I haven't done a concert for ages. Played my fingers off (violin, not harp tonight), with an amazing bunch of people.
I'm left pondering the connection music brings to people, and how together we turn dots on the page into an emotional response.
Music is like a heartbeat ❤️

Right.
I have to commit to writing the book.
I've had a few months of retirement and enjoyed doing supply in ASN.
But now I have to get my experience down on paper.

5 yrs ago, today, children went into lockdown.
This is a shout-out to Head Teachers. Nobody understood the crushing responsibility, sacrifices, or fears you faced for your communities...Front and centre, ensuring your communities were safe/ creating hubs.
You are awesome ❤️

My aunt had to have medical assistance on holiday in Grenada.
She twisted her ankle, playing on a swing.
She's 95 years old.
I'm mortified and proud, in equal measure 🤣

This week, I realise there IS such a thing as a "sore winner."
I also realise that Artificial Intelligence doesn't scare me nearly as much as Natural Stupidity does.
These are worrying times.
The good-hearted folks in the world need to keep speaking out 💔

This is genuinely lovely 😍
The grandson of former President Jimmy Carter, Jason Carter, tells a story about his grandfather when he first got a cell phone.
So funny and so relatable!

Here is the link to the RSE report - Education and skills 2050: Future proofing Scotland
In general terms it is hard to disagree with this - but seriously lacking in detail, open to multiple interpretations and in places conceptually unclear (1/3)

In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents.
It has been in the Top 3 in education for the last 20 years.
There should be no profit in education or healthcare.

Oh my heart... I loved it.

Hey authors, don’t forget that if you use bookshop.org instead of that great big place, you will be helping out indie bookshops - very few of who make so much they are dabbling with building rockets - you can even choose which bookshop

“Sorry?” I ask.

“Wow!” I respond.

It was a chilly walk today.
I'm trying to exceed 10k steps as often as I can.
