If you had to give 6 different presentations every day, 39 weeks a year, you’d probably need 13 weeks to plan them all, right?

This was so moving. Spontaneously stopped off at the London Bridge station organ to play a couple of pieces for the Queen. This lovely security guard, Marcella, asked if I could play Lascia ch'io pianga. Turns out she trained as a singer! ❤️😭

My daughter named her new pet, Sir David Stickenborough, after her hero. She wrote to tell him this. Obviously he responded. Sir David is getting renamed, apparently, but my daughter’s fascination with nature has been reinforced. #NationalTreasure

Still obsessed with my bookshelf from @1925workbench. Can you spot any of your favourites on my shelf?

Holding a space for those estranged/distant from family, mourning the loss of loved ones, or struggling privately. You are not alone. This holiday season give yourself the gift of gentle loving. Even where it’s hard to find joy there is always a journey back to ourselves.

We watch in complete shock as Taliban takes control of Afghanistan. I am deeply worried about women, minorities and human rights advocates. Global, regional and local powers must call for an immediate ceasefire, provide urgent humanitarian aid and protect refugees and civilians.

Teachers deserve all the 👏👏👏 If I could wave a magic wand, teachers would be celebrated far more than entertainers, and we’d all be chatting on social media about outstanding and compelling and innovative teachers. Hats off to you, Polly. 🙏

@theloudlady I teach ‘Scarborough’ to my Grade 12 class! Your writing is incredible. Thank you 🙏

[The English Tutor @TheEngTutor1]

‘Crosshairs’ is simple astonishing. It is a timely dystopian account of a near-future in Toronto where those who are deemed as “Other” are placed into concentration camps. It is both disturbing and teeming with resilience and hope! Thank you @theloudlady
