights again, knowing they will still disagree politely.
