They’ve cleaned the house so I don’t have any chores tonight, Laura cooked chilli, I have a glass of something bubbly & we’re playing Nintendo :)

I have rather lush kids if I do say so myself

Area 51 style alien sat on a book

Introducing Elvis. Brought to you by the mischief makers (aka my children) behind ‘creepy doll in guests’ bedroom’, ‘realistic moving cockroach’ and ‘Laura’s gnashers’. A new friend to travel around the house to be found in unexpected places 😂

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

Sat on a step in Florence having a beer waiting for a ghost tour. Might go search out some live music after. A couple years ago I’d never have gone out and done this stuff on my own. 2 years single and loving my peace and feeling right in my skin.

There has been a big pile of cheese and good wine :)

Off to Florence for a few days. :)

@alantperry.bsky.social Ride for the day :)

Baldrick the dog trying to look sweet and innocent. Laid on rug with a belly full of Sainsbury’s extra special roast beef

I nabbed a yellow ticket bargain of a big joint of roasting beef. I thought I had left it cooling after dinner safely away from Baldrick & Mags to use the rest in spag Bol and cottage pie in the week. WRONG! They’ve teamed up and ate the lot!

Joyful morning with EY/KS1 this morning. Really productive, positive PhD supervision followed by lasagna and chatting with friends this evening. It’s been such a good day. :)

Introducing my 15 year old to a classic 😜

The real threat to labour isn't bumbling Corbyn - it's the greens.

Green Party - Nationalise the water companies, tax the super rich, invest in our public services, stop the genocide, lower bills.

The Telegraph - Greens are "hard left."

Productive PhD day so early night with some escapism it is.

2nd child flown the nest to uni. All settled and happy.
Me on the other hand, trying not to cry in the Indian take away. There are times being a lone parent proper sucks. #mealforone #loneparent

Ireland becomes latest country to boycott Eurovision 2026 'if Israel participate RTE released a statement today.

Chicken and veg soup bubbling in pot.

When your eldest child (22) messages from their new home and says they don’t feel well so they NEED Mammy’s special soup. Meals on wheels it is. They never stop being our babies. #AllTheGoodStuff #chickensoupforthesoul #flownthenest

I’ve found study hard this year. I think it’s a combination of a meds change & the realisation that I’ll need a first full draft finished in little over a year. Focus and overwhelm have figured quite highly. However, finally feeling like the PhD malaise is passing. On with the coding! #PhDlife

One of my favourite class discussions when I taught English…

‘Knowledge is knowing Frankenstein is not the creature. Wisdom is understanding he’s the monster… Discuss’

30 is quite regularly double decker :)

Off to Wingstop to celebrate Grace’s Y10 results. I just got incredibly excited because we get to ride a double decker bus. I am 44yo. 😂

Not even 9am. So far on Radio 6, the news bulletins have featured a mother saying her daughters aren't safe because of asylum seekers, a Tory politician lambasting Labour for crossing numbers & Badenoch encouraging councils to lodge legal challenges against hotels. An endless stream of hateful bile.

fundamentally the problem is that if you think "hotels are where I stay on holiday and I like being on holiday so living in a hotel must be fun and it's not fair others get to do it and not me" then you have the intellectual reasoning of a little child and it's going to be hard to engage with you

Cracking B movie that doesn’t take itself seriously, just joyfully silly.

It is an essential life skill!

I’m not sure which Laura is prouder of… that she got 4 A’s or that she’s mastered making the perfect bacon butty before heading to university 😂

Study day #PhdLife

Laura smashed her A Levels! Off to Reading to read Philosophy!

After a few days of PhD work I’m out out! Not been on a night out in ages! The Cover Lovers are a cracking band! #SupportLocalMusic
