I’ve not been sleeping well in the heat, though this difficulty seems to disappear if you stick me in front of the TV. As a consequence tonight has been spent watching quizzes, snoozing, wrestling with an automated bidding system, eating a delicious meal of sausages and Mediterranean vegetables and taking Number Two son to work.
That leaves me with sixteen minutes to write this post.
There was an interesting radio programme on tonight, about invasive species and Acclimatisation Societies. These societies were an aspect of imperialism that is still damaging things today.
The invasive species in UK include Zebra Mussels. Their main effect in the UK, according to the programme is that they colonise drains and water supply pipes and choke the water flow. Not a problem I’d ever thought of.
Three minutes to go. Phew!
Well done. Concise but full.

Well done. I slept through the whole of Bargain Hunt at lunchtime, and much of the second episode of Keeping Faith (on BBC iPlayer) last night.

If they ever award medals for snoozing I expect to see you on the podium. 🙂

I know invasive species can be a real problem, but we have a lot of gall labeling other species as invasive. Hope it cools down so that you can get a good night’s sleep.

Thanks, I believe it will be cooling at the weekend. Yes, we are probably the worst of the invasive species. 🙂

We had zebra mussels here for a while, too, but something else invasive came along and ate them, I think. I must look it up…
