Sorry, I’d forgotten Lizzy had an ice cream van too. Yes, it was a huge mess when Nigel inherited. Julia wasn’t good at living within her means either. #TheArchers

It is, I love making items out of scraps, but the scrapbooking trend has been hijacked. Keep enjoying what you do! 🙏🏻

So many of the images are generated to be bought or downloaded, rather than found in old publications or doodles created by the individual.

UK friends: in the words of Tesco, every little helps.

Post on Threads describing how the Reform party are sending out 8 page flyers to 15 million homes and if you send them back to Reform's Freepost return address, they have to pay for the extra postage.

Today is World Day Against the Death Penalty. Let us seek to end this inhumane and immoral practice around the world, especially here in America. It is so deplorable that in the 21st century this is going on in a modern democracy.

“The precisely controlled movements of handwriting lead to patterns in the brain that promote learning. The brain opens, deepens and enriches itself. There is in it (speaking subjectively) an exhilaration and a feeling of homecoming.”

This is an essay about hands and handwriting. I think of handwriting as a way to organise thought into shapes. I like...

'As men in balaclavas try to stop lifeboats saving people, something different is happening on the coast of North Devon. In a community changed by an asylum hotel, new friendships are being forged – and a group of refugee schoolgirls are learning to surf like the locals.' 🏄🏽‍♀️ youtu.be/cP5JCtqOgnM?...

The database they use in the show is here. If you search for ‘British slave traders website’ or ‘register of British slave traders’, you might find yourself on the History Reclaimed website, which opposes ‘woke’ history…

Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring" was released on this day 62 years ago. I have a first edition & come back to it often, including this paragraph in the chapter "Obligation to Endure." It's worth reading. "We urgently need an end to these false assurances, to the sugar coating of unpalatable facts."

The last paragraph in the Silent Spring chapter Obligation to Endure, reads, in part, " We urgently need an end to these false assurances, to the sugar coating of unpalatable facts... The public must decide whether it wishes to continue on the present road, and it can do so only when in full possession of the facts. In the words of Jean Rostand, "The obligation to endure gives us the right to know."

Today’s parades decision has overshadowed reporting about what was laid out in court about Sarah Montgomery's murder - she was 32wks pregnant, beaten to death by the father of her children with a water bottle he was bought for Father’s Day. So many determined to make this dangerous place worse

Time for my favourite French Constitutional joke: Man walks into a library and says "excuse me, I'm looking for a copy of the French constitution." "I'm sorry, sir," replies the librarian, "but we don't stock periodicals."

Do you have a painting or drawing by Lawrence Bragg? The Nobel Prize-winning scientist appears in the 1927 Solvay photo alongside Einstein and Marie Curie; he was also a keen painter. I’m planning an exhibition about his life and times in 2027, the centenary of this picture.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

In all the grandiose discussion about colonising Mars, I don't see much about how the soil is poisonous to us. This was only discovered in 2008. It contains perchlorates, which are environmental toxins here on Earth. Any human contact with Mars dust? Super-bad news in the long run. 1/

My latest blog post. Based on some researchers who put googly eyes on a takeout food box to see if that would discourage seagulls from stealing your lunch. There's serious work on how animals track eyes and on trying to stop animals from taking food. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/ment...

Seagulls Versus Googly Eyes

Have you ever had your lunch stolen by a gull or some other bird? In the battle to save your lunch, scientists may have discovered a secret weapon: googly eyes.
