Anyone got any good tips for visiting Madeira? I’m now going there in a week.

We live in the ridiculous world where you need to download an app to make another app function properly and both of these apps are paid for by the tax payer. So much money is being wasted.

Final pub quiz of the year last night. We came second but we were crowned champions of 2025. Finally there was a question where I could actually use some maths to solve it. “What is the length and width of A10 paper in mm?” No one else got it right (or could be bothered to divide 297 and 210 by 8)

Board gamers @sheena2907.bsky.social @grotters.bsky.social et al, I’ve been told I need to look in to playing Blood On The Clocktower. Can anyone share insights?

Why have I only just discovered flame raisins?

Any UCAS experts on here? My daughter is struggling to enter her current course in the Education section. It’s a UAL Level 3 Diploma. It’s not on the list but we know it should be.

I'm running a webinar about adaptive teaching on 5th November. Lots of practical advice about inclusive practice. Pay what you can to attend. Please share. Thank you! #EduSky www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-ultima...

Lovely thread on measuring arcs and angles.

Just back home from GNR. Sore hamstring. Sore from repeatedly pressing my clutch in slow moving traffic collecting my daughter who was on work experience with a film crew at the finish line. A normal 20min round trip took 1h 45 mins!

Did you know I've been working on A-level content? I've managed to cover all of year 1 statistics now including in depth videos (a little over 6 hours worth), exam questions and solutions on each topic (117 full exam questions in total). All free, of course. www.1stclassmaths.com/alevelrevision

“what are you gonna miss most from your holiday in Spain?” Erm, I may have a problem.

"Sunderland's Roker Beach named as one of the North's best beaches and one of the top 50 in the UK". We are so lucky to live near some of the best coastline & beaches in the UK ❤️ www.sunderlandecho.com/news/people/...

Love a bit of mathematical architecture.

It’s hot in Europe.

Never seen them get this close before. Magical.

I actually just received a PHONE CALL from Google Business and spoke to an actual HUMAN!!!!

On a live chat with a Google business support specialist for nearly 2 hours trying to resolve an issue. Seriously - can they make things anymore complicated? It’s a bleeding nightmare!!!

My wife is running a free workshop on Monday to support parents of quiet introverted teens navigate GCSEs. My daughter and I will also feature with our own insights. This video explains why she is so passionate about the subject. m.youtube.com/watch?v=zBAb... link to the workshop below.

Testing out the new fire pit before it rains.

A lot of you know that I’m a fan of experimental combinations of food. My latest triumph is baked potato, green pesto, avocado and baked beans.

Garden office complete! My wife is very happy. Just need to let the plaster dry so we can paint it - but that hasn’t stopped her moving in to work in there this morning.

My wife’s garden office build started today. Should be done by the end of the week. Impressed by how much they got done in 6 hours.

Anyone know someone that does best guess topics for IGCSE edexcel triple science? It’s the paper 2’s I’m interested in once paper 1’s are done.

Barbecued two blocks of halloumi. 8 slices in total for 4 people. I’ve ended up eating 5 slices. Most of them after my barbecued banana with chocolate!

Lynne is my mother-in-law. It’s how she rolls. I duo every day and didn’t even get a chance to help with this one.

Ok, so tomorrow I’m activating deadline mode.

Bitpaper are going to be charging for what I currently use it for. Looking for a free alternative that is still easy to use for tutoring (just need the whiteboard, not calling) want it easy to use, easy to paste images from snipping tool etc. Any recommendations?

I need to activate deadline mode!
