I asked the office to send out the updated schedule for parents. Unfortunately it was sent as a Google Drive link so I'm now getting access requests from all the parents. How's your day been?

Ed Davey, "I'm afraid Nigel Farage should be apologising for helping cause this problem in the first place" "Before Brexit we didn't have a small boats problem because we had 27 return agreements with EU countries and we could return people" -Maybe we should call them Farage's Brexit Boats

Post mammogram shopping might not have been the best idea.

@f33lthesun.bsky.social I succumbed to the life's too short philosophy!

Lovely walk in the sunshine today. Now having a carvery. Doing Sunday right.

A friend of mine lost her brother-in-law very suddenly. Her husband didn't get to Bangladesh in time to say goodbye. They've set up a fund to raise money to provide fresh water in his memory. Please consider donating. 🙏 www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/...

Mr B is currently unblocking the hoover as it's full of hair. I had to do the same to the shower yesterday. Hair serves no evolutionary purpose nowadays. Wonder if we'll evolve to have less.

Teacher friends, niche request, and a long shot but does anyone have old VHS copies of Talk, Write... and Read, specifically episodes 54. Cliffhanger: Part 1 17 Jan 1995 55. Cliffhanger: Part 2 24 Jan 1995 56. Over the Edge 31 Jan 1995 if so, please say hi!

Thank god it's Friday.

End of Wk 2. Takeaway. If you're a teacher and you're cooking tonight- hats off to you.

Anyone else struggling with the F2 baseline assessment website? Tried using it this morning and it was hopeless.

Anyone got any resources suitable for Primary around violence against women and girls? RTs welcomed.

Most eagerly awaited book this year! I love #KirstyApplebaum books. Thank you @bookwagonuk.bsky.social 😊

Nothing irritates me more than people not reading my email correctly. I hate being misunderstood.

"The era of trickle down economics was always a lie." @zackpolanski.bsky.social lays out the Green Party's plan for a fairer taxation system on Sky News.

Good news story !!

#DerrenBrown Eeeekkkkk!!!

On the same day in the Telegraph:

I only learned a few years ago that this is why life expectancy was so low. People were still living to old age but the huge numbers of deaths of very young children skewed the data. Let's not go back to it. #VaccinateYourChildren

Iconic moment at the Downton Abbey premiere

Kevin Maguire: "If you're put up in a hotel & you get meals you get £10/wk.. all these terrible myths.. free iPads.. myths & lies have gone mainstream & we've got to challenge them.. we've gone back to the worst aspects of the 1970s where racism is becoming mainstream" Well said

Prtscr button isn't working. Googled and tried all the ways suggested but my laptop won't print screen. Anyone got a magic solution? 🤞

We want to use @insighthq.bsky.social to track interventions this year. Is it better to do it as a 'Pupil Group' or a 'Provision'?

First day back went well. The most contentious thing was *word for bread roll* barm cake/batch/bap etc! 😂🤦‍♀️

Attendance is a thorny issue. I understand why parents want to take advantage of cheaper holidays. I would if I could. I think it's worth looking at reframing attendance. Someone close to me always missed the first week of term as their family went on holiday. Research shows that belonging is 1/3

Apple TV is making us sign in every time and there's just no need.

@leshall.bsky.social can't sleep either?

Amazing.

Must. Stop. Spending. Money.

I've somehow managed to turn on news notifications. Thought it was just Samsung but I've just clicked on one for the Daily Mail. Need to wash my eyes with bleach. How do I turn it off?!!

My house is an absolute state and I have no excuse.

I'm a terrible person. Standing in Next waiting to pick up a parcel and all around me are stressed parents and children trying to buy school shoes. I just feel smug. 😬 Like I said - terrible person.

Just remembered that today's the day that the #ThursdayMurderClub is released on Netflix! So excited!

I had the craziest dream last night. In my dream I woke up in the bungalow I grew up in. I went outside to go somewhere but there was a huge queue of people in the road. I tried to find out what was going on but couldn't. I went back inside and the bungalow was hoisted up onto something. Then it 1/4

A picture speaks a thousand words.

This lifts the spirits a bit. The majority of people are fundamentally kind.

Zia Yusuf on R4 says the Reform plan is to remove Human Rights laws. “So no judge, no activist will be able to stop…” He ends with ‘deportations’. But, to be clear, it will also mean many other words could be put there too.

In a sane, normal country, Lucy Connolly would be treated as a contemptible extremist. Not in Britain. But then this is no longer a sane, normal country. Britain has lost its moral bearings My @heraldscotland.bsky.social column www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...
