My school made it to the finals of the Early Help awards. We were up against some amazing charities so I’m ok with not winning outright.
It meant a lot. Sometimes recognition is really nice.

We keep getting tiny slugs in the bathroom.
The bathroom is 2 floors up.
This can only mean one thing: ROOF SLUGS.
We must have a colony of highly intelligent and invasive roof slugs bent on world domination and slime distribution.

Did not buy an amazing green fur cardigan in the shops today.

The best stage of drinking is the bit before you’re officially drunk where you just feel invincible.
I’ve done some really daft things at that stage.
But tonight I got a nice taxi home.

I am up to page 79 of the curriculum review.
It’s a lengthy and thoughtful document and I don’t have any hot takes on it.
