Trees . This is my tree - a tree that grows at a local rec that I picked out in Lockdown and visited daily.

Thank you, kind sir… Love both but I think Mr Blue Sky is the one I can imagine running on the stage to.. and the one that would match my perfect cartwheels as part of my entrance ( in my dreams!)

Out walking today- nature is a balm for a sad heart.

Mum passed away today and is at peace now. 🥰💕She was a lovely woman so it is fitting that she died on a day dedicated to love.

Today a song for my mum - she was a great fan of Elvis so, as she is in the last days of her life right now on Earth, and getting ready for the next one - this one

@eyesshutteacher.bsky.social Are you watching Amandaland?
Ann’s despair teaching maths to teenagers + her declaration that maths teaching is so hard.. coupled with the teacher’s heartfelt ‘Amen to that!’ is a sentiment oft felt at the end of a WhiteRose whole class maths teaching session. Classic

Every primary teacher in the land who teaches whole class maths felt Ann’s misery when she announced that maths teaching was…soo.. hard.., and joined in with the teacher’s ‘Amen to that sister.’ Classic comedy! @mrsmoggie.bsky.social

Anyone who ever taught White Rose Maths listened to Ann saying ‘I thought maths teaching would be so easy… but it is.. sooo.. hard,’ and joined in with the ‘Amen to that sister!’ in episode 3 of Amandaland. Wonderful writing and acting. 😂🤣

Does a hat have a spirit?- I think not. Sorry. I think you have found a hat that you loved and you can enjoy that. By the way I bought the exact jumper that I liked that I’d given away on Brighton beach over ten years ago. I like my new jumper but I know it’s not the exact one I gave away.

I had mine stolen in Rome last year while on holiday. Not replaced it yet but imagine, when I do, I’ll be on 5 mins checks weeks before, during and until I’m back in UK soul through all the checks. The only upside is I did get a very cute blue one day one for a day.

Think this might be a good pressie for my grown up niece who created a lockdown quiz of short animation of films : guess the film.

Love this. I am lying on a couch next to my mum who is in the last stages of life. It is a beautiful passage. Yes, it is making me cry now but I think it may be something I read a week from now, a month from now, a year from now and it bring me joy.

Loved the series of this back in the day when I was a child. Must have been in the seventies- that old grandfather clock striking thirteen. We had great dramas for children back then. What do other people remember?

It was reopened in another part of our town- and the present day doctors clinic is housed there on the site of the original library now- named Library House Surgery 🥰. It had lovely steps.

It’s the day I’m taking down my tree and Nativity set.

I’m a fan: makes me laugh and, strange as it seems, I think I’ve learnt some stuff about presenting myself and strategy. Mostly from what the apprentices do wrong!

@commonsspeaker.parliament.uk Hope I haven’t missed your appearance on Emmerdale - always great to see a fellow Adlingtonian treading the boards… Pictures of Rivington to brighten your day.
