Wanted to get a train ticket for January the 2nd. It'll cost me 70-100 € with a discount card! Love Deutsche Bahn. Will travel on January 1st instead where the tickets for the same route cost me 16 €

Current fridge status: getting a new one today (hopefully also delivered up to the third floor and into my flat) and had to dismantle half my kitchen beforehand. This is not the old fridge's usual place this is where my worktop usually is....

"Creative arts education isn’t a luxury; it’s a lifeline. And keeping Shakespeare on the curriculum isn’t about nostalgia; it’s about relevance," writes @realgeoffbarton.bsky.social as @the-rsc.bsky.social launch a new "Shakespeare curriculum" for schools.

Tonight, the Woodcock Moon rises. 🌕
Folklore whispers of Woodcocks awaiting this moonlit night to cross the seas & arrive in huge numbers on our shores.
It was believed tiny Goldcrests journeyed with them, riding on their backs!
It will be our second Supermoon of the year.
