Invergowrie Primary pupils got their hands (& some knees!) dirty when they visited our office last week to plant apple trees and flowers in our new rain garden.🌳
They tested our permeable paving and discovered how we are working to prevent surface water flooding in our car park.

The best of checkout shifts was always the slow Sunday mornings for me. Regulars wanting a chat. A newspaper with their messages.

I'd be told I was the only conversation in the whole week in some cases.

Loneliness is too easy to fall into, and so hard to get out again.

[Maarten VdA @maartenvda]

A Dutch supermarket chain introduced slow checkouts for people who enjoy chatting, helping many people, especially the elderly, deal with loneliness.
The move has proven so successful that they installed the slow checkouts in 200 stores.

Some may consider this in bad taste, but since I have COVID, I thought I’d do some experiments. From left to right: My iPhone screen and two light switches I use a lot; my bathroom counter after doing a saline nasal rinse; tears from my eyes after I sneezed.

So there we have it. It is confirmed that Scotland is snow-free yet again. The last patch, the Sphinx, disappeared sometime in the last 24 hours. The Sphinx has now vanished four times in the last six years, having done so only five times in the last 300 years. (1/2)

Do not let anyone convince you that you need to get sick to be healthy. This is very silly.

While the day we fully understand the immune system will probably never come, there are a few things we can say for sure about how exposure to microbes impact your immune health...

That's a MOON of Jupiter. Making an eclipse. On Jupiter. That I'm capturing "from space" 367 MILLION miles away. How could someone NOT become absolutely addicted to this hobby?
