Just caught up with #potterythrowdown final. Any of them could have won. I think I would have chosen Angharrad but they were all good.

Crumbs, that went fast. You’re going to have an empty nest soon. Poor Claire. You’ll have to have J & E over more often.

First 2 episodes really good. I’d watch the first one before reading this review.

‘Joseph Wright of Derby’s contemporary viewers associated his night pieces with a kind of sublime unclarity, a glare or glitter that obscured as much as it illuminated.’

Keir Starmer is right to consider the best options for the UK and not just jump when anyone says so. Especially when the one saying to jump is Trump

I wonder if a drone has hit Dubai Marina. Or whether it was just

If only loads of Dubai based accounts, including Isabel Oakeshott's, could tell me.

I like that you can set it on Bluesky to only let you post photos when you have added the ALT. I usually read the ALT when people bother to do it as often it adds more detail.

I like your ALT. Thanks for doing that

Agree. No excuse for not doing that as I am sure he has an assistant to help him to be more inclusive.

Huntley. Don’t RIP. Shame he didn’t live but cheaper this way. Maybe also some closure for the poor families of his victims.

How Travelodge in Maidenhead gave sex attacker key to woman's room The woman, who woke to find Kyran Smith sexually assaulting her, branded a £30 reward offer

Shocked by what happened at #Travelodge they need to change their procedure so they don’t give key to someone who just knows someone’s name.

“High standards and inclusion are two sides of the same coin.”

After reading the white paper carefully and discussing it during a SENCo forum this week, I’ve written on the shift in language, and what some of this might mean for schools in practice.
