These are literally the books that made me a reader - the very copies I read and reread as a kid. I love the fact my mum has kept them all from her younger years and still has them on display ❤️

Laura Aikman who played Sonia in #GavinAndStacey didn’t tell ANYONE she was back for the Christmas Special — she even stayed alone in separate hotels during filming to avoid leaks — and this is the moment her own family found out it was her marrying Smithy! 😭

A bit of a dream achieved. One day in the Lower Amazon and I have ringed a Hoatzin. These are one of the most primitive birds in the world that is considered as being a step away from the archaeopteryx.

Linguists estimate that it takes about 1,000 years for a language to change enough that people at the beginning and end of the 1,000-year period can't at all understand each other. This holds with English—if you went back to the year 1024 AD and walked around England, you wouldn't understand what the hell anyone was saying because they'd be speaking Old English, which is really a very old version of German.

What's weird is that it also holds for the future. If you time machined to 3024 AD and (if somehow humans and countries are still around) walked around New York or London, you probably wouldn't be able to understand anything people said.

This process happens slowly enough that in any one lifetime, we don't really see it happening. But if you look closely, you see it. Think how confused a 1990 person would be if you asked them to help you find that lit meme about crypto podcasts everyone was posting on their insta stories. Or think about the terms and phrases your grandparents use that have gone out of style and no young person would ever use. Or even the slightly different ways old people and young people pronounce words. Now multiply this little bucket of differences by 20 and you have a totally different language.

Chris Sutton's preview of the Netherlands vs France game is thoroughly enjoyable
