Excellent! Love the visdeurbel!

Spring has sprung and sunshine is on the way 🌞. Lidl has berry bushes and B&M has bare root fruit trees for £7.50! We used the fruit trees for our mini orchard in school, they've done brilliantly.

Wow. youtu.be/7fyufPkXLbs?...

Monty Don's wisdom about his new knee also describes one of the reasons for my dislike of ai.

Cleaning bird feeders after months of rain

The morning sun on my baby daffodils 😍 I knew these were a good idea.

Just watched footage of Nile Rodgers planting trees in Faughan Valley. What a legend.

Ah, this beauty will be stuck in my head today. Great advice from Mr Hannon.

As new school uniform regulations in NI are likely to make uniforms more similar from school to school, we might need new ways of building school identity and belonging. Bring back school songs! This was ours in the 80s. youtu.be/sxJZPWZ0aMw?...

Always something worth going to at Imagine festival in March, and this is just funny. vimeo.com/1165598774?f...

I loved Doppelgänger. And is this the only single in history to feature a romanesco cauliflower on the cover?

Good evening

Can I get one, please? Maybe not residential, but on-call 24/7, certainly.

Ach, away and play round yer own door. Sick of these corporate ones.

Trying to fit some work on next year's timetable around teaching today and reached the end of my patience when instruction booklet A says, if this doesn't work, make sure the procedures on page 4 of booklet B have been completed. Booklet B is a 3 page document. I'm done. It was a sweary day.🤬

Assisi and St Francis have a very special place in my heart and even though I'm an atheist, I understand why this is so important to people.

Low stakes gambling and crisps for tea. Halcyon days.

I love this show anyway, but michael J Fox's scenes in the new season have been on another level. The writing and his performance are wonderful.

Oops. He forgot too.

Today's lesson on mitosis was illustrated using my wee cuttings and this succulent that's just sitting in a dodo pot, cloning itself. Plants in classrooms are a winner.

For interested parties: DE have published their response to the consultation on the future of GCSEs and A-levels in NI. Proposed for first teaching Sept 2028, so if you have children in Year 10 or below currently, they'll be affected if it goes to plan. www.education-ni.gov.uk/consultation...

Last year I did a leadership project and course, but ironically my experience there and seeing what school leaders have to manage has put me off that path. The job is mostly to manage the continued underfunding of education, it's really a disgraceful situation. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Such an interesting discussion, and this short film is wonderful, saw it at QFT. To be broadcast on Sunday night/Monday morning on Channel 4, I think. Will set to record! www.channel4.com/news/nostalg...

Not only does this seem influenced by the Ford Escort canvassers of 1980s Belfast, but I'm also hearing 5 lighters for a pound in his intonation.

Transport yourself from all the gloom and rain and scroll through five minutes of exceptional photography www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

Had a great morning here yesterday, hoping to be of use in some shape or form!

Another fun half term excursion, to Riddel's warehouse. Accessible tomorrow and Wednesday for a jook around, and so worth it.

A full day of not rain.

Gonna stay out here until it goes away, just in case it's a while before we see it again.

Fantastic morning to finish my week off. The sun has come out, the coffee on the Cregagh is great, and had a brilliant look around Carnegie library at Oldpark. All fired up.

Well, that's a shot.

I remember the first time I heard this, through my Discman earphones in our back garden at home. Blown away by lyrics and music.

Have had good intentions so many times recently and then knocked the alarm off. Actually managed some swimming this morning, delighted.

I usually put my Tesco points towards our annual family holiday. But I've just cashed them all in to take myself over to London on a solo trip to see an exhibition. Of course, they go much further when they're not split 5 ways. Bed and breakfast in Kensington, dont mind if i do 😁

Great success story, but i have to admit my favourite bit is probably Anthony "Soda" Farrell 😂 I think we are world leaders on nicknames. www.newsletter.co.uk/business/to-...

A year ago. This was a fantastic trip, and the Museum of the Moving Image in Brooklyn is well worth venturing off Manhattan for.

Not grey. 😍

Husband and middle son are away to see Silence Of The Lambs at the pictures. Me and youngest have gentler viewing planned.

This is a test of stamina and endurance at this point.

Hard to convince me that this wasn't a better era for news broadcasts. Also feel like my dinner should be ready about now- sausages, beans and mashed potato shaped into a wigwam.

That picture of the king's brother has put me over the edge, have to do this. I made a conscious decision when I moved on here that I wasn't using it as a news source. Can't be avoided but I just can't hack reading about these awful, awful people.

"This world is intricately stitched together, boys. Every thread we pull, we know not how it affects the design of things. We’re but children on this earth, pulling bolts out of the Ferris wheel, thinking ourselves to be gods." ~Arn Peeples, Train Dreams (by Denis Johnson)

A decade ago, neuroscience said the brain finishes maturing around 25. Can I just pre-empt the declaration in a decades time that it's actually 42 (iykyk) and then the subsequent realisation that mental growth and changes in perspective in fact happen throughout a human life, until we die?

A beautiful thing for those of us who mourn the days when you turned on your TV and TV came on.

Hello, February!

February flutters in with more butterflies and moths to spot this month 🦋 As the days get longer and the flowers return, here are some of the species to look out for over the next few weeks in your gardens and local green spaces.
