People do not read your email footers even when the info is in red and in big font. Mine tells everyone when I am going on holiday. People still keep asking, even when replying to an email with it there in red!!

Now at over £17, 000 which combined with gift aid makes it over £20,000 for an outstandingly good cause. It's been such a lovely thing watching the total climb. Good luck James!

It’s wonderful to see our research finally out. It shows that the amazing Devil’s Arrows in Boroughbridge, Yorkshire were transported 18km from Brimham Rocks (not Plumpton!) to the site. royalsocietypublishing.org/rspa/article/4…

Two tall tapering megaliths forming the Devil’s Arrows.

A massive grey megalith with blue sky behind.

One of the more squat megaliths with a sunburst behind it.

Random thought. The thud of post arriving through the door used to be a harbinger of gloom as the initial thought was "great, more bills". But now bills are online direct debits - so when the postman knocks, it's transformed into a moment of pleasure as most of it is things you want to receive.

An incredibly well-timed Landsat 9 pass captured the effects of yesterday’s catastrophic glacier collapse near the Nepal–Tibet border. The event was so massive that it was detected by seismometers around the world.

So look, you're all remembering Tim Curry for Rocky Horror and all and yes that was brilliant but for me, it's the Worst Witch and at the end he says to Mildred "come fly with me" and I'm like yes, Tim, anywhere!

Is there anyone in Exeter who can help me out? I parked in a blue badge space next to the Cathedral, displaying a blue badge. I've been issued with a parking fine. I can't get to Exeter to check out the signage there - is there anyone nearby who could take a photo for me?

He is the tenant of the housing association property and it may be a breach of the tenancy agreement for him to move out. However I think it’s just a temporary move, to give Tracy some respite from caring so that should be ok.
