Not so much #MathsToday, more #SchoolToday but my class display is all set up in the hall and ready for tomorrow night. Big job!!

In my PJs at not quite 6pm and settling in for the evening with this rather large tome.

Miss 14 - “What *is* that beast - the Bible or something?”

I mean, good call. It’s set in the time of Mary and Elizabeth Tudor’s reigns so there’s a fair bit of Catholic/Protestant to-and-fro-ing.

Xmas #pageant today. The aliens and Magi followed the star and lookie who they found!! #cute :)

Also, one of the mics didn’t work and I (on the sound desk) got all the mad stares, rather than the actor who had MUTED at THEIR end!! Grr.

In #MathsToday, “Miss, this calculator is really hot, can I use your mini screwdriver?”

Turns out the spring at the end of the battery was MELTING THE PLASTIC CASING!!

Seven years since I asked my UK friend Ed to attend a #taskmaster book signing and meet @alexhorne.bsky.social on my behalf.

One day I SHALL see you ‘soon’, Alex. I just need to win the lottery first.

Checked out the new road from #Woodville to #Palmy via #Remutaka today on my bike. Lunch with my big sis in Palmy North, then back home over #Paekakariki. Obligatory stop at the top of course!

I swear this is how the tiles fell.
Don’t know what it is, but it sounds fun! 😂

This is the band rotunda in Devenport. I was heading past it on a bus one day and noted the music on it. Turns out it’s “God save the King”. So cool!

#Ashes on cricinfo or #NZvsWI on free tv? #Blackcaps please!

Still ‘watching’ the Ashes but the poor person version.

Home from dinner at the in-laws. They have Sky but now I’m home I have to slum it with text-based cricket 😒
Oh well, at least I have wine so that’s something.

My local fb had one of those “let’s help each other - what do you need?” posts.

I needed some large boxes for a school display and also asked about the sequel to a book that I read recently.

Not only did I get my boxes, I got ALL SIX of the books in the series. And nobody wanted any money. Win!

One thing I really enjoy is writing new lyrics to existing songs.
This is an upcoming farewell ‘speech’ for my Head of Maths.

I literally laughed out loud when the underlined gag came to me and giggled all the way through typing it. 😂

(It’s to the tune of #MontyPython #LumberjackSong)

The start of another working week and a gorgeous day!

Started without you. Only fair as I also started Saturday evening 12 hours earlier than you.

When sanding and oiling your #kobudo weapons, it’s important to have your teens in the room with you and ensure you make eye contact with them to make it *really* awkward.

Nothing much, just cool photo that my hubby took of me looking fierce at a #karate #kobudo demo on the weekend. #HuttJapanDay

Gorgeous day here in #welly! Enjoying the late afternoon sun and watching #NZLvJAM from a comfy spot on the couch.

I mean this is spam, right @support.bsky.team ?

My rambling thoughts are not likely to threaten anyone’s security 🤷🏻‍♀️
