Never about the kids is it, Telegraph. Just the numbers.

As someone with knowledge and experience of setting #gcse grade boundaries is it safe to turn on the radio again?

Open Day at Cambridge yesterday: the half marathon of open days.

This will annoy the people on X who were so passionate about the right to kill people with their cars.

The best bit of this game so far was the twenty minutes I spent trying to register for Discovery+ #europaleaguefinal

I'd hope they won't find as many chain-free buyers too stupid to use Rightmove round here.

So, #Biffa employees trying their best to drive the Cetti's Warblers away from their nest in the River Park. If you try hard you can put a strimmer right through it. Fucking idiots. #portsunlight

Someone on my estate Facebook group has just demanded that it become 'a true platform for freedom of speech.'

They've managed to frame an article to make it sound like parents value the current EHCP system which, for many, is a long and laborious route to basic support. It is clearly a system that should only be used to assign significant support in a specialist setting. inews.co.uk/news/250000-...
250,000 SEND pupils could lose their legal guarantees of extra support
Parents are 'terrified' by the idea of EHCPs being cut from mainstream schools

A trade deal and a new Pope. Too much excitement for one day.

You're all getting excited about #swifts because you haven't just watched a pair of whitethroats flirting #portsunlight river park.

Skylark over the house (sound up). They're not as numerous as during COVID (thanks, crap dog owners) but they're having a decent spring so far (fingers crossed).

First sighting this spring of the Cetti's Warbler at the Port Sunlight River Park yesterday...but this morning a Sedge Warbler too! Not bad for an old landfill site

Can anyone recommend a camera with a faster shutter speed?

To remember the suffering of our Lord I'm driving three hours to Brunton Park to watch Carlisle v Port Vale. Except in this version, I'm hoping Jesus kicks the s*** out of a legionary and doesn't get crucified.

The 'when did America become so cruel?' discourse is boiling my historian piss today.

Thanks to tariffs on the Farne Islands they've got no choice but to relocate again to Wisconsin.

First puffins spotted back on the Farne Islands after spending the winter 'rafting' at sea
The puffins have arrived in perfect time, as visitors are welcomed back to Inner Farne in the 28-island archipelago this month

Now I'm angry about my trade deficit with all the charity shops I've given books to over the years. They've treated me very badly.

When you didn't think you could get more excited about a forthcoming book but you just did. An author and illustrator immersed in landscapes. Can't wait.
I am delighted to announce that the illustrator for my forthcoming book, The Postal Paths, is fellow Cumbrian Mark Richards @fellranger.bsky.social. His pen and ink style is just perfect for the rural scenes (he was mentored by Alfred Wainwright). Book due April 24. linktr.ee/postalpaths
