Sorry you can’t come to school today, we don’t have any teachers.
What an embarrassment public transport is in the UK. Always an adventure though - maybe you’ll get to where you’re going, maybe you won’t.

The best short stories I read last month. 🧵
Claire Keegan — Antarctica (Antarctica) Cold, precise, terrifying. A writer wholly in control.
@mjohnharrison.bsky.social — Egnaro (The Ice Monkey) An obsession that plays out across novels in a nutshell. A yearning for what is always out of sight.

This is Andy. He and his wife founded Hessilhead wildlife hospital in 1979.
Since then he has been directly responsible for saving tens of thousands of animals and building Hessilhead into what it is today.
Swans, hedgehogs, seals, foxes, birds of all descriptions, saw them all so well cared for.
