1/ Russian soldiers say they are facing a "catastrophic shortage" of fuel at the front lines due to Ukrainian drone strikes on refineries. Far less is available now, it's more expensive, and it's only being issued for vehicles owned by the army – excluding vast numbers in use. ⬇️
Closing a career chapter today, reopening and continuing one in September.
Ten Tors weekend, have been training our three teams since September. Such an iconic event. 400 teams of six, tackling 35, 45 or 55 miles over Dartmoor this weekend. Some pics from the start line at 0700 this morning.
Watching the livestream of my son competing in the National Universities Championships. Can’t miss him! 😂😍
My name has only cropped up as an issue a couple of times in my teaching career, including with my first PGCE placement mentor. However, it has not been the problem that some, including myself, thought it might be. Looking forward to listening Radio 4 Sunday. theconversation.com/my-surname-m...
My surname makes people laugh – so I turned it into a research communication tool
Having my surname is a daily trial, eliciting a range of responses from suppressed to open laughter and unsolicited comments.

Vanessa Paradis Klaxon. #TOTP Calm down, it’s not that one.
Got round to re-registering the app, now that platelet donors can make appointments online again. Missed being able to do that, hopefully easier to keep closer to every four weeks now. #GiveBlood ❤️
Handy to have today’s news talking about PFAS. Lesson one for Yr 12 this morning includes the relative strengths of the carbon-halogen bonds in haloalkanes.
RiP Scappy, our (son’s) Bearded Dragon. She’s had a good innings, 14 years. Bearing in mind our son moved out 7 years ago.
Cheers bin men, for ensuring that, on Christmas Eve, ours was one of the two recycling wheely bins that despite you putting them together with everyone else’s, you then didn’t empty 😩 #FirstWorldProblems
An extreme version of a flu recovery run yesterday. A tough 15 miles of Cornish coast path. A stunning route though. ☀️🌊 #EduRunners
It’s done 25 years and will do another quarter century. Mainly because we only ever use about 60% of it 🤣🤣
Units 234-236 going in the bag, booked in again before New Year for another three #GiveBlood it’s not just for Christmas 🩸🅰️➕
Eddie Grant, possibly my first bought single. Musical Youth, definitely my first bought album #totp
Attended the Ten Tors team managers briefing today. Like INSET, but in an open barn on Dartmoor.
Another Dartmoor Sunday. In to lead Ten Tors training.
Absolutely not. Despite it being the opening question from my first PGCE mentor. 13 years ago. #TeacherTapp
Tell me you’re a chemistry teacher/Head of Outdoor Ed without etc etc…….
Early morning half-marathon on the SW coast path, tough course 🥵Great weather, the forecasted wetness didn’t show up. #EduRunners
Been listening to The Running Man audiobook ready for the new movie, which follows it more closely. Just put the TV on. 99 to Beat on ITV is the thin end of the wedge.
Trump is closing all four climate observatory stations in Alaska, Hawaii, American Samoa, and Antartica. Because you can't have high CO2 levels if you don't *measure* CO2 levels. roll_safe.gif

Having just listened whilst on my run. Firstly, sorry again Bill 😉 @drwilkinsonsci.bsky.social , and secondly, thanks for your very actionable (and sweary 🤣) words on supporting SEN students. Big 🤜🤛 for getting a running analogy in too! 🙂
Adam Boxer@adamboxereducation.bsky.social · last yr.What's the job of a SENCO? According to Bill Wilkinson, the prime director is to just listen. Take the time, and listen. Full episode is a belter: open.spotify.com/episode/5r2j...
Second year of running the Sunset Half on Saturday evening. No sunset, damp and windy. Almost 400m of climb on the SW coast path. Seemingly endless drag along Perran Sands to the finish. 1st V50 male 🙂 #EduRunners
