It's the free children's theatre this week! This year it's after the end of the school year rather than before, so have no kids. Still gonna go every day, cos it's fun. Tonight I met up with some other parents without kids 😋

the cobra one might interest....different colours avail , just dont choose black as it will not show up www.redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/CO...

Yup yup yup

On my way, Clacton.

Had a successful day of teaching. My Renault student made my mind boggle with her supply chain/production scheduling wizardry. Took plenty of notes but am still not sure what an SOP is!

It's hot again, so my shorts are getting skimpier and skimpier 😋

🫶🏻

Here's an idea. Tax the rich.

The new restocking system is going well! We have half a toilet roll left, in the men's room. No hopes of it being restocked before Monday.

Oooh!

Tetanus is returning. In the 1930s, Tetanus was widespread in the US. The development & deployment of vaccines reduced annual cases from ~ 600 in the 1940s to 17 in 2020. Mortality dropped 99%. There is no cure for tetanus. We have forgotten how life was before vaccines. 🧪 archive.today/c6QVx

Looks beautiful doesn't it. New window frames with old mould.

🇫🇷 France's far-right chief Marine Le Pen is bracing for a key verdict on Tuesday that will determine if she can run in next year's presidential elections, when her party has its best chance yet of winning power. ➡️ u.afp.com/SKnU

The windows are open 😊😊😊

Found back the cat under the sofa. Figures. No work this morning, and all caught up with my notes, so I might just watch TV!

Sitting here sipping my tea while the junior window fitter does his "finitions". The other members of the team are starting in another apartment. The cat is nowhere to be found, hope he is OK 🥺

People who spiral out overusing LLM chatbots are really just experiencing the kind of brain-damaging stream of unconditional validation that’s always been the norm for the hyper-wealthy, which explains a lot.

Rubbish sleep. Went to bed too late as had my second tea too late in the day (got back home at 3:30) and too many interruptions with the stupid football. All the same, very pleased with the result. De Rode Duivels hebben ze een poepie laten ruiken 😁

Garmin pretends that it can predict your period, but it is set to 28 days, regardless of how many years it has been tracking your period. Mine structurally starts several days earlier 🤦‍♀️

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Finished my bowl of pasta salad and now I feel like ice cream.

France is burning … literally and figuratively. #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming

@mikert1986.bsky.social I know you're not doing so well. Don't forget there are people who are happy to listen if you need to offload. Difficult time for you x

This is what our windows look like in the sun. Do you see that orange bit? That's the sun shining thru the foam. They cut out our old windows and did not fill the space with another solid material. Tomorrow they'll cover the foam with some ugly plastic, but is that gonna keep us warm in winter?

Good gout, really what you wish to give to your baby...

We have new windows, but we're not allowed to open them 🤣

Det är början av slutet

The new windows are a thing of beauty 🙄 Tomorrow they're coming to do the finishings, so I assume they will be covering the ugly bits 🤣

I have still not been paid. It's the 6th, for fuck's sake!

They're here. Of course the one instruction I give them is ignored: to shut the apartment door because of the cat. 🙄

Waiting for those window people

"Switzerland bolted 5,000 solar panels onto a dam wall 8,000 feet up in the freezing Alps where everyone said solar made no sense, and the plant now makes three times more winter power than any farm down in the valleys" www.ecoportal.net/en/switzerla...

Antanas Sutkus. Lithuania. We tend to think that children are our extensions, a reflection of the adult world, but this is not true. Children have a life of their own, a world of their own with its own laws, rules, its own happiness and sadness.

And did you know Trine is also a singer?

We've passed our high of 27 and the temp's going back down. It's been cloudy and I've been in all day, too much to do. Some admin, some lesson prep and clearing away things for the window fitters, who are coming tomorrow. My body is quite done with this. No time to rest up for the working week 😥

Meh

Teachers are already reporting that AI detectors ding their brightest students for using AI, and that those students have figured this out and started simplifying and genericizing their prose to avoid getting punished for using AI.

They tell me I’m uncultured, but I’ll always recognise a bit of Beethoven.

"Americans estimate that roughly twice as many of their political opponents hold extreme views as actually do. One reason for this is that politicians, the media and academics like us tend to highlight how Republicans and Democrats are different from one another. Social media algorithms..." 1/2

Thought I might be eligible for the prime de carburant. Not sure now. I drive more than 3000km p/y, but more than 8000. On average, each trip is more than 15km (I am assuming by "chaque trajet" they mean inbound and outbound), but my trips vary wildly in distance (the office being only 11 km away)

It's great that there are ads telling me to only shower for five minutes while sociopaths keep building data centres that suck up all of a country's water so they can generate pictures of Bowser with big naturals

The amazing Sandi Toksvig says #TransRights at #Pride.

Fan! I picked it up and Will's just put it together 😊

Bon appétit!
