Fan of an eclectic mix of music, art, good puns and smut. UK-based secondary teacher by day; eating pies by night; the bit in between is mostly filled with jazz band and orchestra rehearsals.

Last Notes npub1vq50470d6qru338803jksygkzxpgtp0vcqagk2yletalkc9zks3qdhm04u Mint Spies That is one epic tale - death and estate-wrangling is such a traumatic experience, especially as there's a whole heap of grief in there too. I hope it resolves smoothly and in a drama-free way. npub1vq50470d6qru338803jksygkzxpgtp0vcqagk2yletalkc9zks3qdhm04u Mint Spies In these times of experimental cuisine, it's important to let everyone know what they're eating. npub1vq50470d6qru338803jksygkzxpgtp0vcqagk2yletalkc9zks3qdhm04u Mint Spies I crouched down to stroke the little cat, and before I knew it, I was in-cat-pacitated. The burn in my thighs suggests that I need more training! npub1vq50470d6qru338803jksygkzxpgtp0vcqagk2yletalkc9zks3qdhm04u Mint Spies It's been a tricky few days at work, wrestling coursework out of recalcitrant teenagers, but the end is in sight and even the weather agrees. #joy #rainbow npub1vq50470d6qru338803jksygkzxpgtp0vcqagk2yletalkc9zks3qdhm04u Mint Spies I suspect this sign has a back-story...! npub1vq50470d6qru338803jksygkzxpgtp0vcqagk2yletalkc9zks3qdhm04u Mint Spies Given the very high-stakes impact of failing the accountancy exams, including losing one's job, it's disappointing but not really surprising that some candidates have turned to cheating: 'people respond to incentives' and all that. I suspect that coursework for A-levels etc will disappear in similar way; it'll be interesting to see how universities react. npub1vq50470d6qru338803jksygkzxpgtp0vcqagk2yletalkc9zks3qdhm04u Mint Spies brilliant - thanks! npub1vq50470d6qru338803jksygkzxpgtp0vcqagk2yletalkc9zks3qdhm04u Mint Spies you've brought a fine selection of music recommendations with you, too - you ought to re-share all of the different hashtags you've used, for those who missed them first time! (i.e. for me!) npub1vq50470d6qru338803jksygkzxpgtp0vcqagk2yletalkc9zks3qdhm04u Mint Spies Lost my Mahler virginity at orchestra rehearsal last night, and now I feel like my life is full of German instructions I can't read. Harrumph. npub1vq50470d6qru338803jksygkzxpgtp0vcqagk2yletalkc9zks3qdhm04u Mint Spies Just taken delivery of my teacher's planner for the coming year*. I'm going to have a quiet giggle every time I see it. npub1vq50470d6qru338803jksygkzxpgtp0vcqagk2yletalkc9zks3qdhm04u Mint Spies I think your picture is a match for the sign I saw at our local museum (my kids insisted I took a picture to send to their dad). Maturity all round! npub1vq50470d6qru338803jksygkzxpgtp0vcqagk2yletalkc9zks3qdhm04u Mint Spies And this post is why one should always read the #AltText, even if you don't think you need it - EVERYONE needs this in their life: https://aus.social/@morachbeag/114826464660210261 npub1vq50470d6qru338803jksygkzxpgtp0vcqagk2yletalkc9zks3qdhm04u Mint Spies there's no "BOTH, PLEASE" option, so I don't know which to choose! npub1vq50470d6qru338803jksygkzxpgtp0vcqagk2yletalkc9zks3qdhm04u Mint Spies That's exactly the approach suggested by my husband when we talked about the article linked above - glad he's not alone. npub1vq50470d6qru338803jksygkzxpgtp0vcqagk2yletalkc9zks3qdhm04u Mint Spies Brilliant - thank you! It's been a couple of years since I taught this side of the A-level course, and a lot of my resources need updating, so it's always good to have access to new journalism. npub1vq50470d6qru338803jksygkzxpgtp0vcqagk2yletalkc9zks3qdhm04u Mint Spies I'm just about to teach methods of government intervention to my Y12 microeconomics class, so this is perfectly timed: thanks for sharing! npub1vq50470d6qru338803jksygkzxpgtp0vcqagk2yletalkc9zks3qdhm04u Mint Spies I would utterly love it if the insurance company then uses this as an opportunity to list all the ways the celeb still has a platform, then deny their claim of being cancelled! npub1vq50470d6qru338803jksygkzxpgtp0vcqagk2yletalkc9zks3qdhm04u Mint Spies I've struggled with the tech, but I'm hoping this might work... npub1vq50470d6qru338803jksygkzxpgtp0vcqagk2yletalkc9zks3qdhm04u Mint Spies Excellent news, prof! npub1vq50470d6qru338803jksygkzxpgtp0vcqagk2yletalkc9zks3qdhm04u Mint Spies Oh, they can try, but I do a good line in ignoring official instructions...! npub1vq50470d6qru338803jksygkzxpgtp0vcqagk2yletalkc9zks3qdhm04u Mint Spies Nice! I really need to find some decent sources of data on the environmental impacts, rather than just snippets of headlines - I know I've got some pupils who will benefit from seeing cold, hard figures rather than taking my word for it. That can be tomorrow's treasure hunt! npub1vq50470d6qru338803jksygkzxpgtp0vcqagk2yletalkc9zks3qdhm04u Mint Spies I'm just finishing teaching my beginner Economics class about externalities - we'll be talking about a lot about the externalities of AI in the next week, so this is good timing (albeit without the environmental impacts!) npub1vq50470d6qru338803jksygkzxpgtp0vcqagk2yletalkc9zks3qdhm04u Mint Spies I'm correcting an oversight from my youth by reading the Gerald Durrell Corfu books for the first time. The gentle humour is hitting the spot this morning - I strongly recommend them if you haven't read them.
