@rebeccacaine.bsky.social Tom Lehrer died. 😥

I am not longer a teacher. Would anyone like any chocolate? Car is full.

@sourdust.bsky.social Happy birthday, matey. May the coming year be filled with happiness and joints that don't seize when you stand up.

In today's episode of 'Well, they didn't cover this in teacher training' I offer rescuing populating bumblebees from the playground.

SO not cake-baking weather!!!! #PeeHugh

I tried growing grass trays to feed the wee beasties. I think I can claim success. I now just need to have enough trays to cycle round.

If anyone wants 2 stalls seats for Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake at Wales Millennium Centre on Thursday at 2.30 next week, I have a pair. They cost me £120. I will consider offers. Or you could come with me so I am not Billy No Mates. I can't return them or exchange for a different show. PLEASE SHARE

Ah, the sweet, sweet joy of the 2nd day of school holiday sore throat.

There are some fabulous double/triple negatives in this. Also, who would give a child food in a toilet cubical, regardless of their particular needs? And if he could turn taps on & off, he had access to water. Don't misread me. This is appalling and someone's head needs to roll, but report it well.

@owswills.bsky.social @aldupres.bsky.social Please can I have some Welsh help?

@sourdust.bsky.social One of yours? Innocuous sitting in the kerbside at Sainsbury's click and collected point. Bizarre doesn't quite cover it.

Bore da!

I am officially an ex of X. Good riddance.

@reecedinsdale.bsky.social No more corridor encounters with actors. Tennis club has ended. Probably just as well as last Thursday I was pottering about school in a giant fox costume. The thing I value most about teaching is the dignity it affords one as a professional.

@rebeccacaine.bsky.social Waving!!!!!!!

Wow! Brave, thoughtful and right on the nail.

And in today's episode of ridiculous happenings: It has cost me over £200 less to insure my car by going to my provider via Go Compare than it would have done by just renewing. With the same provider. For the exact same cover. Oh, with no-claims protection added. For the same car. Is it me?

@realdollyparton.bsky.social I am so very sorry for your loss. May you find some peace in your best memories as time passes.

Post you from a different era.

Does anyone else whisper in the tiniest voice, 'Go on.' Or 'After you.' When you wave someone across a road or when you let another car into the line? I also say, 'You're welcome.' When they wave or flash their blinkers to say thank you.

@dredbeveridge.bsky.social A very late happy birthday to J. Xxx

Something of a contrast to the cluster**** happening on the other side of the Atlantic.

We need to change the way of things. The world is in such a precarious state, we have to declare our allegiance to what is right, not to what is traditionally expected of us. We need to immediately realign ourselves to our European neighbours & call out the vile, tawdry dealings of Trumps America.

Wee luv brokklee

I am absolutely, totally and utterly not earing chocolate whilst in the bath.

@sanjeevbhaskar.bsky.social LOVING #Unforgotten. I've had to binge-watch the whole lot and now i am late to bed on a school night!

In the attic so far: 7 bags of rubbish 1/2 a box of stuff worth keeping.....

@reecedinsdale.bsky.social Slightly discombobulated to come face to face with R Harrington Esq. in the corridor at school (work) this afternoon! I was too much of a wimp to say hello. And I didn't have any cake on me.

@matt.cymru I am singing our favourite song today.

School inspectors starting tomorrow. Wishes luck.

NIGHTMARE! I have to move out of my current residence by Feb 15th. New letting has fallen through. If anyone knows of a flat/house within a sensible distance of Cardiff, PLEASE let me know. Unfurnished ideally. 2 bed but 1 or 3 is OK. HEEEEEEEEEEELP!

The Inspectors Are Coming!!!!!!!

@brianbilston.bsky.social I read Refuges in assembly. When I finished, the children bust into applause. It was very moving. You star.

There is a relatively new branch of Sainsbury's near me. I just clicked and collected and, somewhat randomly, there is a memorial stone sitting by the parking bay. Any of your lot, @sourdust.bsky.social ?

What did you do this morning, Carol? I started packing up the kitchen ready to move; I fixed the broken washing machine and wrote a veree badlee speld email to Mum from the guinea pigs saying thank you for their Christmas gifts. It is remarkably difficult to spell words egzactlee az thay sownd.

@karin-sch.bsky.social www.facebook.com/share/r/1Wny...

@anncleeves.bsky.social Please say a huge thank you to BB. She is wonderful.

@anncleeves.bsky.social NOOOOOOOOOOIOO! Not Kenny. 14 seasons of secret crush ....

Blwyddyn Newydd Dda, ffrindiau.

Another New Year's Eve. Another early night.

I consider it cruel to bait me with 'UK-wide snow storm' headlines, which actually report half a teaspoon destined for Shetland. I like snow. I want snow. I deserve snow.

RIP President Jimmy Carter. A rare man of honour, kindness and humility.

The Nun has been visited. The M5, M4 was no fun in the misty rain and with loony drivers. One more evening with Mum then back to dragonland.

@reecedinsdale.bsky.social Nadolig Llawen. Thank you for making Blue Sky warm and welcoming. Please accept this virtual cake.

Nadolig Llawen to all you lovely blue sky peeps. It's nice here. Let's keep it that way. X

@sourdust.bsky.social Found myself behind a BMW635 on my way home from work today..

Absolutely love it when I get bullied by another adult. Being spoken over is fun too. Or you could choose yo speak to me like I am stupid. Take your pick. Everyone else is doing at least one of those things. #atbreakingpoint
