#editing #proofreading I read [past tense] the first proofs; the proofreader read them; I then read the proofreader's notes. If anything is wrong after this, readers will have to fire us both. I'm impressed that @OneworldNews are so thorough in this regard, as in all.

It's so hot, even the birds are singing less, to conserve energy, poor darlings.

A rare glimpse of an abandoned haggis farm on Rannoch Moor, the now flooded holding pens visible from above The farm closed in the late 1800’s due to criticism around intensive breeding methods, and the owners instead switched to mining tartan, although that venture didnt last.

Important Heat Dome update…the kids have declared that hand-waving with Chinese fans is woefully inadequate. I bought the last robot in the store…

#english 'respair' - a rare hope-filled noun, antonym of 'despair', as noted by the poetry-loving Dean of Southwark in 'Prayer for the Day' on Saturday just gone. A cleansing listen. Noun and verb both appear once in Scottish sources. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

@JimElliott95607 Thanks for that information. Mices are my favourite mammal, after capybara - well, and cats and dogs...

@JerMButterfield Small mammals (including squirrels, shrews, and harvest mice) passively pollinate plants, meaning they do not display any particular behaviour to collect pollen, and instead the pollen will stick to their fur and land on a different flower when they walk past. Trustgreen

#english #cliches If I see or hear 'elevate' (unless it's the Host or someone being ennobled or blood pressure) and 'consequential' again, I may well begin to foam at the mouth.

It's Whitsun, Pentecost, the summer festival when the Holy Spirit descends with fire. In this Anglo-Saxon image the flames touch the lips of each apostle, and even the sky has turned fiery red. 'Tongues of fire they had, when with love they preached the glory of God' (Ælfric)

I’m from West Kent and couldn’t believe it when I went to uni in Manchester that nobody else said ‘overlay’ for ‘oversleep’. ‘Oh no, I’ve overlaid!’ Are there any local words you use that no one else seems to use or know anywhere else?

If you see this photo, please leave a comment! 😊 This is a Swift, a very difficult bird to photograph at the best of times, but even tougher when low-flying, so I was thrilled to get this pic! 😀😍 Have you seen Swifts this spring yet? 🐦
