30 years ago this hopeless, overgrazed hillside was turned into a thriving woodland. Care & fencing restored desolate Glen Garry despite a sub-Arctic climate & proved forests are possible anywhere. So why is much of Scotland a barren wasteland? New film www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuTV...

Many economists and business leaders are raising alarms about falling birthrates. But advocates for lower human populations say a less crowded world will be happier and more sustainable.

Listening to the Media Show on Radio 4. I'm so pleased they haven't tried to both sides EDI / DEI.
#SaraDenby and #DinoMyers-Lamptey were a brilliant choice for this show.

Working through another "I've read it so you don't have to" book. Bit jarring to have the protagonist making "hot actress" quips just paragraphs after his kid gets assaulted by a ghost.
“Sh-she was all-all-all cut up,” he continued. “She was in pieces, but still held together. There was this big hole in her head, and her skin was carved up. And she tried to touch me in a bad place.” That made my blood run cold. I reached down to the bedsheet, and pulled it straight. And there, on the center of the sheet, was a perfectly-shaped, bloody little hand print. “You’re staying in bed with me and Mommy tonight, okay, champ?” “Oh-oh-oh-kay.” At a glance, everything was still in place. The Lord of the Rings posters were still up on the wall—Return of the King, and one with Liv Tyler as Arwen, so he had taste—with a pile of books on his night table. Both were fine. His closet door was propped open by a half-finished Lego Death Star. Above his dresser was a light blue paper target with holes in it from the range.
