Evolution Keeps Reinventing The Appendix. Here's Why It May Be Important. Most people know only two things about the appendix: You don't need it – and if it bursts, you need surgery fast.

Really interesting new findings about the human appendix, an organ which most people know very little.

It looks like a Spanish one rather than a proper English one though.

Armageddon as a huge battle is not in the Bible. They may be thinking of that "Left Behind" tosh. That is only published and read in America BTW. The rest of the world does not believe that Rapture stuff.

Churchyard full of daffodils Scillas Early cherry plum blossom. Old St Lawrence Church. Sir Lionel Lyde started knocking it down because it was in the way of his view (to be fair he did build another, rather nice one, nearby, with his profits from the tobacco industry).

Glorious walk around Ayot St Lawrence.

Good book. Hard read but enlightening. Not one to read for fun, although it ends on a positive note.

Clinical trials without humans - the next AI advance? One evening this week I was just getting off a train when my phone rang.

open.substack.com/pub/rorycell... Just after learning I’d been accepted onto a major Parkinson’s drug trial I learned at a fascinating Cambridge conference that AI could one day replace humans in clinical trials

Have you read any Ngaio Marsh or Ellis Peters/Edith Pargeter (she published different series under different names)?

That's when I mix peanut butter with a banana (with yoghurt if available). Which is such a satisfying snack it might last me until the next meal.

Isaac Newton's house inside the palace. Traitor's Gate. The White Tower. Excellent pub. Serving Beefeater gin, of course!

Should be a care home. Let him think he's still in charge. Let him still "post" on social media. Should be possible.

My plant app suggested Witch Hazel. Apparently they are related. Lovely flowers!

Actually my hearing aids use it. It works fairly well, but I am getting new ones with updated AI next week which promise great things. We'll see.

Just jump up and down on the spot for 1 minute. Quicker and does not require a treadmill. Good for your bones as well.
