Talk of the residents of places like Bergamo being able to glimpse the signs of spring coming from their windows, but unable to get out there amongst it, makes me think of how – if things go on for a while in this frame – the collective impact of all the public grassy areas not being mown, weeds not being sprayed, wild areas left unmolested etc. etc. should at least give a whole load of insects and other invertebrate life a real headstart this spring, and hence so too the birds, amphibians, reptiles and small mammals that feed on them, and so forth.
Multiply that up across the continent, or around the world, and a lot of species could find themselves with some rare and precious breathing space.

Missed my last two night shifts over the weekend since we had to start self isolating because my daughter was showing symptoms.
If parkrun gets cancelled for the next few weeks /months my boy's PB and first place will be on show for longer than a week.
But the cut in C02 emissions may not be a good thing. See 2005 horizon programme which looked at sharp rise in global average temps when flights over the USA were stopped after the twin towers attack.

Originally posted by elguapo4 View PostI remember reading somewhere that if it wasn't for the second world war the North Atlantic would be completely barren of sea life. In the thirties there was absolutely no regulation and the Norwegians and Icelanders were still whaling on an industrial scale. Once war broke out, all that stopped and gave aquatic species 5 years of respite.

Despite all the piss-taking I've had to endure, both on here and elsewhere, it's now official: Crazy golf is a sport.
That means I have to shut my course - it's a "place of sport" - but, hey, I can let my customers sneeze each other to death over a cappuccino instead (the al fresco bistro is allowed to remain open).
