    @datasift3r Lovely sky picture - it somehow promises spring.

    @donaldball @calimari Are there nevertheless microplastics in the dust in a domestic environment even if you mainly use natural fibres?

    @ValkyrieKerry Trying very hard not to laugh at this as I have laryngitis so laughing makes me cough at the moment.... So am trying to only smile - but it&amp;#39;s a losing battle.

    @NatureMC I keep on having to bring semi-sensitive plants inside as it&amp;#39;s too warm for them to stay inside but then we have a sudden -3 degrees forecast. My Oleanders though, seem generally fine in my conservatory (I don&amp;#39;t have a cellar) - I just put them outside again, also in winter when there is no forecast of frost for a few weeks.

    @NatureMC Good to see these pictures and hear that the flowers provide for early pollinators. I have lots of small plants of Viburnum tinus French White which I found online as a bulk special offer from Amazon France of all places - they will now be distributed around my garden.

    @NatureMC That&amp;#39;s great news re the tiny wild bees and hoverflies. I had always wondered if Viburnum tinus was actually good for wildlife - or just for humans in winter. I will look after them even more now &amp;amp; look forward to seeing what will come and visit the flowers.

    The total weight of Earth’s wild land mammals – from elephants to bisons and from deer to tigers – is now less than 10% of the combined tonnage of men, women and children living on the planet https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/mar/18/a-wake-up-call-total-weight-of-wild-mammals-less-than-10-of-humanitys

    @NatureMC Do you know what times/days the open door will be open? Is there maybe any information online about this?

    David Attenborough’s online Wild Isles isn’t too hard-hitting for TV – it doesn’t go far enough I was hoping for a film that would wake people up to the dismal state of British nature. This charming episode won’t do that Dave Goulson https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/apr/10/david-attenborough-wild-isles-online-tv-british-nature
