Dear David Attenborough,
Congratulations on reaching your 100th lap around the sun, young man!
Thank you for sharing the wonders of our world with such care and curiosity.
Here’s to many more years, slow and steady wins the race!
With admiration,
Jonathan the Tortoise
@MerrynSW Hunger Games. Thought it was for weird people who liked elves. Read the whole thing between Paddington and Cornwall and cried. Not literary but gripping and an easy way back in.
This child is channeling the ancients. Believe it or not, English used to have this word. We also said “yesternight” for last night, “ereyesterday” for the day before yesterday, and “overmorrow” for the day after tomorrow. (Old English: gestrenæht, ærgestradæg, ofermorgen.)
@MartinSLewis As a tour op, I think it'd be good for the public to have more widely available information on insurers who cover less standard cases- older travellers, people with serious illnesses, high value holidays, very long holidays. Kudos to Battleface, All Clear, Saga etc.
@WordsByJill Hmmm. Kruger is about 10 x the size of the Mara so there's a lot more potential for exploring/longer stay. I would prob do upto 4 days in reserve and 4 days in a conservancy but no longer than that. Or a max 4 night stay if in one spot.
Yesterday, British #Farmers donated 6.6 tonnes of fresh food, which = over 15k meals for Londoners facing #foodpoverty. #CityHarvest CEO, Calcutt: “We were honoured to ensure every donation was safely received + handled with as much care as the time + skill spent producing it."
Please read my interview with farmer @agricontract Olly Harrison in the i newspaper and don’t fall for Labour’s lies that their IHT tax is only hitting wealthy landowners. They know full well it’s not.
