I have a Danish lesson to teach a bunch of 7-9 year olds on Saturday, and I’m blank on ideas for a theme. Too early for Christmas, we’ve done autumn… anyone got any bright ideas?

One of the kitchen areas in the office has caused a horrid stink. As a result the facilities team have opened the windows (no one knew the windows could open) and we're now all sitting in our coats complaining about the cold rather than the horrid stench! I guess that's sot of "problem solved"?!

4yo son came back from trick or treating this evening and excitedly showed me his most prized treats- two satsumas! According to the au pair the lady offering them alongside sweets said he was the only child who’d picked the fruit as his treat.

As a teen I worked in the local library after school. I was trusted with a key so I could open up if the librarian was delayed. I used the key to go in during the summer holiday when the library was closed for weeks to do a bit of housekeeping and, more importantly, get some new books to read.

Conversation at dinner:
9yo son: I don’t want to do playtime at school anymore, the other boys cheat at bulldog.
Me: Can’t you just play with the girls instead?
9yo (under his breath): Oh Hell…
Me (and the au pair): 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Sent young 4yo C off to his first full day at school this morning. He started on Monday and have settled in well with 3 half days. I cannot believe my baby boy is now a schoolboy.

Home from #ARA2025 and I have some reflections on why I think it is beneficial attending conferences once in a while (and why I love going to @araconference.bsky.social). These are personal observations, you might not agree, and that’s fine. If that is the case, please share your thoughts. 1/7

Opened my fortune cooking from the keynote session this morning. “You will soon witness a special ceremony.” That will be the #ARA2025 Plenary then. Another great conference coming to an end.

The inspiration from day one of #ARA2025 is this slide and the idea that an empty shelf in an archive is a silent history. We were urged to be change-makers, to go out and find the missing records to give those silent histories a voice.

If you're not watching a live stream of a century old church serenely move through the Swedish countryside, what are you doing with your Tuesday?
Entire church begins two-day journey across Swedish city of Kiruna
The landmark 113-year-old wooden building is at risk from subsidence and will be moved 5km on giant rolling platforms.
