Operation move house & get a life: Packing day and the packers have arrived. A hurricane of activity. Imagine that moment that an ants nest is disturbed. Except I think we will be picking up the wrong stuff to carry to safety

This has just popped up on my computer screen…… It looks neither realistic or PC

Clearing out my barn, I could not understand why my son was smiling as he was helping me… Apparently he was listening to the bad piggies theme as he saw me screaming and running away from spiders, dirt, mice . spotify.link/lFP2ZBgbYXb

I'm running a webinar on adaptive teaching next Wednesday. Lots of practical advice about inclusive approaches to teaching. Pay what you can to attend. Very grateful for shares. Thank you! #EduSky www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-ultima...

This is why pushback matters. When forced to actually defend racism they get into a muddle. (See also Tory ILR plans).

Oh for God’s sake … who forgot to point out that today is 1st Oct.??? Already late to Sober October… guess there is little point now.

One of the last summer evenings sitting in the garden and nature was kind..first a deer and then an owl .

I don’t have a lot of time for petitions any more but this one has got to have legs. Because Musk is an ignorant, entitled, too-rich-to-care-about-the-harm-he-does arsehole. There are lines you don’t cross and he’s crossed them multiple times with NO GOV pushback So I’ve signed I hope you do too

Furthermore Charlie Kirk himself was one of the proponents of the pro gun movement. April 2023 Turning Point “I think it's worth it. I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the 2nd Amendment to protect our other God-given rights."

Lucy Connolly is meeting Trump officials using her free speech in to say the UK has no free speech❓🤔 Which is irony defined Self proclaimed political prisoner & UK’s Nelson Mandela wrote “set fire to all the f****** hotels full of the bastards” Mandela conversely said ‘Let there be peace for all’🤷🏼‍♂️

“Every blockbuster needs a showdown: California’s caped crusader vs America’s most corrupt stupor villain. Grab your popcorn — truth, justice, and overdue indictments are about to fly.” 🍿🦸‍♂️⚖️🦹‍♂️

#DownsizingHell My day is a living version of Sophie’s Choice. How can I choose between all of these dishes painted by my children, which are never looked at but can’t be culled? I am hesitating if I can say that my sister, Jane, @jane-cc.bsky.social has adopted the role of a Nazi guard.

Long work day ..but only a couple of drinks so told son I could drive from the station Love his cautious self. He has texted me this ..to prove I am safe to drive! “A right angle triangle has adjacent sides of length 5 and 12, what's the length of the hypotenuse?”

Every day this Summer has been a record of how Nigel Farage already runs the country. An endless cycle of hate & racism. One day boat arrivals, the next releasing ethnicity data for crimes, so we can know whether to riot if they’re brown or shrug if they’re white. Back to the 70s🤦‍♀️ #r4today

Early English summer morning

This👇🏼is earth shattering news.. said no one ever.. a Tory nobody, no one ever heard of joining tiny 4 MP marginal Reform Party It’s a huge nonstory but Sky join the BBC in bigging up anyone joining Reform🙄🤷🏼‍♂️ Real news is 200 g of Lurpack slightly salted butter is £1.87 down from £2.47 today 👍🏼

How does me despising the Israeli Government and the IDF make me anti Semitic? That’s like saying that, just because I hate Barney the dinosaur, I hate all toys I just despise all people who order killing of people in aid queues.

I’ve accidentally had 4 non-alcohol evenings Today assumed I’d dropped 2 sizes (my washing machine broke 2 years ago & shrunk my clothes at my waist) But old clothes still too small so looked up: 1 kg of fat 7700 cal Half a bottle of wine 300 cal Therefore NO drinking for 25 days to lose 1kg

Unearthed footage that Fox News refused to air during the election last year shows Trump nervously refusing to commit to releasing the Epstein files. “I don’t know about Epstein so much as I do the others.”

The difference between the mess the Tories left us in & where we are at now under Labour! Starmer spells it out here 👏 👏 #Labour #KierStarmer

An English country garden

Quick poll … have to go into a meeting tomorrow for an ugly board meeting … one week after breaking foot. 45 mins train and will get a taxi. Photo 1 is the most professional and photo 2 is the most comfortable

Watching nearly every political party in the UK chase the same 20% of the worst people in the country, ignoring the other 80%, just to please the papers. Nothing will change in the UK until the papers are taken in hand. Not all the media, just the papers. The rest will flow from there.

Morning Thingummies

Spot the person who got bored at work and decided they NEEDED to buy a trampoline because they would DEFINITELY get up every hour to jump for 2 mins…. It’s been days and I’ve done it once .. think I’ll move it into my bedroom so that I can hang clothes on it

Musk accidentally saves 1,000s of lives by making drugs uncool

People you have been conned

Dying of embarrassment about my typo in my team chat!!

😔

A beautiful English summer dawn … calm after a busy time

Trump has now elected liberals in Canada, Australia, and the Vatican

The fact that there's zero daylight between "pope they picked" and "only pope they would've picked if JD Vance really did kill the previous pope" is kind of interesting.

What a weekend Spring cleaned 23 D’s bedroom. (She’s allergic to dust so can’t) Decided I’d ignore anything I found as she’s an adult Then I found a box …after many deliberations I told her I’d found sachets of white powder and a straw She burst out laughing & proved it was a bubble tea kit!

A MESSAGE TO LABOUR! #Labour rejoincampaign.uk

Someone ask him - what if Russia wants Alaska back?

Now THIS is the way I use weights at my desk …. As foot stools as I’m too short to reach the ground. That is proper hard work -and the wine glass makes me lucky

2025: "Brexit costs and red tape denying NHS cancer patients life-saving drugs" 2018: Brexiter Gisela Stuart, "It is important to knock on the head this notion that we didn't know what we were doing.. I know exactly what I was doing" She's now sat -unelected - in the House of Lords

What happens if Truss meets Vance?

Easter egg hunt 2025: Eggs hidden in the woods and Hunger Games (with lazer guns) Then water polo match to win the big egg

I just said “ I can’t decide whether to go commando or bear” My kids are laughing and have totally misunderstood I mean Easter egg hunt costume

I am getting ready for the Easter Egg hunt!…camouflage on ..nearly there

You might know that Easter egg hunts are big events for my long suffering family This year I’ve arranged (have to tell as I’m bursting with excitement) Hunger Games: (in the woods with laser guns) Then I’ve invited @jane-cc.bsky.social family for a ‘water polo’ match (8 spacehoppers & waterguns)

Favourite car selfie…go!

Typical Monday: Horrible work from 5am - daughter called to collect from local pub at 9pm. Driving her friends etc, it’s 2 hours later & we found a new karaoke song to kill All work & politics gone Daughter looking for a job in events/sale-& I’ve steered might start offering a de-stress service

I reckon they're doing it to honour POTATUS.

A peaceful English garden …. Nearly. Going indoors as I’m too bruised to stay out

Yesterday, when CEO asked the MD and me for a better title for our new monthly ‘get together’ than FOM (Finance Oversight Meeting) I am soooooo proud of myself that I didn’t suggest the Financial Oversight Committee… was suppressing a laugh. #TryingToBeProfessionalInNewJob

Trump Monday, cause he’s cancelled the word “black” too DEI. Yeah, #TrumpMonday
