Voi’s orphans never miss a chance for a mud bath! As the temperature rises they plunge into the cool water, trumpeting and splashing with joy. Your support makes this possible. Help us give them the care they need to return to the wild: www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/donate #SundayFunDay

I see so many people posting lyrics or links to music that’s meaningful to them, and I think it’s glorious. Here’s my contribution: in “Casablanca” the Nazis are singing in Rick’s, and in an act of defiance, Victor gets the band to play “La Marseillaise” 🇫🇷 youtu.be/cOeFhSzoTuc

A friend of mine sent me a video about why digital readers haven’t destroyed the paper book. The pleasure of handling a book. The joy of turning a page. It’s value as a gift. It’s decorative quality on a bookshelf. All that before you’ve read a word ❤️ amzn.eu/d/6guCSZJ

Another book recommendation: People Who Like Dogs Like People Who Like Dogs by Nick Duerden. a heart-warming, spirit-raising read about the random relationships forged walking a dog. A brilliantly observed celebration of life in all its eccentricity, it will strike a chord with all of us dog lovers.

Why have @brighton-hove.gov.uk gone on a spree of felling hundreds of trees in multiple parks across the city? This is supposedly being done to prevent spread of ash dieback, but this goes directly against Forestry Commission advice:
