I’m seriously considering planning a ‘Basic Manners Workshop’ for my class next week.
On the agenda so far:
Pleases & thank yous
Listening when someone is speaking
Volume and tone of voice
Not interrupting
Personal space
Respecting boundaries

@theJeremyVine@Joey7Barton@GNev2 I have a TBI and I think this is a pretty silly insinuation. You could have chosen a stroke? Or a depression disorder? Or, my favoured scenario, just remarked on the situation without comparison.
At 1 am GMT this morning Halley’s Comet reached its perihelion—the farthest end of its orbit—and turned to come back towards Earth. It’ll be here in 2061, so if you were born in 1980 or later you’ll have an evens chance of seeing it. Me, not so much.
Air fryers are simply bloody awful. I’ve tried different ones with different things and every time it’s just rubbish.
Cook properly, pans, oven, grill. Salt pepper butter and thyme.
Was meaning to blog this but was getting distracted so a rare🧵:
I see 100s of lessons and teachers and it’s clear to me the best teaching appears fluid and artful but is always built on sound techniques deployed with purpose; intentionality; precision.. /n
I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but my book, The Complete Guide to Pastoral Leadership, is available for pre order now on Amazon and Waterstones 💗
Perfect for aspiring, new or existing pastoral leaders and heads of year, teaching and non teaching

If teaching was just teaching it would be straightforward.
But it’s not.
It’s
Teacher
Counsellor
First aider
Friend
Listener
Planner
Data analyst
Showman
Cleaner
Supervisor
Evaluator
Assessor
Team member
Actor
Team leader
Carer
Protector
And that’s why it’s exhausting.
🏕 In My Opinion: 'Wild camping should be allowed across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.'
👎 There’s currently a row over whether people should be allowed to camp at Dartmoor.
🏴 It is allowed in Scotland.

To me.. she was just Auntie A.. kind, thoughtful and loved by my Father. She was referred to as the “clever one of the family” and will be missed.
Dear @GaryLineker
You were one of the first people to donate towards my fundraising for neurorehab, so In light of the shit show that’s unfolding right now, I thought I’d pick this moment to share that because of you and so many other incredible people here, I took my first steps in 8 years this week.
Thank you… forever x

I relearnt tie my shoelace
I can’t truss a chicken without an extra hand
I have trouble reading my own handwriting (as it’s now shit and I can’t read)
And I suck at COD now
I haven’t quite the courage to go surfing again
starting to relearn this old friend is proving to be odd
