Horses, bees and a tiny dog rule my world. I worry about things, but mostly nature's decline and the rise of populism. 🇪🇺

Khyra was taught to stay away from sheep and lambs... ...but the lambs don't seem to have the same rule!

My partner got weirded out by how much my new calathea plant wiggles during the day, so of course I had to capture an 11 hour timelapse of it wiggling.

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025

I’m in my 40s of course I am burnt out. I grew up being told that hard work pays off , so I made being a good worker my entire personality. Turns out it doesn’t actually pay off, it creates more work & sets unrealistic achievement standards impossible to keep up with.

The Food, Diet and Obesity Committee recently called on government to fix our broken food system. This followed an in-depth inquiry where the committee heard from a range of stakeholders.
In our new podcast, we unpack the evidence with chair, Baroness Walmsley.

I built a big electric fence around my property yesterday.
My neighbour is dead against it.
For far better dad jokes than that, follow the ten people in this starter pack (who posted my favourite groaners of the week). And if you want to be in my next starter pack, just reply with a bad dad joke...

A Bristly Ladybird (Rhyzobius lophanthae) tapped out of an ornamental juniper in a garden in Upshire, Essex today. The distinctive bristles are clearly visible along the wing case sides. #EssexWildlife #UKLadybirds #InconspicuousLadybirds

I booked 3 sets of flights with seats together on London/Tokyo flight. Booked a friend's flight: Scotland/Japan, via London. 1 booking reference. BA changed Scotland/London flights, now incompatible with London/Japan flights! Not possible to only cancel domestic flights! @britishairways.bsky.social
