I think it is so important to spend time outdoors; it reminds us that we are part of nature, lets us connect with others and makes us feel good about ourselves. I hope you get the chance to get outside today? #GetOutsideDay
If alien life ever makes it to Earth, it's more likely to be coming at the speed of light, a digital hive of intelligence, than as little green people travelling in spacecraft. Or perhaps they're here already...a Swarm is Rising...

Great @Space_Station pass tonight over Central Europe.
If you are in the UK look SW at 19:56hrs. It will be passing high in the sky over southern UK, but appearing lower in the sky the further north you are.

Proving age is just a number, continuing to push limits and for a great cause. Huge respect Sir, to you and your team of veterans. https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/jonathanThomson2/3 @ptsdresolution #PTSD
My dad (76ish) Jonathon Thomson has just cycled across the Pyrenees, finishing a day early by smashing out a 138km day. All in aide of @ptsdresolution , an amazing charity helping out injured service personnel. Total respect #ptsd #cycling
