• How to shave and groom male facial hair

  12-05-2019 16:00
  Always shave in or after a shower, using cream or oil – and don’t be tempted to get laser hair-removal on your faceWhen you shave, preparation is key. That means having a really hot face cloth and soaking the area, or shaving in or just after a shower. The hot water and steam softens the hair and open the follicles for a closer, easier shave. Always use a shaving cream or oil. Use a shaving brush to create a rich lather to raise the hairs when applying and then let it sit on your fac

• Insults, projectiles, well-intentioned fat-shaming: the perils of being a plus-size runner

  12-05-2019 15:00
  It is hard enough to exercise when you are overweight, so why do people feel the need to add their judgment to the workload?“Well, what is an athlete? It’s somebody that gets up, and does what they need to do. Just because they don’t look or act like an athlete doesn’t mean they should get singled out.”Elizabeth Ayres has been fielding lots of questions since her Facebook post about her experience at the London Marathon went viral. An official pacer for the event tw

• Gorillas weren’t missed: an alternative safari in Uganda

  12-05-2019 13:00
  Wildlife in Uganda usually means mountain gorillas but a simpler, lower-cost tour offers a wealth of other primates, tropical birds and jungle adventuresAt first we walk along the forest edge. On the right is a stone wall and beyond it women are weeding their potato patches. Watching them are two magnificent augur buzzards, eager to snaffle any rodents. Sunbirds loop in crazy arcs around our heads and a chameleon creeps away along a branch. “The wall was built to keep the wildlife out of t

• My son is figuring out personal dynamics, or maybe he’s just a creep | Séamas O’Reilly

  12-05-2019 10:00
  His pitiless eyeballing of fellow diners in the restaurant proves a little hard to digestIt starts off quite nice, lovely even. My wife and I will be enjoying a meal, only to hear adoring laughter, or cooing from the table behind. At this point, we’ll turn to see that my son has been staring at our delighted co-diners. We smile, too, but thinly, the way you might when someone on the tube says you smell nice. We’ve been through this before and know what comes next; a gradual unravelli

• Nature is blooming on social media, but not in the wild

  12-05-2019 09:59
  A stroll through the woods is instantly mirrored by a scroll through social mediaIt’s bluebell season and the dandelions are full. The woods near my house are dense with the last wild garlic. Tulips in the garden are blousy and drunken, and nature is everywhere. I’ve long identified as someone who casually spurned nature, agreeing it was too green and badly lit, but this year something appears to have shifted. Now I spend evenings coaxing strawberries to grow and weekends at garden c

• Rembrandt’s Holland: exploring Amsterdam and Leiden

  12-05-2019 08:00
  It is 350 years since the artist’s death but visiting these two Dutch cities you can still feel the echoes of his work, and follow in his footstepsRembrandt stares out at me all around. To one side he is young, eyes shaded beneath tousled hair, to the other he’s wrinkled, gummy and turbaned, and in between variously smiling, frowning, astonished, or confident beneath a wide-brimmed hat at a rakish angle. It’s a perfect start to my journey in search of the greatest of Dutch mast

• Fennel recipes | Nigel Slater

  12-05-2019 07:00
  This bulb can be a brute, so tame its aniseedy notes with cream and lemonWhen I can get my hands on a perfect bulb of fennel, its flesh smooth, white and unblemished, I like to shred it finely into slices so thin that they are almost transparent and toss them with olive oil and the juice of a lemon and its own finely chopped fronds. I usually go heavy on the black pepper, too, but use only the merest pinch of salt. It is a salad that carries just the faintest note of aniseed, but one that marrie
