Another fantastic visit from @anthony_cropper ! Year 8 were inspired and enthusiastic in their writers' workshops and some highly original writing created. #queenelizhigh

@alanshearer Good on you. Solidarity.

@emilyraboteau The grief cycle is a useful framework to use in many kinds of writing workshop. Look at the films ‘Gravity’ and ‘Sound of Metal’ through that lens for example and they make total sense. Characters move from denial, anger etc through to acceptance. Sorry, not essays!

@brecht_dp Yes, but what’s the real reason for buying it?

[Anthony Cropper @anthony_cropper]

@Hanifkureishi Chinatown. Jack Gittes and the watch under the tyre. Great and unexpected solution.

Stunning place. Worth a trip.

If ever you to Langdale go; 
Into a chasm a mighty block 
Hath fallen, and made a bridge of rock: 
The gulf is deep below; 
And, in a basin black and small, 
Receives a lofty waterfall.

(Wordsworth)

@MartinDowds1 Not read this one but Jesus’ Son is one of the best. Great film, too.

@davidcinema There’s a wonderful homage to the ‘Indianapolis scene’ in ‘Chasing Amy’.

First road marathon completed (automatically a PB). Legs sore but feel relatively ok. The last 10k was slow - really slow.
Thanks to everyone who donated to Myeloma UK - much appreciated.

Just back from a 21k training run. I’ll be trying to raise funds for Myeloma UK by running Chester Marathon in 3 weeks (not how long it will take, I hope). Any donations welcome. Thanks.
