@w_coales Yes.

@learnedlion Seriously?

@w_coales I think that this is it duckduckgo.com/?q=image+map+b…

@learnedlion Looks like a white admiral

Can anyone help i/d this? Sächsische-Schweitz 1st July, but no bigger than a small white. Sorry it’s such a poor photo

@Lufthansa_DE I would if I could. DM me or working

@learnedlion Hello, thank you for contacting us. I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Could you please send us a private message with your booking details? /Lilly

Goodness me, when things go wrong with @Lufthansa_DE there is no Plan B. They don’t have a direct handle on X for customer service, I note. And as for Frankfurt Airport, a clunkier WiFi would be hard to find.

@w_coales Which was my first thought - but it was very small. Mind you, there have been many very small peacocks here. Odd.

By the sound of things, senior management failure at @Eurotunnel. Not even communicating with their passenger facing staff.

Utter shambles @eurotunnel today. No proper information, no under standing of the cause.

@BarbicanCentre signage reminiscent of the NHS at its worst. Is this a ‘60s ‘we know what’s best for you’ hangover?

First class commitment to quality, equality and continuous improvement. The body of her work is a blueprint (sorry @PhilipJCollins1 ) for other regulators.

@mariusschober @rorysutherland Sadly only too true. Witness the UK’s failure to understand the urban potential of the Heathrow pods…

"Marketing is half of innovation. it's one thing to have a good product or a good idea – the behavioral change necessary to get people to adopt it is arguably the more difficult part of the problem" — Rory Sutherland (@rorysutherland)

Deeply saddened by news of Prof David Taylor. A friend and colleague for 40 years, intelligent, challenging, above all fun. I will miss him, as I’m sure will others, especially in the world of pharmacy.

Many people have argued for this for some time. Not only is it essential to ensure best care, its absence is clearly a safety issue; incomplete records are a source of unmanaged risk to patients.

Today at Northcott Mouth, North Cornwall, we have seen more butterflies - Whites, and especially Red Admirals - than we’ve seen in the UK for the whole of the last month put together. A very modest silver lining to the gloomy cloud

For many in the UK, 2024 was the year without a butterfly theconversation.com/for-many-in-th… via @ConversationUK @lunduniversity

Worst year ever for butterflies (no surprise). Yes to finally banning neonicotinoids but a reminder that neonics are widely available in bug sprays from garden centres and supermarkets for home use. "No exceptions" means banning them too @savebutterflies theguardian.com/environment/20…

Purple Emperor today at top of Mont Chery in the Alps, 1826m. Buzzed me aggressively, in fine form

@ChelseaFC The online ticket portal isn’t showing Braga/Servette. Has it failed?

@Vampcat66 Yes. A consistent quiet celebration of good things, and a source of reflection

@learnedlion Thank you Nigel. That is a slow tonic in a fast world.

I cannot recommend Andy Marshall’s Digest highly enough as a place to start the day: digest.andymarshall.co/andy-marshalls…
