I’ve just watched the last Vera 😢 I read all the Ann Cleeves books and watched all the TV productions. And now it’s ended. As all good things have to but I’m bereft and sad

We’re home. Flip, it’s dark here isn’t it!

No way! One of the girls I taught in 6th form gained an Olympic gold medal for rowing AND has been honoured with an MBE!!! Amazing Lauren!!!!

Tiger!

This is Mumbai

I’m in India on holiday and it’s astonishingly wonderful. We’ve had loads of people asking to take photos with us 🤷‍♀️ but the best bit was a group of girls on a school trip. I heard this voice behind me, “Aunty?” I turned round and they were all excited and giggly and were overjoyed to talk to me…

It’s 2025! 🥳

Delete “education system” and insert culture, life, everything …

Some much needed advice I’m sure!

I’ve won Whamageddon! 🥳

Some good proposals here. open.substack.com/pub/timleuni...

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: possibly the most underreported story on earth is how Elon Musk, who not just the richest man on the planet but also puppeteering the US government, is actively talking to and promoting completely unabashed Nazis through his personal media platform

Utterly brilliant

Hit me with some great books to read please. I like drama , action and murder mysteries

Got a solid 9 hours sleep last night on the first night of my holidays. Phew! Term is done.

Can accounts I’ve blocked still see things I’ve written?

Deserves a quote post

A tale of two elves. There is a queue in the shopping mall to meet Santa. There are two elves keeping children entertained. One is clearly a drama student and treating each child like their parents might be a producer for Cbeebies. The other has clearly been forced into it. 🤣

Did you know?... Just as Kermit the Frog is the "actor" who played Bob Cratchit in The Muppet Christmas Carol, two "actors" named Miranda and Melinda played Betina and Belinda Cratchit, despite not having been previously established Muppets.

This picture I made will bring you joy (you have my word)...

Massive away win for the little fella.

What’s worse than going out in an early round of Whamageddon? Going away for Christmas so you won’t see the Gavin and Stacey Finale, that’s what 😭😭😭

It's not just the best film version, it's better than the original text because Scrooge ends up sitting down with Bob and not his awful relatives. Dickens must be kicking himself for getting it so wrong, and not including singing fruit.

I am very encouraged by this www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

So I’ve got a new car. And to celebrate and introduce him to my life I’ve been playing some “banging choons” whilst driving. I’ve got some fab playlists… And She Sells Sanctuary by The Cult came up. Bloody hell, how good is it???!!!

They don’t show when the supervillain gets invited into the president’s cabinet either

What proportion of students at your school have a SEND? I’m wondering if mine is typical or different

Amazing 😁

I’m making progress on my marking. Well done me. I might be mostly up to date by Wednesday evening 🤞🏼 I’ve also achieved a swim today. Finally I feel like I’ve made progress towards a work life balance. It took a change of school though

I’m watching Strictly. Fire is lit. Glass of wine. Having a lovely evening

I moved to North Yorkshire in the summer. Musings- it’s darker here than darn Sarf (I was only in the Midlands but still) And wetter And blinkin 🥶
