@stephenmcgann.uk RE: #CalltheMidwife. The arrival of this little treasure through my door in an envelope with a familiar ship on it in the very early days of the 1990s made me dance around the house with joy. It will NEVER be sold. #BluePeter

@stevehofstetter.bsky.social Hi, Steve! Regarding your UK Slang video on YouTube, you may be interested to know that in the UK, a 'trump' is a word we use to describe a fart. Very apt, eh?

@stephenmcgann.uk After the first episode of #CallTheMidwife last night, I asked me mother if she joined in the bra-burning of 1971. Her reply was simply "no".
The show is now set in the year before my mother and dad got married, and just 6 years before I appeared on the scene... I feel old.

@stephenmcgann.uk Well... if this isn't the cutest thing I've read for a while...
"Mice seem to assist pregnant females when they get into difficulty giving birth, with experienced mothers being the most helpful. This is thought to be the first official sighting of such assistance in non-primates, and so expands our knowledge of caregiving behaviours across the animal kingdom."
Mouse 'midwives' help their pregnant companions give birth
Scientists have observed mice helping each other when they encounter difficulties during birth, prompting a rethink of caregiving among rodents and other animals

One of the manifold annoyances of #planespotting - when one of your favourite planes ( #Airbus A380) flies by your window and your attempts to view it are crushed by cloud.
