From the DfE as they tell schools to cut costs and fund the next three years of teacher pay rises.

Of course we need more support staff. The increase reflects the rapid rise in SEND needs in schools. It’s not rocket science.

We were there in the snow. It was magical, and very different from the summer.

Hey @mrsveritea.bsky.social I’ve got a day for you! Did you know it’s International Red Panda day on Saturday? I have many many photos of me feeding two on one of my best days ever.

Ditto!

Languishing in bed with a horrible sickness thing when this @nataliehaynes.bsky.social signed beauty arrives in the post 😊 . Saving it for when I’m well enough to concentrate, but already know I’ll love it.

Wow - that’s amazing - how does he get to be playing in three matches at once?

This is one of the prettiest desserts I’ve seen for a while. Tasted as good as it looked.

I forgot this little beauty landed on my knee yesterday.

Too right.
Cicadas are noisy little buggers. They’d add some ambience to your act.

Pic from our balcony last year.

We had his mate on our balcony …
Good job they didn’t meet or yours would be a goner.

When you’ve been to a place so many times you really don’t feel the need to take any more photos, until you do. Love this view from our balcony.

This just turned up on our balcony. For size context - that’s the base of our parasol. This is not a small beastie.

Room service dinner tonight. Delicious.

Hmmmm - where to start? I managed to restrict myself to one main plate, and a teeny weeny taster second one!

Happy 35th Mr and Mrs Alien anniversary 💖

Thank you to our hotel for always remembering if we’re here on the right date!

And relax!

About 18 pages in I told AlienHusband that I didn’t think this book and I were going to be friends. How wrong I was. Completely loved it.

I may have bought this from the charity shop today even though I already own all the individual seasons on DVD, and the whole lot digitally. Needed the extras.
AlienGrandson (10 months old) made me do it.

One of my favourite books of the year thus far, despite some strange printing errors. Couldn’t put it down.

I can’t do trips as I really don’t do boats! We got lucky today.

First visit to Wells-next-the-sea today. Amazing beach, and a seal decided to pop out of the water onto the sand literally a metre away from us.

My azalea couldn’t be bothered last year. Made up for it this year.
