Handy hints to help your food last longer and avoid waste from SITA UK:
1) Keep your fridge between 1-5°C and your freezer at -18°C to keep your food fresher for longer
2) Feed your freezer with food close to its use by date or leftovers to be used for another day. A full freezer works more efficiently, so you can save money on your electricity bills at the same time!
3) Keep track of your kitchen cupboards. Take note of items that need to be used first and plan your meals using these ingredients.
4) Keep potatoes in a dark, dry, cool place out of the plastic bag to make them last longer.
5) Remove pre-packed salads from their plastic packaging and place in a sealed container to help stay fresher for longer.

Annual Perseid meteor shower

If the skies are clear, get out the deck chairs and spend an hour in the dark looking upwards - the annual Perseid meteor shower peaks on the night of August 12th.

Shooting stars can appear anywhere in the sky, so best simply to sit where you can see as much sky as possible, away from bright streetlights; no need for telescopes or binoculars. An hour's stargazing will usually yield a dozen or so shooting stars.
