I would be really interested to see if there’s an age split here. I think if I had been teaching when I was in my 20s I’d be more inclined to go on the trip.
But these days, in my late 40s, I prefer my own bed at night

Here you go.

Enjoyed this morning’s clue.

Yikes!

I’d go bottom to top - since it appears to be order of most to least savoury as far as pork pies(?) go.

Debut - Björk
Exile on Coldharbour Lane - Alabama 3
Respect M.E - Missy Elliott
Justified - Justin Timberlake
Kitty Jay - Seth Lakeman

3D did me in for longer than it should have.

Empty the c (from the start of cold) out of pitchers.

You’re welcome. Let me know what you think. I might have a few more composers to try, but who I think are suited to the nights drawing in, a cosy living room, and a good bottle of red wine.

A nice use to add something interesting to the radiation topic. Have you seen this, @joel120193.bsky.social?

It would certainly be great to see you over here more often. I guess people are used to the familiar. I don’t have an X account so here I am, and not really anywhere else.

Oi oi, Saveloy!!!

Nice list. You might want to give John Adams and Steve Reich a listen too.

Hmmm…World naked bike ride is usually the 2nd weekend in June. These folk must be just freestyling.

Everyone loves music but nobody loves music apps. It’s time to leave Spotify | First Dog on the Moon Capitalism ruins everything

Don't be put off moving away from Spotify if you have lots of playlists etc.
Qobuz has much better sound quality, and you can transfer your playlists, albums etc via an app called Soundiiz.
Worth a punt when you get a free trial.

Is that the rule about leaving it and coming back to it later?

Punch bags, penny pushers and Hillbilly shootouts: the 10 best classic seaside arcade machines A trip to the seaside isn’t complete without a jangling cup of 2p coins or an overconfident uncle nursing a sore hand. Here’s a rundown of the top nostalgia-inducing games

This photo has taken me back to my childhood and the penny pushers in Golden Nugget. Happy days of swimming in the Marina Centre, walks on the prom, and the arcades. Saw the Radio 1 roadshow in Yarmouth a couple of times too 🤩

I was at the wrong end of the clue for a bit. Enjoyed this one.

Damsons?

That’s disappointing. If there’s a Costa, their chocolate twists might be a suitable alternative? Safe travels.

Views not as delightful as yours, but feeling accomplished as I have finally broken the couch potato to 5km mental block that I had about jogging for 3 minutes without stopping. Rocking the marginal gains this morning 😂

New to this platform and looking for fellow educators to connect with. I teach PE in Secondary SEMH & KS3 Leader. If any of @deputygrocott.bsky.social followers wish to connect, that would be awesome!

Forgot the alt text- it’s a fluffy grey small dog bed containing a 5.5kg tuxedo cat.

Our teeny tiny tabby has bullied the brute, Tuxie, out of his cat bed. So we’ve bought yet another (small dog) cat bed. So far so good for this 5.5kg boy who, in most parts, is a lover, not a fighter.
Now to keep the teeny tiny one out of it.

Enjoyed this morning’s clue

A tub of lavender

Gardening, garden centre, more gardening. Looking better, but still plenty to do. Have repurposed a tub for a lavender though

Does the ferry still run? We used to do that walk when I was little, but broken up with a stop at the tea shop in Walberswick (Mary Jane’s?) for a flapjack and a cup of tea.
