Warm, dry weather persists across the country following the driest spring in 132 years.
This is creating ideal conditions for wildfires to ignite and spread. Would you know what to do if you spot one?

I want to say something to the people with mental health conditions that have got in touch with me worried / panicked about the govt news on possible benefits changes... NOTHING HAS HAPPENED.
- The govt has put out a green paper. That is an EARLY STAGE consultation document. After that may come a white paper.
- These things are not quick, if they happen, and this is a general election year - so whether it will happen at a question.
This type of debate is given attention to create political news and put clear water between parties in an election year.
Sadly doing that in the area of mental health, can have a real human impact, terrifying people about changes that may never happen
So if you're worried about it, while I know its easy to say and hard to do, forget it - for now it is still political hot air.

At 15, Harvey was planning out his retirement snuggled on the sofa watching the world go by. But then his owner passed away and he suddenly found himself without a home or a future. 💔
Let's find sweet Harvey another chance at happiness this #Caturday 👉 bit.ly/3tJuQF5

While #NewYearsEve fireworks will be fun for many, horses like Indie will be terrified. Seen here, she is trembling and visibly sweating. 💔

During weekly lab meetings the people in my group present in one slide the highlights/progress of the past week. This is the best slide we’ve ever had. We laughed so much and hugged because: science is hard, it’s okay to admit it, and we are all in it together 🙂#mentalhealth

Today, nobody showed up to my 8.15am class.
0 students of about 40. Sitting in the empty room, I email them, trying to disguise my hurt feelings.
2 mins later, I get a reply: "Professor, we think you might be in the wrong room." So anyway off I go to live in a hole forever.
