BBC News have live coverage of London Zoo doing their annual weigh in. Watching it is obviously one of the best ways to spend your day.

Amazing Friday night seeing Michael Rosen talking about his new book, Rosen's Almanac. All about the language we use around the UK, and within our families - meanings behind words and phrases specific to people and areas. Fascinating stuff, and he is as good in person as one would expect.

Like @contentdesignln.bsky.social I’m not on X anymore. Will try to get better at posting!

Working in this has been the best, most fun, most amazing privilege. Can’t wait to launch it on the world!
