@gregjames I've stopped running as I'm distracted by Hugh. I understand wearing yesterday's pants if you're running first thing but has just said he's going to wear his pants all day then change into yesterday's later to go for a run. Surely today's are dirty by then?!
I might not have a class anymore but when an Emma Carroll @emmac2603 book comes out you've got to go to your local indie and order a copy. When I next see you Emma, you'll have to sign it for me. Can't waIt to dive in.
It's important to spend time creating a decent reading environment in a classroom but it's infinitely more important to spend time reading the books that feature in it. Being able to talk about them with passion is what will get the kids reading them, not the fairy lights.
@ReviewsBluebird @KateHeap1@_Reading_Rocks_@sara13librarian@booksfortopics@MrEPrimary@BookSuperhero2 @sophiemckenzie_ While I'm deeply flattered by the suggestion I could write a book, I have to come clean that I'm not Simon Mason. The e is for Simone. I've enjoyed my 15 minutes of fame though so thank-you for the mistaken identity.

@emmac2603 @BookIslandBooks@_Reading_Rocks_ There I was deeply engrossed in your talk and the next thing you know I was about to become a gif! ๐คฃ๐คฃ Luckily, everyone else was more interested in what you had to say than the buffoon wobbling along an imaginary line. Xxx
@BookIslandBooks@_Reading_Rocks_ Yes it was a fantastic day. I loved meeting you that day - it seems like a world away now!
@emmac2603 made me walk a 'tight-rope' on stage ๐คฃ๐คฃ
@KLovesbooks1@BookSuperhero2@greenacres_pri That's so kind of you, Karen - thank-you. If we foster a love of reading, then our children are made for life!! It's one of my fundamental truths!! ๐
