Happy Terry Pratchett Day to all who celebrate. I hugely miss that calm, dry voice I got in my head when I read his books, but I'm just happy he was around creating the books I needed to read at the exact time I needed to read them.

if I had Stupid Money I'd build a house designed from the ground-up to be "haunted" and you can bet that I'd be deliberately engineering infrasound shenanigans

Today we planted the first of our annuals into the newly renovated glasshouse. Those who’ve been following will know what a big job it’s been to get to this point! To give context, here are two images: one from when we first gained entry and the other of us planting up today.

Dozens of MPs are signalling their intention to enter the private members bill ballot to bring back the assisted dying Bill. Despite voting against the Bill at Third Reading, Paul Foster MP says that procedural abuse by a handful of unelected Lords has driven him to support its return.

Something a little unusual for our collection is this document from the late 17th or early 18th century. It's in our catalogue as 'A page of handwriting practice, possibly in Urdu'. Does anyone know what it says?

Second year of an experiment with a number of plants of doubtful hardiness, outside, at the foot of a SSE facing wall: I'm surprised that these small Hippeastrums have not only come through frosts and snow, but one of them has a flower bud. (Not the variety advertised some years ago as hardy.)
