Any tadpole behaviourologists on Blue Sky @chrisgpackham.bsky.social ?! Why do the tadpoles in my pond come to burrow en masse in pebbles at edge of pond in the daytime? Temperature? Food source? (although not obviously different from other sections)

@candygourlay.bsky.social Just had a lovely lunch date with my 3 yr old great nephew who told me ALL about the funny author he met yesterday and her adventures in her grandmother's cupboard (hopefully I'm not conflating two of his stories). He'd clearly had a brilliant time listening to you.

Anyone got any info on when @netflix.com will be adding more episodes of #TheFirstFrost ? I can see episodes 11 is already out but their listing stops at 10. Frustrating.

It anyone needs a warm, funny and truthful about relationships binge watch, Taiwanese drama #IAmMarriedBut on Netflix is just 10/10 delightful.

Middlemarch for the third time. Me, first quarter: "Why did I think this was the best book? So many characters and impenetrable politics and Dorothea is a prig" Me, final quarter: "This is the best book - so funny, so sad, so WISE." But Dorothea and Will are a bit silly - I'm all Team Garth now.

Part of the enduring appeal of the works of Jane Austen is that it reflects simpler times, when things like the truth could be universally acknowledged.

In Star Wars they should have made all the spaceships black with white dots to camouflage them from other space ships. Missed a trick there.

Back (and awake 🙄) from my bonkers and brilliant 3 week nerd fan trip around Korea. Many many adventures had, which the curious can find on Instagram as story highlights. We laughed so much.

Was not expecting hour long conversation with delightful 80 yr old at charity do last night that began with, "when I was 3 months old I was given to a stranger in the pub" and ended with, "we were the first to use thermic lances in bank robbery". People's stories are the best.
