First time in months I've felt like staying under the covers because it's 'cold' outside. It just shows what a ridiculously long hot spell we've had in the past few months.

The only way to deal with the current UK climate extreme is to behave like a data centre... Consume lots of water and literature.

I've just found this item of clothing from the cold-ages. I presume it was some sort of protection. Does anyone know what it was used for though?

Going vegan suddenly seems more appealing!

You've been kidnapped. Your kidnappers allow you to keep posting on social media to pretend everything is alright. What would you post that would alarm your followers, without the kidnappers knowing you're asking for help?

Can someone tell past Robin that a bit more training wouldn't go amiss, and maybe don't keep skipping the long run on Sunday. For that matter future Robin on Sunday coming could probably do to hear it too 🙈

Right in the middle of the park, a long way from the river or the pond, a small toad walks up to me... Can't imagine they're comfortable in the blazing sun on short cut grass. Luckily the carried by Robin express to the pond in the Japanese Garden was ready to depart.

And the widespread adoption of tram systems across France makes this technology even more useful. Leeds looks on in confusion. @garethdennis.bsky.social does the #NotAMetro sorter need an update?
