A whole bunch of BAT FACTS! 

* They sing to each other in the mornings to get their fam to meet up.
* They're the first known mammal to naturally produce carotenoid pigments, which are usually found in plants.

* Males of the species have lighter coloured noses; one of the (fairly rare) examples of sexual dimorphism in bats.
* They create tents out of leaves that they roost in. These tents have been found to keep the roost 5°C warmer than if they used unmodified leaves.

Treated myself to some kitchen stuff today (well, yesterday) including a giant saucepan, a new roasting tin, some Tupperware, a turner and a nice, new carving knife.

And then I used all of them to make dinner! (Except for the turner, I guess.)

@sc Ah heck, I forgot about that too. At least it’s not hardware or iOS or anything I actually care about much.

Double action mint oral suspension sounds terrifyingly kinky.
