Goodbye, Cardiff! Hwyl fawr, Caerdydd!

The seating on view is dark blue, with a 3 daffodils made up of yellow and green seats. The outfield is lush and green, the sky is blue with some clouds, and the stadium light on view is switched on.

I probably shouldn’t have read this as I do want to make this myself one day.

Fabulous! Truly a book series for all ages

From what age would this be a good book? (It clearly has no upper age limit)

Lmk if you want quantities. But soup is pretty forgiving

Sauté the normal soffritto base for ~45mins, then add stock and frozen peas. Just before end add a ton of basil, and puree. Really nice with some Parmesan sprinkled on the top.

This made me smile, attached to an ordinary cast iron drainpipe on a house in Durham. #TinyJoys
A cast iron drain pipe going down the side of a white-painted house.  A crest of red feathers and a bright orange beak made from something solid have been attached around it.  It looks remarkably like "Feathers McGraw", the evil criminal penguin from The Wrong Trousers.

Is anyone able to help out someone in hospital in Bury St Edmunds with no local support?

Why not both?

I endorse the recommendations you’ve already had for river green and the waffle house (which is also great for an evening meal). Brick does good pizza.

Visit the recently re-opened castle, or head to UEA and go to the Sainsbury Centre (aka Avengers HQ). If you need breakfast, JC Pinto and No.33 are both excellent, or grab a pastry from Bread Source. Biddy’s is good for tea and cake.

We have just had proper rain here for the first time since June - and I have just come to realise that the purpose of Test cricket as a ritual in England is TO MAKE IT RAIN IN THE SUMMER. We have angered the gods with The Hundred and we must return to the old ways.

Please help: have I imagined it or is there an account on here that uses Lego figures to illustrate academic scenarios?

Where did you go for lunch in the end?

And if you’re looking for dinner I had the best steak pie I’ve ever eaten at Bank house.

I think it’s partly so that you can still water your garden if you wouldn’t be able to using a watering can, for example.

It's England's world cup semi-finals day. Forget team selection dilemmas and xG analysis. What you really want is a really nerdy deep-dive into football, pub opening hours, and what they tell you about the most important form of legislation that you may never have heard of. Let's go.

If anyone has good tips for navigating the #Proms ticket site, which areas are good with mobility restrictions and how to select seats, please let me know - I’m disappointingly confused!

A heatwave cartoon for @newscientist.com
1. Title: The North Wind and the Sun quarrelled as to who was the stronger. 

2. The Sun says: "I propose a wager: See yonder traveller, let us see who can make him remove his cloak."

3. The northwind blows on the traveller, the sun says: "You blow yet he only wraps it tighter!"

4. The sun shines on the traveller, saying: Observe! . The traveller mutters "nice and warm"

5. The Sun says "See, my kindness brought results!" The traveller has removed hos cloak and begins to sweat. "Fair enough, you win." concedes the North Wind.

6. "Tremble before my gracious heat!" says the sun, smiling bradly. His heat has started a fire. the traveller flees. The North Wind says "I think that’s enough."

7. "Let the world burn with my cleansing benevolence!!" blazes the sun madly, now grown huge in the sky. The land is a burning fireball. "Now you’re scaring me!" says the North Wind anxiously.
