Any tadpole behaviourologists on Blue Sky @chrisgpackham.bsky.social ?! Why do the tadpoles in my pond come to burrow en masse in pebbles at edge of pond in the daytime? Temperature? Food source? (although not obviously different from other sections)

@candygourlay.bsky.social Just had a lovely lunch date with my 3 yr old great nephew who told me ALL about the funny author he met yesterday and her adventures in her grandmother's cupboard (hopefully I'm not conflating two of his stories). He'd clearly had a brilliant time listening to you.

Anyone got any info on when @netflix.com will be adding more episodes of #TheFirstFrost ? I can see episodes 11 is already out but their listing stops at 10. Frustrating.

Middlemarch for the third time.
Me, first quarter: "Why did I think this was the best book? So many characters and impenetrable politics and Dorothea is a prig"
Me, final quarter: "This is the best book - so funny, so sad, so WISE."
But Dorothea and Will are a bit silly - I'm all Team Garth now.
