Here’s a poem called ‘Life of a Naturalist’.

Chris Mason on BBC News just now: ‘Ed Davey & the Lib Dems face a tussle for attention.’ Well. Here’s the thing Chris.

Google doesn't recognise this particular soft-close hinge on a glass mirror cabinet door. Does anyone know about it - specifically how to adjust it? This one doesn't close completely, but it's companion on the other door does. I've tried all the visible adjusters. RTs welcome for wider audience!

When I was growing up, my mum would quite often say, "If so and so jumped off a cliff, would you?", presumably in an attempt to rescue me from the teenage hive mind, and I find it *very interesting* how much social media encourages lemming/social fit behaviour among otherwise sensible adults.
