New words in our house to describe my avoidance of work: 1. Pronapstinate - having a nap instead of working. 2. Prosnackstinate - hunting for food instead of working. 3. Probathstinate - having a bath instead of working. Currently attempting number 1. Might have a 3 later. #procrastination

I've been so swamped with work that i haven't had time to read my book in 5 days. 5 days! It's a travesty. Make it stop. #BookWorm #TeacherLife #EduSky #BookNerd #BookTok #Hobbies #Reading #Overworked

The worst bit about teaching is the admin. So much admin every week. There are not enough hours in a day to complete it all. Especially when you're neuro-spicy 🙄 #TeacherLife #EduSky #Education

Tonight in #DnD I adopted a donkey called Glue. He's telepathic. He's Minque's new best friend. #DnD5e #ttrpg #newfound #talkingdonkey

Happy New Year! We spent our evening solving crime, drinking wine and slaughtering each other at Scrabble. Misty helped @megalatron.bsky.social win one. #NYE #HappyNewYear #CatSky #BoardGames #CatsOfBlueSky

The 'kin' of ‘napkin’ means "little." ‘Nap’ comes from ‘nape,' which means “tablecloth.” So a napkin is a little tablecloth. 10/10, no notes.

New book time. This book cover is absolutely divine. Let's hope the book is too! #ChristmasBooks #Quicksilver #CallieHart #BookNerd #BookWorm #BookTok

Hahaha! Good one. #obsidian #OuterWorlds2

My 10yo melts me sometimes. We were having a conversation about Christmas and he stopped mid-sentence to say "your hair looks lovely today. Have you dyed it? It's a really nice colour!" He's either an absolute sweetheart or angling for extra presents 🎁 😂 #parenting #christmas #compliments

Watching #AHS Cult and my cat keeps slow blinking at Sarah Paulson whenever she comes on screen. As soon as she's gone - its back to grooming. She must be a big fan 😂 #SarahPaulson #CatSky #CatsOfBlueSky

One of my favourite things at the minute is the K-Pop Demon Hunters metal/rock/pop-punk covers. It's keeping me going this week 😂 #kpopdemonhunters #covers #music

Came home at about 8pm and my 10yo asked "can I stay up for a bit, as a treat? We can sit and read together with just the Christmas lights on. I'll read my book and you read yours!" I am always happy to oblige for that kind of activity! #neurodivergence #booknerd #bookworm #adhd #autism

WAS THAT ANOTHER ONE?! #UTV #AVFC

DID HE REALLY JUST SCORE?! #UTV #AVFC

Husband is out, child is at his grand parents. I came home to the cat yelling at me. I can do anything I want this evening but all I'm going to do is snuggle up on the sofa and read my book. Uninterrupted. (Except for the cat's yelling) Bliss. #BookWorm #BookNerd #Romantascy

Off to #MCMComicCon today. First time going and I'm excited and anxious (crowds). I get to see James McAvoy in the flesh. I might melt.

Saturday morning trip to Solihull. 5 new books and a coffee with my love. Happy Fran. #BookNerd #BookWorm #Coffee #Date #Romantascy

Just ordered brie on my pizza. It must be Christmas 🎄 #christmas #pizzahut #pizza #brie

My 10yo has showered, picked a shirt and chino combo (very smart), sprayed body spray "I gotta smell good" and insisted I put hair spray on his hair after he styled it to keep it looking "really good". Christmas school discos are serious business. #SchoolDisco #parenting #primaryschool

I had a break for a few (2) days because I couldn't choose which new book to start. But my husband chose this one for me so it's only right I give it a read. It better be good or I'm divorcing him. #BookSky #WhentheMoonHatched #BookWorm #BookNerd #NewBookDay

So... book 3.5 didn't take long. It was a lovely pallet cleanser after the heaviness of book 3. Now onto book 4... I'm not sure I'm ready for the series to end (for now). #ACOTAR #ACourtOfSilverFlames

Book 4. I'm honestly so happy with my Night Court edition versions of these books too. Aesthetically pleasing to my eye 😂 #ACourtOfFrostAndStarlight #ACOTAR #BookWorm #BookNerd

Michael Rosen. I didn't discover him until later on when I had my son (except for We're Going on a Bear Hunt). However, his poems are a staple in my classroom :) #Bookvember

Time for book 3! I think I'm a tad obsessed. #ACOTAR #ACourtOfWingsAndRuin #bookworm #booknerd

My parents would buy me the Guinness Book of World Records every year. Hands down the best non-fiction books I ever owned 😂 #Bookvember

The author who caught my attention - and that I remember vividly is Michelle Paver. I remember picking up Wolf Brother when I was 12, based on the cover (I know, I know) and was hooked. Her stories stuck with me. I'm thinking I'll have to dig the books out again for my son... #Bookvember

Tough one because there are so many. The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. A teacher told me at 7/8, "you shouldn't be reading that book. It's too hard for you." So naturally I read it out of spite. I loved the thought that an ordinary person could become part of the extraordinary. #Bookvember

Playing #TheOuterWorlds2 while I let @franjellix.bsky.social read #ACourtOfMistAndFury 🤣

Hello, I am Fran. I fell in love with reading when I was a small child. My dad introduced me to the magic of Narnia, The Hobbit and then the late, great, Terry Pratchett. I find it preferable to live in a fantasy world than the real one. #Bookvember

Starting #ACourtOfMistAndFury while I let @megalatron.bsky.social play #TheOuterWorlds2 😂

I've messed up so badly on The Outer Worlds 2. Thats 12hrs of gameplay down the drain 😂 #TheOuterWorlds2 #NewGame #PS5

Tonight's new book. I smashed the first two in 4 nights. Safe to say I love this series. Let's see what Evie and The Villain get up to this time... #AssisstantToTheVillain #ApprenticeToTheVillain #AccompliceToTheVillain #HannahMicoleMaehrer #BookWorm

I'm so excited. #OuterWorlds2 #PS5

Half-term yeeessss. More time for reading books! (If the cat lets me)

Me and Misty have just finished reading this book (I covered her eyes at certain parts 👀) It was delightful. Full of twists and turns and beautiful imagery. I look forward to reading the next one. #ACourtOfThornsAndRoses #BookSky #Romance #Fantasy #Romantasy #BookWorm #CatSky #Reading

When I read, I hear my own voice reading the words in my head. I've just found out that not everybody does this. Then I went down a rabbit hole of trying to find studies about internal monologues. Now I have even more questions and no answers. My inner Fran is not satisfied.

In the space of 2 weeks I've finished Wisteria by Adalyn Grace and Phantasma and Enchantra by Kaylie Smith and now I feel empty inside. I need more books. #BookNerd #BookWorm #BookSky

She's a great book perch. #Enchantra #KaylieSmith #WickedGames #NewBook #BookSky #CatSky #Cats

Second book of the week started today. #Phantasma by #KaylieSmith 120 pages in and I'm very much enjoying it. She has a fantastically descriptive writing style that has the characters and scenes painted beautifully in my mind's eye. #Book #NewBook #DarkRomance #BookWorm #BookSky

UTV! Bizot was MVP. Buendia was MVP. Maatsen was MVP. EVERYONE WAS MVP. #UTV #AVFC #UEL

"Board of peace". Goodness me, he's really desperate for that Nobel Peace Prize 😂

My son is so dramatic. #parenting #parentlife #parentsky #dramatic

My husband is away for the weekend and my cat came up and kissed me three times on the lips - just like my husband does. I guess she's my husband now? #catsky #catsofbluesky #marriedlife #newhusband @megalatron.bsky.social

Is it too much to ask for a day at home to read my book? #NewBook #BookSky #WorkIsOverrated

WE'VE GOT A GOAL!!!! WE'VE GOT A BLOODY GOAL!!!!! #UTV #AVFC

I took this picture of my cat, showed it to her and she stormed off. I can't stop giggling. #CatsofBlueSky #Cats #cutie #SillyCat #CatSky

Just saw the Wrestlemania 43 announcement. Absolutely not, pal. TKO is ruining WWE.

2 weeks down and the dreaded teacher flu has hit. Oh no. #EduSky #PrimarySchool #TeacherLife

I'm tired.

Husband: I understand how toxic Love Actually is. The guy is standing there with signs saying he loves her while there's a zombie apocalypse going on. Me: ... Husband: and Kiera Knightly is like "omg there's a zombie apocalypse and he's standing here declaring his love" Me: ... 1/2
