I bought a beautiful dress and now need somewhere to wear it. Thanks to AI for removing the background detritus of my life and despite me not asking smoothing my elbow out so it looks like it has never bent.

Thank you to everyone who has sponsored our new podcast “Nothing to Bring” which starts Jan (but as I’m over excited probably earlier). If you want to sponsor, equipment left to purchase www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/...

This weekend, I finally managed to run 5km without stopping. I have lost 50% of my body weight. I can't tell you how far my body and mind have come. Still a way for my brain to come, and want to be strong but this is what resilience looks like.

Running a DnD game is much like teaching in a PRU. You organise it to the nth degree before the people participating turn the planning on its head & create chaos. Thank you for letting me DM as a newbie @heimdayl.bsky.social @didau.bsky.social @dcbradshaw.com @jameshandscombe.bsky.social

This time last year my husband was in A&E after anaphylaxis reaction, so today it was my turn. Very good support from NHS and MRI shows nothing worrying, so will just moan a lot about the sciatica for next few weeks 🥰

How can I get quicker? I’m so incredibly slow. I’m super proud of myself as I’m now able to actually run beyond two minutes

Isolation in schools - separation or support

Yep - slow, but 25 minutes running without stopping 💪🏽

I spoke about global challenges of mental health for special education teachers at the university for women’s teacher training in Kazakstan.

I also found this video clip of me entering STEAM school which shows my utter joy. #edusky

Excited to share that Matt Morris & I are launching a new podcast in January called Nothing to Bring
It’s all about education, curiosity, & the geeky things we love.
Come for the ideas, stay (or maybe go) for the tangents. #edusky #thisisAP #Podcast #NothingToBring

My thighs would like to make a formal complaint about my mantra of doing things at the first opportunity & not the last. But with a ten mile hike up the Almaty mountains in kazakstan, my brain says thank you

Yes that’s right I’m posing because I’ve lost 8 stone.

A bit of my day in Kazakstan.
My focus was on @bromcom.bsky.social work on days analysis & targeted support which I’m increasingly fascinated by. How we can analyse data to influence policies & strategies support children, to me, is most important thing.

My most recent review of my book; had to buy it.

So sorry dude, that really isn’t okay you had no choice. I’m glad it met expectations (hopefully better than minimum)

Also I’ve got two more books out if people want to buy them www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Sarah...

Today whilst in a SEND DfE meeting representing PRUsAP, I was also trying to evict a squirrel from my house. After three hours, I was successful; I’m sure there is a metaphor of the squirrel being between books of hope and mindfulness

Did it! Got passed the stupid time I couldn’t get past and did 20 minute straight! I’m now hotter than the sun

Toilet selfie as I don’t have full length mirror at home 🫣
Had a lovely evening at NASEN awards and now keynote on #SEND in Wigan 🥰
