Satin, silk, shellac, lustre, eggshell - with all these different terms for shiny paint finishes, I need a glossary. #weakendpun

The real test of post-16 reform is not just whether it helps young people make a first transition. It is whether it helps create a lifelong learning mindset — one in which entering work is the beginning of a learning journey, not the end of one.

I built a kind of canopy structure in the garden. And even though it only has posts and doesn’t actually have a roof, it still makes you feel kind of sheltered. I call it the gazebo effect. #weakendpun
