How to view Gmail contacts' birthdays in Google Calendar
I knew you could sync your Gmail contacts’ birthdays and events with Google Calendar, but I could not find the ‘Browse public calendars’ link mentioned in the post Contacts’ birthday and events calendar supported in Google Calendar. I found it instead under Settings > Calendars > Browse interesting calendars > More > Contacts’ birthdays and events > Subscribe

Found while getting lost. Sometimes I cherish my lack of sense of
directions.

7 things I did not know before watching Life
Last night I watched the first two episodes of the BBC series Life and learnt that:
- Cheetas are mush smaller than ostriches.
- Some fish can fly - well, glide actually but it’s impressive nonetheless.
- The sensors on a Venus fly trap must be touched twice within twenty seconds for the blades to shut.
- The Brazilian pygmy gecko is unsyncable.
- Komodo dragons can kill a much larger water buffalo with a single poisonous bite - and then wait for up to several weeks next to the buffalo waiting for it to die so that they can feast on it.
- Brown basilisk lizards can walk on water and are therefore nicknamed ‘Jesus’ or ‘Jesus Christ’ lizards.
- Dolphins are even more intelligent than I thought they were. A small group of dolphins in Florida make a circle of murky water by swimming rapidly, and then wait outside the circle to catch panicked fish jumping out straight into their open mouths.

My top for Sunday's race
I’ve just received the vest from the charity I’m running the Great
