Aaaah.

This has been one of my most enjoyable books for teaching myself German xa

I am one of the many London parents who haven’t vaccinated their children against measles – let me explain COMMENT: A new outbreak of measles is spreading across north London, and it’s a wake-up call to all mums like me who didn’t give the MMR vaccines to our children, says Charlotte Cripps

I wasn’t sure if an hour’s drive across Dorset in the rain today would be worth it, but it was, better for the rain (I think they were Little Grebe as a bonus on the pond), and the soup was good too Tx

I would be interested to learn about the management of fire, including fire prevention, in aggression and everyday situations xa

If you have time please could you elaborate (I know Duolingo well)

I had the same thought earlier, thinking about the Parents Music Resource Center campaign:

Hi Vikki and Team
That link produces this message on my PC, which is a bit offputting...?

V. happy to have you with us, Annette

Hi Ian
I have looked and cannot find a clear explanation of the blackbird's all-blackness. Is it because it is a young bird?
Thanks (and thanks in general)
Ann

Watching one the other day, I was struck by how small a ripple was made when it dived (which would be sensible) xa

good nails xa

This was pretty good when I was last there www.instagram.com/elsies_habes... xa

When I pointed out its' error - and in fact it'd included an internal inconsistency - I got: "You are absolutely correct to point out the inconsistency in my previous explanation, and I apologize for that significant error. My explanation...was indeed muddled (and) flat-out wrong for the article."!

What he said. You have been part of my Sunday Morning Walk ritual. Thanks to all, including Dili and Kat xxa

Hi Steven
Just to show I've been paying attention, thought I'd note that the Bluesky link here isn't working, for me anyway xa

Hypera rumicis - Wikipedia

Before I ever had my kids, I said they wouldn't pay off until they were 21. (I enjoyed the pre-21 bits, but think I was pretty much right) xa

Health professionals have a non-onerous minimum practice requirement to meet to keep up their registration to work ongoing in their field. I couldn't support this request unless it respected that - thoughts?

You might enjoy this, Bazalgette adjacent www.instagram.com/reel/DJYcFtN...

Thank you - that was my guess when considering Vikki's request to support

You are very good at this xa

Hi Vikki
Please could you arrange for someone to let us have the evidence as to the proportion of heath fires that are caused by such BBQs, I couldn't find it but would always want to support a proposal where there is evidence

Hi Caitlin
I can't do the subscription but I wanted to say thank you for letting me enjoy your columns this evening xa

from personal experience (of replying rather than DMing), could be trying to signal good intention and avoid a mean response?

Thank you: brilliant

I was the same - just didn't get sent the bad stuff (even the lady-bots seem to have given up on me recently) - but also very rarely felt the need to debate there

I have a small fish pond - netted off from (urban) heron, yes, they kill, and two small no-fish-allowed ponds. (Though actually one is an old horse trough, on the drive outside the kitchen window) xa

I believe you will eventually love this. (But you might like it as much if there weren't fish: lots of other sorts of life to enjoy. Think watching tiny newt larvae growing...)
