To be fair, Liverpool FC (mens) do have a lot of woe at the moment, and no amount of punctuation appears able to change that...

Not necessarily. It's more of a question of style than grammar, especially in the UK. The sentence is fine as it is.

Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Tomorrow is a hugely important day.

At 4pm, the UK Covid-19 Inquiry will publish its report into the UK’s pandemic decision-making & political governance.

I dearly hope our political leaders & decision-makers will listen, learn &, above all, act on the findings.

Because there will be a next time.

Last week, I stayed on a farm for a couple of nights and saw red kites flying, hares running and heard owls hooting in the nearby woods.

It was gorgeous.

I would have photographs but the kites fly very high, the hares run very fast and the owls hoot when it is very dark.
