My favourite bit about walking through airports is watching how the perfume sellers triage me out of existence as a potential customer with the instant efficiency of a lurcher spitting out a used teabag it has been tossed that might have been food.

Newly emerged (teneral) male common darter by my pond this morning. Wings silvery as they are soft and need the sun to harden. The colour will quickly change to red over the next day or so.

Four spot chaser on Chat moss, I think my best dragonfly photo so far.

Not feeling well so fire up the popular marsupial themed food delivery app. I don’t *think* this is where I am.

Everyone in the past was neurotypical, which is how we got things like this single-author, eight-volume encyclopedia of ferns

eight leatherbound books all titled "FERNS" volumes 1 through 8

I have a solo gig in Sheffield this Sunday, co-headlining with trad singer Jill Pidd. It’s a new venture and we want to get the word out, can you help by sharing? Thankyou! wegottickets.com/event/649011

I visited The Marton Oak, England’s largest tree by circumference at 44ft. The middle has entirely rotted away, leaving three separate trunks connected by the roots. It’s estimated to be 1200-1400 years old. It’s in someone’s back garden so you have to ask permission to meet it.

Money has recently been a little tighter than I would have liked, so as part of a virtuous economy drive, this week I twice attempted some batch cooking. I saw ‘attempted’ because what I actually made, in practice, was two absolutely massive delicious dinners.
