Our tech guy assures us the h2g2 Post will be back in two shakes of a goat's tail. Meaning, please enjoy the goats. Honey (dark brown) and Bea just arrived at the Hoggett farm and the other goats like them. www.youtube.com/shorts/VPXpq...

Saw this ad for a goat on Facebook. It’s perhaps the greatest advert I’ve ever read. It’s just superb.

Happy #Caturday Everyone. Pru did exactly this to me only last week! 😁

What's nature up to these days? Unusually high temperatures sent European cows and sheep into the shade. French seals enjoyed a swim. Meanwhile, in North America, ants happily sampled peonies. Take a look at it all in the h2g2 Post. h2g2.com/dna/h2g2/bru...

New in the Edited Guide: Jacques Bellot's 1586 Phrasebook: How to Speake English Perfectlye. Was this 1586 Frenchman's hovercraft full of eels? Worse than that. Read at h2g2.com/dna/h2g2/bru...

We like the way this writer thinks. (And it's a good read.)

Would you like to go on an art tour on the Isle of Wight? You'll have to get out your walking shoes. Bluebottle has a helpful guide to the works, but ask a Dutch person for help with [vɑŋ ˈɣɔx]. h2g2.com/dna/h2g2/bru...
