@adhockley Yes, as Sue and Craig say, Andy, download WhatApp onto your lap top : easy peasy. I also find it useful to WhatsApp myself.

One of the themes for me of the IATEFL conference was staff (managers, teachers, admin) wellbeing and it was great to be a speaker at the joint PCE between IPSEN and LAM SIG on this topic. Remember, if you replace the I of Illness with the letters WE, you get Wellness.

Some of the great people who I enjoyed meeting and learning from at the IATEFL conference, plus the most ethically sourced chocolate bar in the world.

Great time in Thai restaurant in Harrogate at IATEFL conference. If I get to 500 followers by the end of the conference I will pay for one persona’s IATEFL membership for a year. Thanks!

@melody_philip @SLBCoop Lots to be impressed about in the Elt world at the moment, Melody, including many organisations sharing their webinars and resources freely with all Elt practitioners instead of keeping them to themselves. See free two- day meet up at : https://t.co/cDbWw6hser over next two days

@BenIrvineAuthor Well what a bizarre lot of prejudices in one sentence. Evidence base? How does Ben know? Is he part of the surveillance state and has access to cctv cameras in their living rooms as they watch the BBC?
