    Did you solve it? Do you think like a physicist?

    The answer to today’s puzzle Earlier today I set you a puzzle about keeping homes cool in a heatwave. Here it is again with the solution. Imagine a room with a set of curtains. When the Sun is shining, its energy comes through the windows where it is absorbed by the curtains. The curtains get hotter and hotter until they reach a temperature at which they are radiating as much heat as they absorb. The curtains radi...

    Rukmini Iyer’s quick and easy recipe for courgette and whipped feta bruschetta with radishes | Quick and easy

    Perfect for an al fresco lunch spread, these bruschetta come together as quickly as they disappear … Fresh, light but filling – these bruschetta are beautiful to bring outside as part of a lunch spread.

You can get ahead by making the whipped feta and lemon ...

The moments of connection with this wild creature are incredible My children brought hawks into my life.

    The rave secret: why middle-aged women are larging it – and seeing big health benefits

    For those who are burned out, perimenopausal, or both, dancing all night can be a panacea. It’s great exercise, lowers stress, boosts energy and provides connection. No wonder so many are doing it It’s 4am and I’m in a club – the first time I’ve done this in years. I’m 51 and in my sandwich era, meaning I’ve got teenage and elderly loved ones on my mind – a situation that generally calls for early nights. But when...
