The earthquake that hit Russia today is the 7th largest quake in the last 100 years. Watch out for plenty of aftershocks too.

Few shots from Brazil. Loved the diversity, street vibe and architecture in Rio/Sao Paulo.

Demon Copperhead was excellent. Both harrowing and entertaining at the same time. Second great Barbara Kingsolver novel I've read, alongside the Lacuna #booksky

4th or 5th cold this winter (losing count). Definitely the worst thing about working with kids. At least meteorological spring starts in 13 days ☀️

The new Ofsted report card doesn't meaningfully improve things. Ofsted should be primarily focused on informing govt of failing schools & providing support rather than giving parents a subjective, simplified report of a school. Why not a written report?

Was wary about indulging Robbie's arrogance but this felt sincere and heartfelt. Also, really well produced and choreographed.

Another fascinating border is Baarle-Nassau & Baarle-Hertog where Covid restrictions forced a store to close its Belgian side but keep the Dutch side open

Bir Tawil is a 2,000km area of unclaimed land on the Egypt-Sudan border, which neither country claims due to a border dispute. #geography #geographyteacher

So Elon Musk does a Nazi salute twice and this is how the BBC report it?

Always find this a great way to start teaching economic migration. The UAE has one of the world's most gender imbalanced populations (70% male) #geography #geographyteacher

Wonder if Trump even knows how much land the US would gain from invading Greenland and Canada... #Geography

Obviously very welcome news coming out of Syria. Worth noting that much of the Middle East's chaos is partly the result of the arbitrary borders drawn up by Britain & France in 1916

Love the lyrics for Falling Together by Jamie xx. A play on Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot. Such a great closing song for the album.

Great to see Nao at the Round Chapel last night. Excited for her new album in Feb.

Bit windy out there innit? UK is one of the windiest places in the world right now.

Saw this last night. Always thought Lesley Manville a great actor on screen but this was another level. Well worth seeing.

Although in fairness it's better than it was
