My natural history book of the year is ‘Urban Plants’ by @trevorthebotanist.bsky.social
Informative, entertaining and inspiring - after reading it you will never walk down a street, pass by a wall or look at a grass verge in the same way again. Highly recommended @bsbibotany.bsky.social

Secondly, it was achieved by the EPP after breaking down the firewall with the far right to:
- shut down compromise with the centre left

Why is it, when I look straight at the blurry sun with no glasses = my eyes are fine. But if I so much as glance at it with glasses on, I've got it painfully scorched on my eye back about 4 times and can't see properly for 5 mins? Must be a sciencey answer somewhere.

If I'm still awake when I get out of this bath then I'm taking part in at least one later round. Would love to manage this sort of thing every time.
