I noticed in the reference section in the central library a book on one of the tables about a nature recovery plan for Hull and the surrounding east riding of Yorkshire area which I found very interesting indeed and one of the project leaders for one of the projects mentioned in this book was a guy I know from Yorkshire Wildlife Trust. Also, one of my tree planting mini project sites was given a mention with the tree planting that took place along with the bird boxes and wildflower pockets that were added, although it was long before I started planting any of my trees there.

I also liked how it mentioned removal of invasive species to help make room for our native species, but here's what I found to be hugely disappointing: there was zero mention of any plans either in Hull or anywhere in the east riding to attempt to eradicate the grey squirrel and reintroduce the red squirrel. All what it mentioned about other species getting reintroduced was exciting to read, but no mention whatsoever of anything to do with squirrels I found rather depressing. If we are serious about restoring our nature, surely squirrels play a huge part in this?

I played Flip 7 with a completely different group to that one where I gave two freeze cards to a guy who had never played Flip 7 before, instead, I gave it to the host of the game, who's copy it is, luckily for them, they still ended up winning at the end for the first time, previous times I often saw them get the lowest score at the end.

We had one guy in this group also who had never played it before, but I thought better than to pull the same stunts as I did in the other group, in fact I tried encouraging him to bank his numbers when he got six high numbers as I could see he was quite high on the score board and I actually didn't mind if he overtook me and as a result he got quite a healthy score at the end.

Me and two others played it earlier this evening, none of us having ever played it before, we played two rounds of it, first round I got the lowest score, second round I got the highest score, but I really enjoyed both rounds and would give the game overall a 9/10 rating.

I also really loved how this game brought out a side in one of the other two I played with I rarely see, I hardly ever hear them use swear words yet during this game, he said quite casually I'm gonna fuck you over with this when blocking our color paths.
