I counted 7 fox cubs in my garden this morning - no better start to the day @BBCSpringwatch

@ruth_comerford @BBCNews @theipaper Congrats Ruth!!! Very very exciting news 🍾🗞️

🚨Very excited to be joining the digital news team @BBCNews full time from Monday! 🥳 Big thank you to my most regular freelance employer the absolute crackshot team @theipaper ⬇️A short short thread of some pieces I've enjoyed working on:

@BarnesOwl It’s brilliant, but would be a shame to go round in under 45 mins. I think 1-1.5 hours would do it justice, but I happily wandered for just over 2 hours.

Been to the BL so many times and never realised it looks like a ship - feels like one of those optical illusions clicking into place

@jesswade @demarionunn wow! such a fascinating character

@fibatchelor @demarionunn my grandparents knew him! they stayed in a house of his in the ‘70s

Super interesting read this morning, on Britain’s food ‘heritage’ and (new to me) the man who founded two of London’s most recognisable artisan food brands @demarionunn theguardian.com/food/2024/jan/…

@DaisyPooler heartbroken knowing I will never eat here again 😭

noooooooo!!! such sad news. one of my favourite places to eat during my Manchester days 😭💔

@Natures_Voice here in West London we are seeing a noticeable uptick in the number of jays this winter - multiple in garden at a time where as previously always solitary, and even on the street in surrounding trees. Wondering if this is being seen elsewhere?

@siobhanliadoyle Congrats Siobhan!!

After over five months of job hunting, I’ve finally gotten a job offer. 🥺

A reminder.

@PopCrave @AJordanTattoo such a shame you have already booked your honeymoon :(

Shrek’s swamp will be available to book a stay at on Airbnb starting October 13.

@louisezus Also sorry I was unclear in my tweet, the army themselves weren’t involved, just that it was his future army career which was used as a justification.

@louisezus I do regret not going to trial now 7 years on, but I did what I felt was right for me at the time (not wanting the guilt on my conscience of having chosen the harsher route - even though it happened!!).

@cattothemac @parkrunJP @JRPass Who needs luggage when you have the inimitable uniqlo crossbody bag? 🛄

@parkrunJP @JRPass Where is your luggage? You may be wondering as I pedal my way around 🇯🇵 Japan has a great postal service called Kuroneko which allows you to send anything, from golf clubs to suitcases, from A to B! The low maintenance, backpack life is the shizzle.

Cat Mac in Japan: a thread. Maybe. After a 9 year hiatus, I’ve taken 2 weeks off work & am finally en route back to 🇯🇵 After almost a decade, & what feels like my entire adult life, I’m intrigued to see how it will have changed. And what will be the exact glorious same 🍱🍡🥟

I’m currently available for freelance writing gigs while I look for a full-time job... I have written first-person pieces, news, book reviews, and articles on motorsport, robotics, sustainability, space, culture and politics to name a few. Please RT! #journorequest #freelance

*missing person* Please retweet and reshare. Come home my darling friend. I love you. Gboyega Odubanjo since 26th Aug please get in touch with Northamptonshire Police on 101, quoting ref MPD1/2619/23. He’s been missing since Shambala. More details below m.facebook.com/story.php?stor…

Morality police attacks a woman not wearing hijab in a car. Watch her fight back despite getting punched in the face. To the undecided men: choose a side. And for the sake of humanity make interventions. This woman is all women of Iran. You’d do well to support them.

For the first time ever, two innovators win the Africa Prize for Engineering Innovation, for technologies in affordable security and women's health. The event was held in Accra, Ghana, in-person for the first time since the pandemic: raeng.org.uk/news/for-the-f…… #AfricaPrize

The most emotional award ceremony I’ve ever watched - so proud of these joint winners making history for the #AfricaPrize! 🇺🇬🇿🇦 It was an incredible night even to experience virtually, with some unbelievable talent on display. Can’t wait to see what they achieve in the future.

I hope as suggested, these guys get involved with @iamwill’s philanthropic initiatives in STEM opportunities for inner-city kids. Incredible and important work, and will.I.am makes the point that anyone with the resources should be a ‘server’ for the underserved.

Super cool panel at #HxGNLIVEGlobal today - lucky enough to hear from @iamwill, Andy Pratt @Microsoft, Tom Soderstrom @awscloud, and Tyler Mincey, who was part of the team developing the first iPhone alongside Steve Jobs. Discussing innovation, and how to make ideas scalable.
