My mom is up for a visit. Taking her out for a meal and she’s dressed up in a lovely orange dress. “You look nice mom… just like a solero!” Apparently this is not a compliment.

Four weeks of headship and I could already write a book on the things I’ve dealt with 😂😂 Really enjoying it though… kinda looking forward to the summer holidays when they come at the same time. It’s a crazy job but good for the soul on the most part.

On my first day as head I went and introduced myself to every class. I said things like ‘if you see me lost in the corridor please help me find my way’ etc… since that time I get asked if I’m lost about 50 times a day. Even when I’m sat in my office! 😂Kids are brilliant!

Green deliveries! Thanks @simonandschuster.bsky.social for the paperback of Felix and the future Agency by #rachelMorrisroe And a preorder: Wildheart by #BecManser

From 1996 to 2026 Have big bookshelves to fill so have started to update my #agathachristie collection with these gorgeous hardbacks at @harpercollins.bsky.social . Question is: would you keep the old book too! Just cos?

Moved house recently and we inherited these enormous bookshelves! Today I have been unpacking the books and I’ve realised I need to buy some more to fill it!
