Oh yay another holiday starting off with waiting in the Other Countries passport queue because FUCKING BREXIT. There should be a special "look, I voted remain" queue.
joys of getting older: spending the afternoon on the phone to sort out your holiday insurance so you don't up as a Daily Mail Sad Face person whose claim got turned down
Things that will be outlawed when I rule the world #371: stand up padle boards
For thousands of years, a solar eclipse has been a prophetic harbinger of a spectacular, epoch-making event. Just saying. #VoteBinface #Clacton
20% voted for Dumbledore in this @teachertapp.bsky.social poll. Can't beleivrr1 in 5 teachers want this safeguarding nightmare working in their school!
Teaching things once is Not Enough. I know all the students I teach learn to read an analogue clock in primary but when they get to me they can't because they don't regularly use the skill after that. Same with swimming, one set of lessons in Year 4 is not gong to make a confident swimmer.
Today in 1) No Shit, Sherlock 2) Schools Must Fix Everything Children from disadvantaged, backgrounds less likely to leave school able to swim. Want Schools to get kids swimming? You have to take stuff out of the curriculum to make time for it throughout primary www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Schools with more disadvantaged children missing swimming target

Had to take @sirisaacnewtoncat.bsky.social to the vet this week as he was (very uncharacteristically) off his food. Vet couldn't find anything wrong and thinks he's stressed. Yes just look at the poor stressed animal who now gobbles down the special snowflake fancy cat food #caturday
Book lovers! I think some of you would love to support this in any way you can - Aine is trying to raise a relatively modest amount of money to get new books for a school library. She’s about half way to her target and it would be amazing to meet it with your help
Hi Alom, I finally got a fundraiser set up and approved by the school board (thanks for that wonderful idea btw) and here is the link below. gofund.me/55e46e8ca
Really enjoying reading @neilshubin.bsky.social "Your Inner Fish" - evolutionary biology is fascinating and even better if there's lots of geology included. I've just discovered that teeth came before bones!
What I read/listened to in July, via @thestorygraph.com Highlights: - "Project Hail Mary" audiobook, loved it, highly recommend - "Infinite Life" by @juleshoward.bsky.social - really interesting story of evolution of eggs - and now I know why mammals evolved to not lay them! #booksky 💙📚
Dissolvable nicotine. In a range of fruity flavours. Being promoted at Wetherby services! How can this even be legal?
Yeah OK so they beat the Vikings but they might still have to take on the French and we know how that goes #1066 #ABE
Things that will be illegal when I rule the world no. 3428: those pedalling beer music bus things that you get in tourist cities and have now started turning up in my city.
In a world that's never been more divided, it's been uplifting during the World Cup to see us all put our differences to one side and come together to celebrate something joyous. Ronaldo tears.
"No attemp to play the ball there, Pat" "Actutially I think there was an attempt to play the ball, it was just a rubbish one" Gotta love Pat Nevin on co-comms #GERPAR
lunch duty today at my (English) school, wearing my Scotland bucket. Random Student walks past singing "We know we ain't no Argetina!" so of course I'm "But we got John McGinn" and we do a No Scotland No Party duet and then he just walks off. I think it's A Sign 🏴 youtu.be/-qSVBY08VoA?...
