N5 and Higher English Supported Study starts tomorrow. It will be on from 8-8.50am. Session one will be with Miss Dover and will focus on RUAE skills. She’s just messaged me saying she’s in Asda buying breakfast pastries so you don’t want to miss it! 😂🥐🥮 #pastriesandpractise

Lovely to catch up with the staff from @DumbartonEng for lunch today. I'm so touched by my thoughtful leaving gifts - "Little Women" was a childhood favourite of mine. Such a great department to be part of as a probationer this year.

The plane took off an hour ago.We are flying over the Himalayas.
Oh no the left engine is on fire I thought out loud which drew glares from the other passengers.. this was not what they wanted to hear but nonetheless true!

Happy WBD worms! 📖🪱 I read because: I don’t have enough money to travel the world, I don’t have a time machine to let me hop back to the past or to give me a glimpse into the future, I don’t know what it’s like to live a life that’s different from my own... But I do if I read!
