A fantastic walk with a freelance writer today to look at and talk about our Dark Peak Mountain Hares (& hopefully help highlight their sad decline) - we had great views of a couple along with a Wheatear, pairs of Curlew & Raven, Golden Plover, Red Grouse & Buzzard @derbyshirebirds.bsky.social

It was such a relief to see different people & to think of the possibility of reading novels & drinking wine again.

CHRISTOPHER WALKEN — 83 Candles 🎂 today — (Macbeth) & CHRISTOPHER LLOYD (Banquo) in the stage production of “Macbeth” at the Lincoln Center - New York in 1974.

A good summary of me - I reached into my bag and found a forgotten hagstone with one of my anti acid reflux pills stuck in it Robinince.com

"Fair Galathilion has flowered once more". I'm ridiculously pleased to have kept this lovely thing alive over the last few yrs. Container trees are tricky & my yard is blustery in winter & hot in the summer. But a bigger tub, some organic feed & regular bowls of waste water have kept it blooming.

I’ve been testing this app and it’s brilliant and so easy to use. You even get an animated treat when you login! Tell your friends!🐦‍⬛ #birds 🪶

Cats, bats & weasels have a special little flap doo-hicky at the outer base of their ears that is called the "cutaneous marginal pouch" although most know it as a 'Henry's pocket.' Let's talk about what it is, what it does & why it may be related to the exceptional hearing of these animals.

Oh! Here’s an important thing, on the last day of Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month: chatting to a friend, I was reminded that a lot of people believe that smear (PAP) tests screen for ovarian cancer. They don’t. There is no routine screening for ovarian cancer. 1/?

Out of interest did you see the link I shared yesterday to some of Chris Watson’s work he did in Sheffield wit the Museum a few years back? Not linked health arts wise but I really enjoyed the overall piece. bsky.app/profile/rkph...

We love art on hospital walls. What about the sound too? Anyone know of a medical setting which uses sound in their corridors or waiting rooms or wards to reduce stress?

Today, I was the luckiest person alive. I ordered a glass of fizzy wine to have whilst sitting outside a bar in Whitby. I had my final swig, set the glass on the table and a seagull swooped over and shat in the glass. I don’t know what this means but it felt like winning the world.

Custodians of the Countryside. After being given a lifetime ban on keeping animals, Skipton farmer Hayden Fortune turned his farm into a massive illegal waste site. Hayden had earlier blamed "a spree of rural crime" for threatening electricity inspectors. The crime spree was true - it was his own.

They've done theirs at Norwich Cathedral. Have you remembered to put your clocks forward? FYI: This clock has two faces, one inside, one outside, but it is not linked to the chimes on the hour. It is a successor to what was the earliest clock in England to possess an astronomical dial. Now you know.

The emotional significance of objects sends ripples through our lives, which is why this is often my final poem when I give a reading. It's taken from my second full collection, Whatever You Don't, Just Don't. If you fancy a signed copy, drop me a DM and I'll sort one out for you...

This is what happens when a blackthorn hedge is mostly under water for 6 weeks - the blossom is confined to the part of shrub that was not submerged with a clear tide line below.

Of course at the cinema last night the endless adverts for the Navy take on a different feel if the cheery Scousers and Geordies aren't escaping their roots to play volleyball in Bali but are strafing boats in the straits of Hormuz . "Born in Barrow, Buried in Bahrain"
