Today is the day. I kind of don't want it to be over...

@susie_dent To Renton: if someone falls asleep holding the remote, it is the art of removing it without waking them up.

Thought I should see this while Jamie Parker is still in it!

@PeterW4tw @thesundaysport Can probably pick them up in The Range, they have a lot of the Wilko pet range.

@CankleFish @TheCinesthetic I've always thought he handled the verse perfectly and made it sound so natural.

@BooksandChokers has knocked it out of the park with Role Model. It shows how overwhelming busy the autistic brain is and also our vulnerability to being exploited. And these two paragraphs perfectly sum up why I no longer feel able to teach in a school that's part of a MAT.

English teachers, there's an article on Duffy's inspiration for 'War Photographer' in today's Guardian.

‘It’s been a cesspit, really, my life’: war photographer Don McCullin on 19 of his greatest pictures https://t.co/9JCxk4tmJe

I think Wish You Were Her is my favourite @BooksandChokers book so far. An autistic love story that had me hooked ❤️

@criminographer @Waterstones Legami pens, once you start you can't stop collecting them!

@HarryMcCarthy And they seem to have very lax rules about phone use in school.

Been to London today for a second and last watch of @NextToNormalUK before it closes next week. Brilliant work from all concerned and always a pleasure to see @DickLeFenwick perform. Probably the best production I have ever seen.

@kariebookish @OpenUniversity That was very tense at the end! Good work!

@debra64 @Culture_Crit Our guide told us most of this stuff... And more! The individual depictions of the reactions of each disciple and how it illuminates their characters is what makes this a masterpiece!

Went to the matinee performance of Next to Normal today. It was astounding, brilliant performances and vocals all round. Also great to see @DickLeFenwick on stage for the first time in quite a while.

@mrs_denglish BSA is always casual. I was going to be involved with the Teacher Day but my daughter got me theatre tickets for that day.

I have just stormed my way through 'Keedie' by @BooksandChokers and its my favourite so far of her books. The autistic representation is so good. I think I'm more of a Keedie than an Addie and it warmed my late diagnosed heart. Thank you, Elle.
