I've got soul but I'm not a soldier. I drink tea but I'm not* a teacher. * I am really.

Quote tweeting this so I know where it is and I can watch it whenever I need to.

Back on here to ask this question: We’ve had links to a school in Murcia for years, but they’ve broken down. Does anyone know how we could go about finding a school in Spain to communicate with - pen pals, learning about each other’s geography etc?

Obviously this app is completely dead but I figured it’s as good a place as any to ask a question like this:

What laptop carriage solutions do people recommend? Mine is officially beyond rescue and I strongly suspect the reason is the lightweight bag I carry/throw it around in.

When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.

They ought to pay us for ending slavery, it is not something any other country had done and we were motivated by Christian charity.

ToH 2 gets off to a blistering start with Lisa’s Dream (ie the Monkey Paw episode). The Twilight Zone was a constant source in the early ToH episodes and this one is magnificent. The self-deprecating references to shitty Simpsons merch are a particular delight.

Rewatching all the Simpsons Treehouses of Horror before Halloween or till I get bored.

[Ben @Mr_B_W]

Overall, Treehouse of Horror (1) gets four stars from me. A better-than-remembered start to proceedings.

Also just worth pointing out that this is my 14th year in the profession, my 8th at my current school and my 2nd in this year group, and I did several hours during the summer holidays that have allowed me to be unprecedentedly efficient so far and that aren't included here.

Right, day 1 (INSET):
7 hours 20 in school, minus a 20 minute break. Total: 7:00.
Highlight: learning that E had settled quickly on his first full day at his new nursery. #Project1265

[Ben @Mr_B_W]

Yearly total: 79:10 (14 hours over the #project1265 target after two weeks 😂🤔)

I was under the impression that shops can’t sell products past their best before date. But today, I picked up a share bag of sweet popcorn for 30p because it was 19 (nineteen) days past its best.

Will report back with my findings.

They are ridiculous. I love them. @kinggizzard

Massively regret that hashtag. Looks stupid.
