The sound of open space. Good if you need a gentle distraction. 🎧
Episode 85 - Afternoon meadow in late summer (31mins)
A tractor mows a field with a view for miles. The birds settle back into their daily business. Insects buzz past. Overhead, planes lazily pass in the sky.

Let's meet one of the earliest fossil owls, Berruornis orbisantiqui.
The name means "old-world bird from Mont Berru (France)".
It was ENORMOUS, with wing-span up to 1.5 m (5 ft), but I need to bend your brain a little.
See, the earliest owls VERY NEARLY OVERLAP with dinosaurs like T. rex.

Great to hit the campaign trail for Angeliki - our fantastic candidate in Gorton & Denton.
A big Labour presence on the ground today, including a strong Hertfordshire contingent!
Lots of voters were warm about Angeliki's local credentials and track record as a Manchester Cllr.
All to play for🌹

Verulamium was a Roman town southwest of the modern city of St Albans in Hertfordshire, England. The major Roman road Watling Street passed through the city. It was about a day's walk from London. Before the Romans it was already a tribal centre of the Catuvellauni. #RomanSiteSaturday

Matt Goodwin came to play as who wouldn't want a political masterclass from the very best?
We watched, so you don't have to, and it's a total snoozer!

Person sends me a request for me to supervise him for a PhD at the University of Hertfordshire. I do not work there, so I tell him. He then replies, and I quote:
"Could you kindly let me know which university you are currently affiliated with?"
Not PhD material I'm afraid.

Not aware of any new ones in Hertfordshire; haven't seen any planned in the 3 district LCWIPs I've seen. (A single modal filter, improving an already existing old "LTN" was planned during Covid but a consultation was used as a referendum so didn’t happen.)

It's a long time since I've been there, I grew up in Pinner and used to to go there regularly in the 1960's. I moved out to Hertfordshire where Andrew Moon was a regular record and photograph contributor before he moved away to Suffolk; the photos were of outstanding quality.

Can we please get an intervention into #UKHE governance round about now? £14,000 isn't going to make or break Hertfordshire, but that a handful of senior mangers just can throw this cash at stuff they want & justify it by the dictatorship of rankings is corrosive.

Senior managers spend almost £14,000 on attending awards dinner in Edinburgh.
The University’s senior personnel attended the Times Higher Education Awards on 13 November in Edinburgh. We wrote to the Finance Director, on 1 December seeking the full cost to the University of attendance at the event
