A huge festive thank you to the 32 volunteers who turned out for our work party today. We managed to cut and burn a huge amount of willow!

Thanks to Lord Len for again running the logistics. And to Andy & Sharon for the lovely baked potatoes and home made mince pies.

So on Monday morning I had a heart attack, several ECGs, bloodtest, meds and a Coronary Angiogram later and I'm now the owner of a 48mm stent in my heart. At the age of 54 this was a real wakeup call, I'm home now and feel ok thanks to everyone @FrimleyHealth #FrimleyParkHospital

@sadknob 🤣 I'd prick my ears up and wag my tail if someone sang that to me in the morning!

[Simon Monk @ThePhantomMonk]

@sadknob I also used to sing to him every morning, usually the words 'Dee Dee Dog' to the spiderman theme tune!

[Simon Monk @ThePhantomMonk]

@sadknob Lol, this made me chuckle, our dogs used to prick his ears up and look at you sideways if you said 'keys' in a conversation!

Looks like my local nature reserve has been saved, great news for the community and volunteers who have made the reserve such a wonderful place.

[Tice’s Meadow Bird Group @TicesMeadow]

Surrey County Council’s cabinet has just unanimously agreed a motion to purchase Tice’s Meadow Nature Reserve, with contributions from 6 councils in total.

Now we just wait for legal sign-off.

Visiting the family yesterday and we thought it would be a laugh to recreate this photo taken 53 years ago of my Mum, my brother and me when I was just 4 months old. The thing that got me the most was how our hair styles haven't changed a bit lol #thenandnow #photorecreation

We have now trained more than 2500 people in 10 different countries to respond to poisoning! #ScienceSaturday #LoveVultures

Without this vital work there could be local extinctions of vultures within 50 years.

Wallace the juvenile Bald Eagle @HawkConservancy Valley of the Eagles display on Friday attracted the attention of some wild Red Kites, look at the size of him in comparison. #lovenature

[Simon Monk @ThePhantomMonk]

Vultures are awesome, look how graceful they are and @tom_morath put on a good show too. Had a wonderful day @HawkConservancy on Friday, one of our favourite places to visit, they do great work and I had plenty of photo opportunities #VulturesAreAwesome

[Hawk Conservancy Trust @HawkConservancy]

@sadknob @pinkgodzilla2 Ooo, 'additional content' I like the sound of that mate, can't wait!

[Simon Monk @ThePhantomMonk]

@sadknob @pinkgodzilla2 I was wondering about the Transport audio book the other day, my partner's not a big reader but she loves an audio book so I'll have to grab one when its out! Can't wait for the sequel either, we all need a bit more transport in our lives mate.
