Five for Friday 245

Welcome to the Weekend,

Over the summer I started the habit of making sure to get at least ten minutes of sunlight every single day. So, when I came across this recent study from Nature showing spending at least two hours each week outdoors correlates with healthier, happier lives, I was quite pleased. It’s always nice to be reminded that some things we enjoy are actually good for us! Have you started any habits in lockdown that you’re planning to continue beyond 2020?

This week’s links are a real mish-mash:

Did you know we sent soil to the International Space Station in September?

The man who wants to run a Marathon Every Day.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Look at how 1918’s pandemic Halloween precautions and outcomes mirror our current times.

A look at the homes, which you can visit, of thirteen remarkable writers.

A Primer on Ancient Philosophy.

Currently reading: Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey

Enjoy your weekend.
