⁦@IainDale⁩ thank you for the shout out earlier for my father ⁦@THEJamesWhale Yesterday he was well enough to go home from hospital and as you can see from the photograph in very good spirits. His positive energy is amazing and I’m very proud of him.

Nuclear power plant now on fire in Ukraine.
This surely is an act of Global Terrorism? @THEJamesWhale @talkRADIO

[CNN @CNN]

“This is closed circuit video of the nuclear power plant in Zaporizhzhia in southern Ukraine. It is the largest in the country with six nuclear reactors.” @andersoncooper reports on the ominous news of a nuclear power plant in Ukraine now on fire, according to the town’s mayor.

Have you ever seen anything that screams winter magic like this bubble freezing? We couldn't believe it when we saw this incredible footage!

Who else is going to be out there with a straw and some washing up liquid at the first sign of snow?

More than 150 years ago Victorian biologist Charles Darwin made a powerful observation: that a mixture of species planted together often grow more strongly than species planted individually.

Lovely pictures by @PaulUpwey of this juvenile Nightjar in a Weymouth garden. Although many birds now on thier return migration, there are a few nests still to fledge! We are aware of two nests with young still to fledge, though imminent. Good luck to 'em. @DorsetBirdClub

Safe and sound on the surface! Our Ingenuity #MarsHelicopter survived the first cold night on its own, a major milestone on the Red Planet, where surface temps can plunge as low as -130° F (-90° C). Its first flight attempt will be no sooner than April 11: https://t.co/pdr8Cssr1R
