Photos of a few of the 5,000 new species identified which have been found in the Pacific Ocean:

But under one of the photos is this warning : "There are plans to mine the zone for deep-sea metals which could put the nature of the area at risk."

find this fascinating EL we know more about space than the oceans  but not sure about  putting the nature of the area at risk -thank you EL

Good morning everyone

Another warm and sunny day here.

Small update on that sinkhole. Severn Trent say it's not water related. So it's the local council highways department to do the repair work. Road expected to be closed for another 2 weeks.

I hope everyone has a good day

That’s a bit worrying if it’s not water causing the sinkhole. You may live on a sinkhole area

Moonie, the sinkhole might have been caused by a combination of things such as the amount of rain in the area for some weeks here, general issues with road maintenances locally, but more likely the number of heavy goods vehicles going down that road, a road not really intended for those.
Work is ongoing in the construction of a new access road in the area on to the A40 Northern bypass. It's hoped that once that's done, heavy vehicles will be able to use that in preference to roads which aren't really suitable for them.

The road where the sinkhole is would have been more for agricultural use rather than mining years ago, so won't be something like a mine shaft.

All you say is probable

Slim, very little of interest on the Talking Pictures tv channel over the coming week. There's a very short item under the "Look at Life" slot on Wednesday at 17.45. From 1965, a look at the River Thames from its source in Gloucestershire to the Port of London, where services are being modernised in order to keep traffic moving.

There's a hamlet about 4 miles south of Cheltenham called "Seven Springs". That's where the source of the river Churn is which joins the Thames near Cricklade. Thames Head near Kemble is the official source of the Thames. There are those who say that it should be Seven Springs as that is further away from the mouth of the Thames than Thames Head.

There's an episode of "Midsomer Murders" which might get shown this evening but ITV could well decide not to at the last moment. May be the first time shown in the UK but it was shown in Sweden in August 2021.
It's the 5th episode of the 22nd series. There's a 6th episode of that series and there are 4 episodes in the 23rd series which have been made and shown elsewhere.

The programme is produced by Bentley Productions, a subsidiary of All3Media which is a British company producing programmes and films internationally.

Any particular reason why it shouldn't be shown El?

I used to watch Midsomer Murders' when John Nettles was in charge
