RiP Scappy, our (son’s) Bearded Dragon. She’s had a good innings, 14 years.
Bearing in mind our son moved out 7 years ago.

Cheers bin men, for ensuring that, on Christmas Eve, ours was one of the two recycling wheely bins that despite you putting them together with everyone else’s, you then didn’t empty 😩 #FirstWorldProblems

An extreme version of a flu recovery run yesterday. A tough 15 miles of Cornish coast path. A stunning route though. ☀️🌊 #EduRunners

It’s done 25 years and will do another quarter century. Mainly because we only ever use about 60% of it 🤣🤣

Been listening to The Running Man audiobook ready for the new movie, which follows it more closely.

Just put the TV on. 99 to Beat on ITV is the thin end of the wedge.

Trump is closing all four climate observatory stations in Alaska, Hawaii, American Samoa, and Antartica. Because you can't have high CO2 levels if you don't *measure* CO2 levels.

Having just listened whilst on my run. Firstly, sorry again Bill 😉 @drwilkinsonsci.bsky.social , and secondly, thanks for your very actionable (and sweary 🤣) words on supporting SEN students.

Big 🤜🤛 for getting a running analogy in too! 🙂
What's the job of a SENCO?

According to Bill Wilkinson, the prime director is to just listen.

Take the time, and listen.

Second year of running the Sunset Half on Saturday evening. No sunset, damp and windy. Almost 400m of climb on the SW coast path. Seemingly endless drag along Perran Sands to the finish. 1st V50 male 🙂 #EduRunners
