@JHBWater Water is off again for the 2nd consecutive day in Greenside after it returned last night following the completion of the unplanned maintenance of a pipe yesterday. What is the reason for today's outage?

What an absolute honour - I have no words 💫🌟 - to have been able to choreograph to @AlexisFfrench #Bluebird was a dream come true and to have been able to share with Alexis what his exquisite composition inspired & receive this gift of a post is an experience out of this world

Such beautiful Choreography to #Bluebird by Fiona Budd and superbly danced by the Val Whyte Bursary 2023 Finalists who performed it as part of their final adjudication. Bravo to all involved👏🏾👏🏾 Video by @/laugesorenson

Fungi allow #trees to talk to each other! 🍄 In 1997 they discovered that trees were talking to each other using mycorrhizal networks! These networks allow trees to share #nutrients and warn each other about droughts, pests and diseases. It's a "Wood-Wide Web." 🕸️🌲

This on par if not better than the Olympic James Bond scene. The Queen having tea with Paddington - incredible that at 96 and after 70 years on the throne she still has the power to surprise #platinumpartyatthepalace
