@Mathew_Lynch44 @DeputyGrocott It was obligatory that you joined in with the countdown clock.

@DeputyGrocott We were never in the house. Instead we played kerby, hide and seek, five stones; we climbed trees and built dens, collected caterpillars and played skipping with someone’s washing line.

@DHTDurrant @DeputyGrocott I loved mine! I spent so many hours skating that the plastic wheels disintegrated. I had roller boots after that and there was no stopping me.
There’s a roller club where I live and my best friend from primary and I are sorely tempted.

@LeeBraganza Apparently it because they are due to be fed. We have cows near us and they do that regularly.

@DeputyGrocott First full day in Switzerland and we’ve been up a mountain.

[Fiona Shaw 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏉 🥃 @Fin75]

Our first day of inter railing to Switzerland is almost done as we’re on our last train (4/4) which takes us to Strasbourg.
Our train from Glasgow to London was cancelled but it was all rearranged quickly.
Looking forward to tomorrow’s journey.

@TerribleMaps Clearly never been to Murrayfield or Scotland. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@TrumpTruthOnX I don’t even live in Aberdeen (but do live in Scotland) and I can guess their answer to this.

@damedevelo I’m with you. We’re in Peebles for our anniversary. It’s not cold but we’ve yet to see the sun and it’s been raining on and off since we got here. It’s the same back home in Ayrshire.

@ICT_MrP Couldn’t agree more. We’ve just finished for the summer and I can’t remember a busier summer term. We stopped on Tuesday and it was the only day I wasn’t teaching all day or involved in meetings/paperwork etc.

@DeputyGrocott @Keir_Starmer Scotland was given a ‘bank holiday’ but very few LAs granted it (ours included) as it would cost them a fortune.
It’s a nice idea though.

[Fiona Shaw 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏉 🥃 @Fin75]

@DeputyGrocott I feel seen. 🙈🤣🤣

[Fiona Shaw 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏉 🥃 @Fin75]

@blazercarl @ICT_MrP Definitely. I’ve spoken to one regularly while one other I’ve not seen since I taught her in 2001.

[Fiona Shaw 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏉 🥃 @Fin75]

@blazercarl @ICT_MrP Yep. My new class has 4 kids whose parents I taught.

@DeputyGrocott Our union (EIS) recommends evacuating classrooms if the temperature exceeds 26oC for over an hour. It is just a recommendation and I'm not sure where we're supposed to evacuate to. I think unions need to look into this, especially down south where heatwaves are more common.

@hjmcd20 @binzoboy @MDMorrison82 We can’t wait for tomorrow’s game and your updates. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[Fiona Shaw 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏉 🥃 @Fin75]

@DeputyGrocott It was. We remember every second of it.
Please look up @MDMorrison82 and his amazing friendship with some of the Tartan Army.

[Fiona Shaw 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏉 🥃 @Fin75]

@ionafyfe Me too. Loving the updates as well.

[Fiona Shaw 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏉 🥃 @Fin75]

@MDMorrison82 I’ve heard the lads are from Kilmarnock which is 10 miles from where I live.

[Fiona Shaw 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏉 🥃 @Fin75]

If you’ve not seen any of @MDMorrison82’s posts, go have a look. He and the Tartan Army are what the World Cup is all about. He’s definitely one of us now. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
