Pretty incredible to see the aurora last night

@ruskin147 #RuskinPark not available, as far as I could see, in WHSmith OX12 (Oxfordshire). Awaiting October half term to read it so I’ve got a few weeks left to find a copy!

@CrossCountryUK standing on a train crammed in with others all the way from Birmingham to Durham, outside a smelly toilet. Why the lack of coaches and seats?

@DianeCoyle1859 Similar in Oxfordshire. Our GP surgery’s Facebook page states that they have sickness across the entire staff and will be running a reduced service for the foreseeable future. They suggest going to see a pharmacist for simple illnesses.

@mr_baish @ActionOnPP Huge Congratulations! Inspirational!

@davidbartonmus We have a Delonghi Dedica. No pods needed - just ground coffee (we grind our own). Seems less wasteful than using pods and works well - son has an old one at uni which has been going strong for years.

@ruskin147 She’s absolutely beautiful - got lovely markings.

@HewittJSB Beautiful. Thank you. Fond memories of my late mother playing this.

Christmas Concert day for us! 🎹🎵🎄

[Hagbourne and Wallingford Young Pianists @HWYPianists]

It’s Tree Festival and Christmas concert time! Loving our “Percussion Tree”, the young pianists have done me proud! Looking forward to the concert. 🎵

Great @Tesco substitution today! They’ve run out of the Christmas Crackers I wanted so are sending me Jabobs Cream Crackers instead!!!!

@megabusuk Sadly your bus from Bristol to Oxford this morning wasn’t displaying “Oxford” on the front until AFTER it left the stop. Meaning my son didn’t get on it and had an expensive train journey home instead. A very bad first Megabus experience.

Didcot Space Store, this Sunday……

Not my normal source of information, but very interesting to read the letter in full: https://t.co/Fb85ltmIk3

Many well-known names amongst the list of signatories and good to see examiners taking a stand. This is no longer just about what they perceive to be ‘moaning teachers’.

@ABRSM this morning’s booking experience was the worst yet. 2 hrs 20 mins to book 8 exams. A 2 hour queue. Venue filters not working. Errors in the payment summary. “A slick and modern customer experience”??

@davidbartonmus @ABRSM The system was rolled out pre-COVID. Since then scientists of the world have developed and rolled out, globally, various covid vaccines! Yet this system still doesn’t work properly!

@MichaelDOShea I’m tempted to have a go at growing some! My son is a bit of a chilli fan. He was very disappointed when Tesco stopped selling Komodo dragon chillies. If I can get a plant started it’ll be a housewarming gift for his new student house in summer.

[KateG @k_gooday]

@MichaelDOShea Try making a mini greenhouse with a clear plastic bag over them. Also I’m thinking they look a bit over watered. Not that I’ve ever grown them!
