The first dance .. Jesus Christ !
I’d love to say I wasn’t nervous and styled it out, but I was shitting it and my mouth was like super glue.
What a moment ! I’ve played 3 shows in 18 months. I personally needed this. We all did.
Thank you to @yousefcircus and all involved🙌
It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle.
What happened to Sarah Everard has hit home hard for so many women because we make the calculations she did every day too. We take the longer, better-lit route, push the fear aside for the voice that says ‘don't be daft, you've every right to walk home alone at night and be safe’
Not hugely reassuring for PM to tell parents and teachers that schools are safe to reopen tomorrow, but in the next breath say more restrictions are probably necessary and that could include closing all schools. #Marr
NEW: Joint General Secretary of @NEUnion Mary Bousted tells me Gavin Williamson has now “lost the confidence of teachers and parents” and remaining in his post now looks “very difficult”.
Deal with home issues, support parents as they cry down the phone that their child’s behaviour is so poor and they can’t get them to do any work. It’s mentally and physically draining working from home!
Not only do we have to spend HOURS creating a pack, we have to prepare resources to support, film teaching videos, carry out welfare calls, do online training, have meetings, we have to respond to learning as soon as we get it back, encouraging children and parents to keep going.
Today is one of those days to keep your head up, hold your family and loved ones close (even if that means virtually), and count the blessings we do have. Things can only get better. Just not yet. And if you’re feeling low, please call that friend who makes you happy.
