#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. 50. Bees don’t have lungs (or a nose!). Air enters the bee body through external openings along the body called spiracles. They rely upon a simple gas exchange system that bathes the body in oxygen and expels carbon dioxide as waste. #bees #nature

The Icelandic word for psychologist is "sálfræðingur". It literally means "soul expert". For short we call them "sáli" or "soulie".

It's officially Deireadh Fómhair - after the harvest. Time for stories of the sídhe, ghosts & goblins, creepy laudanum-addicted uncles, dancing skeletons, creatues scratching in the walls, curses & craven monsters. What is your poison of choice? I am loving the latest Lex Croucher, magic galore.

Paddling (canoeing) across Windermere today, into the teeth of a pretty stiff Force 3 wind - lumpy, and just this side of whitecaps - I came across a swimming squirrel, looking very stressed. Not a planned swim, I'm guessing. It was 300m to either shore, so I'm not sure s/he was going to be okay.
