Sometimes, I cut articles into pieces and have somebody hide them about the house so I can simulate reading a local news website.

Listening to @andyburnham.bsky.social closing @bylinefestival.bsky.social talking about truth, democracy, accountability, duty of candour and access to legal representation for victims of injustice. Inspiring.

Linda Mizum: 3 steps to better health (if you can)
1. Stand up regularly during the day, don't stay seated
2. Do a squat for a minute (affects insulin resistance)
3. Skin-to-skin contact, with someone else or just yourself (oxytocin stress relief)

Great discussion on 'Building a healthier country from the bottom up' at @bylinefestival.bsky.social. Early mention of the importance of @michaelmarmot.bsky.social's work on social determinants of health, including impacts of poverty and poor housing on quality of life and life expectancy.

Inspiring @kateraworth.bsky.social talking about @doughnuteconomics.bsky.social at @bylinefestival.bsky.social. Meeting people's needs within the needs of the planet. Bravo @cornwallcouncil.bsky.social for embracing the concept of a healthy sustainable future. What about it @plymouthcc.bsky.social?

Oh, that is so relatable! Thanks @robinince.bsky.social
One of the many things I can thank @jamieandlion.bsky.social for is that now I know my neurodivergent mind, my senses are not perpetually searching for threat , they are finding fascination and patterns EVERYWHERE #glasgow

"Fun videos" - really? A new low.
People might think that fascism will only come packaged in scowls and enraged expressions, but it often comes delivered with a smile.
Just as Leavitt grinned ear to ear after she said "fun videos."

Hardly new info, but BSky should know:
Warsaw's water quality is monitored by eight clams with magnets attached to their shells. If contamination in the water causes the clams to close, the magnets trigger an alarm and shut off the city's water supply.
Thank you, little guardian molluscs.

Sometimes seeds germinate in the wormery. A while back, I saw what looked like courgette seedlings and thought "Ah - free courgettes this year". So much for my botanical ID skills. Not free courgettes but a free Christmas nectarine tree a few years later!

A couple of enjoyable hours spent in local churches: at All Saints Holbeton to help with the Christmas flowers, and at St Bartholomew's Yealmpton for the Christmas Tree Festival. The WI tree had a theme of 'Peace on Earth' with lots of doves made and decorated by WI members. My humble effort shown.
