Pull my finger…
I unwittingly picked up and bought a packet of ‘extremely cheesy’ hot cross buns the other day and only noticed when I opened the packet, at which point I threw my head back and screamed like a toddler… which was a surprise to my work colleagues
Easter egg chocolate is the best and that’s a fact!

I was trying to find one of a person frantically walking in circles surrounded by people attempting to grab your attention whilst you juggle knives, as I thought it’d be more accurate! 🤓
Being a deputy is probably the biggest reason for your non-posting… you simply don’t have the time!!!
Every time a Chelsea manager moans about being tired before a home game, Harold Godwinson just shakes his head and says "if I could travel across country and kill the King of Norway and my own brother to win at Stamford Bridge, you can play two games in 4 days".
#Edusky #FFBWeds May I ask the Eduworld, how many of you receive supervisions? May I also ask in what sector you work? I’m guessing that, for state sector school staff, it’ll be hardly any of you, but I thought I’d better ask! Has this been asked by @teachertapp.bsky.social I wonder…
#Edusky “100pc…🙄” UK educators, you see what happens when a kid doesn’t get offered a knowledge-rich curriculum!!? I’m 150pc sure that he’d be fine with exploratory learning and skills-based provision
“100%”
(1/2) 37 years ago today I submitted my proposal for the World Wide Web 🎂. Today, Rosemary & I spoke with students in New Orleans at Walter Isaacson's Digital History Class @tulaneu.bsky.social. I was asked, as I often am, if I ever could have foreseen where we’d be today. I could not.
Good lord.
“Now class, the drawing pin on my chair was not funny. I want the person who placed it there to own up; if they do I’ll go easy on you; if you don’t, the whole class is staying in for detention! And I mean it… I’m not messing about here! Someone had better own up soon…!!!”
In a world where information is difficult to trust, I trust @carolecadwalla.bsky.social to inform me and her newsletter is both terrifying and illuminating

Magnificent album! Brings back memories of my son who, aged seven back then, would stomp about in his mum’s high-heeled boots singing ‘Hello space boy’ just cos David did. God I miss him (David, not the son, as I see him all the time!)
…and when he came out again, he was a changed man…
I find that astonishing. Not only is it terribly inaccurate, it is awful for workload. To like it is bonkers

"I mean,what are they eating to make them that dirty!?"
'Mum' on BBC iPlayer is absolutely tremendous telly. Funny, sad and tender, it's an hilariously brilliant observation of the frailties and emotional fragility of families. How had it passed me by, and why don't more people know about it!? Grateful thanks to @michaelt1979.bsky.social for recommending
Picked up on a recommendation of yours recently, Mum. Incredible telly. Not finished it yet so no spoilers
