@Kevin_McCloud How conscious are you of Grand Designs Bingo when you are filming? And will there ever be more of the Abroad episodes? I enjoyed seeing how many languages you know!

Celebrating at Eden Project parkrun today as Harry completed his 50th volunteer credit at 5 years old. A very proud dad as RD and mum tail walking with him. One of the youngest to reach this milestone @parkrunUK ? #parkrun

@Xris32 It's been so good! An improvement on S1 and S2 with 5 great episodes and it sounds like the best is yet to come! Ep5 was very emotional and that character's role so important and a 30yr resolution😥

[Paul J @magicjohnno]

@Xris32 Excellent and very kind - thank you for sharing.

@runnersworlduk They are no doubt all great races.
Don't forget that the counties of the South West also have spectacular events too. Exmoor, Dartmoor, Dorset, Somerset, the Cornish coast path - and many more worth people's interest. Definitely check out the Arc!

‘90% rain’ yeah…”SWW sewage discharge this morning at StAgnes. Unbelievable. A dad just got out this arvo and said to his 3 year old ‘Best wash the sewage off…’ It is still stinking. No way am I surfing in that.

Reflections on 'educational amnesia' & doing better...a thread 🧵

After researching the history of education, ancient & modern, I have some reflections about the damaging educational amnesia that inhibits the progression of the profession, & in turn, the progress of pupils. ⬇️

‘Who should read aloud in class?’

[Quite Interesting @qikipedia]

According to a newspaper report from the 1950s, extras in London theatres would not only say ‘rhubarb, rhubarb’ to imitate dialogue, they would also say ‘sausage and mash’ (for softer sounds) and ‘Raspberries! Raspberries!’ through their teeth to make angry crowd noises.
