Recall that the government has spent months saying it can't find any money to prevent nurses and teachers getting very big pay cuts. He just found £6 billion to cut fuel duties. That's a choice.
Well, that was brilliant. Three perfect series and utterly gripping to the very end. Beautifully acted throughout #HappyValley

All this talk of a strike being damaging to children, I’ll tell you what is damaging to children:
Not enough teachers
Not enough money in schools
Buildings in a state of disrepair
Demoralised work force
Loss of goodwill that keeps things going
That will all do far more damage.

Plus, the current pay award is NOT fully-funded, so #schools/children are losing out if we DON’T get what we’re fighting for. This is not a #ballot of self-interest, as some press outlets would have you believe. @NASUWT @neu A #BetterDealforTeachers = a better deal for schools
Regular as clockwork - temperature drops, heating packs up. Every year for the 22 years we’ve lived here. Multiple heating engineers claim to have fixed it. They haven’t. Brrrrr!

Rewatching Detectorists and wrapping birthday presents for our soon to be 18 year old. Pretty good for a Monday!

I could not be more proud of my wonderful GCSE students - their results would be amazing in a normal year but after the two years they have had … just phenomenal. They worked their socks off and I feel optimistic for the future if these are the young people who will be in charge

My classroom was 32C at 7.45 last Monday morning. That’s with the blinds and windows closed all weekend, as we’re being advised to do this week, and with outside temps at that time only about 26C. Later in the day it was hotter. I am genuinely dreading what Mon/Tues may bring …
This has saved my life today. Most of the day it was elsewhere in the lab (poor hot students) but now it is all miiiine!
I’ve put a little bird feeder in the trees where it belongs! Now I just need to make sure I don’t forget to take it home!
