I haven't done a concert for ages. Played my fingers off (violin, not harp tonight), with an amazing bunch of people.
I'm left pondering the connection music brings to people, and how together we turn dots on the page into an emotional response.
Music is like a heartbeat โค๏ธ

Right.
I have to commit to writing the book.
I've had a few months of retirement and enjoyed doing supply in ASN.
But now I have to get my experience down on paper.
It's time โค๏ธ

5 yrs ago, today, children went into lockdown.
This is a shout-out to Head Teachers. Nobody understood the crushing responsibility, sacrifices, or fears you faced for your communities...Front and centre, ensuring your communities were safe/ creating hubs.
You are awesome โค๏ธ

My aunt had to have medical assistance on holiday in Grenada.
She twisted her ankle, playing on a swing.
She's 95 years old.
I'm mortified and proud, in equal measure ๐Ÿคฃ

This week, I realise there IS such a thing as a "sore winner."
I also realise that Artificial Intelligence doesn't scare me nearly as much as Natural Stupidity does.
These are worrying times.
The good-hearted folks in the world need to keep speaking out ๐Ÿ’”

We've all done the 'rushing back to work too early' and regretted it! Your HT is right... stay cosy x

Aesthetically, that's fabulous. Technically, it's awe-inspiring.

It was diabolical. Utter ignorance towards a very well-known and respected MP.

Education and skills 2050: Future proofing Scotland This proposal is a vision for Scottish education in 2050 that delivers economic prosperity, meets climate needs, and promotes human dignity.


Here is the link to the RSE report - Education and skills 2050: Future proofing Scotland

In general terms it is hard to disagree with this - but seriously lacking in detail, open to multiple interpretations and in places conceptually unclear (1/3)
