Make a #BeeFriendly space if you can. Plant for pollinators and provide a shallow water dish with pebbles.

Good piece from Fintan O'Toole who is always worth your time.

Likud spox seem to have no ability for listening or the concept of dialogue in an interview. They talk across their interlocutor relentlessly. It's ugly and not intelligent.

Children's reading. Wise and lovely from Frank Cottrell-Boyce “We’re a storytelling species…if we lose that, we lose our humanity!” 2hrs 29m in bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…
