Sorry we’re not riding at dawn. We’re having coffee and catastrophizing the day at dawn. Then we’re doing Wordle. Then we’re doing 35 minutes of doomscrolling, then we’re taking the longest hottest shower, then we’re sitting on the edge of the bed staring at nothing for a while, THEN maybe we ride.

Fun fact, reindeer like eating lichen WAY more than they like glitter oats. Please don’t pick it from trees but there’s plenty on the ground after the storm! #lichen #forestofdean

Today in relatable science: Gulls making a mysterious daily trip that turned out to be to a potato chip factory
A map of flight paths emanating from breeding colony of gulls, with this caption: Early on, LifeWatch noticed something odd. Most gulls were making daily trips to Mouscron, a city on the French border 65 km away. They went to investigate and found the birds bingeing on discarded snacks at the Roger & Roger potato factory.

My sister used to recite the lady of Shallot to me by heart. Now I do the same for my kids (not by heart) and then wonder why the 5 year old is obsessed with death and curses.

Finally nearly home after 6 days travelling around ‘oop North’ learning about some awesome tree health work. I haven’t had a hug since Monday. Bets on whether the dog or the 5 year old is more excited to see me?
