🚨 NEW: Over 28,000 disadvantaged pupils who might have been expected to achieve top grades at GCSE did not do so between 2017 and 2021.

Utterly shamed by my best friend putting more effort into her 31st birthday invite than I have into my wedding invite.

☀️ Putting the sun in Sunday.

In 2003, Olafur Eliasson’s #TheWeatherProject transformed Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall into a radiating mass of hazy orange light. The symbol of our sun was made up of hundreds of monochromatic lamps.

Did you see Eliasson's The Weather Project?
