Nowt profound to share. 2024 has been kind. I've found time to do things I love, with those I love. From bike builds and trips away, to theatre trips (both stage and hospital), I've been blessed.

Hope 2025 has great things on store.

Happy New Year 🥳

Merry Christmas!
May your lives be full;
of the joy family & friends bring,
of love & the peace that it holds,
of adventure & discovering the world,
of a sense of purpose & the gift of helping others.

To full bellies, full lives, & full hearts!

'To absent friends'

Thinking of those whose lives changed. Still passing on the lessons learnt and wisdom bestowed in schools.

Always remembered, just a little more today.

8 years since I finished AMF sampling! How's that gone so quickly?

Happy birthday JB. You should be 54 today. Instead, you're forever 41.

Happy St Eligius Day to any engineers and/or REME soldiers out there.

Careers assemblies this week. Y11 & 10 have local colleges in talking about T-levels and vocational courses.

Me? I'll be talking about ikigai and how we grow toward happiness in our professional lives. Embracing change & making your own path is part of careers.

Cracking MIG weld and a decent effort at TIG -

Lads day out at motorcycle live. Great to meet the Machine Shop team. Oisín smashed out a weld that makes me wonder whether engineering's genetic! Thanks for putting the biggest smile on his face.

Well, if we go to war with Russia, can my HT refuse to sign my LOA form due to a lack of cover?

Asking for a friend...

Came across this on Insta. It's not a race. You'll gain nowt from getting cross with yourself. Just making small steps forward is still progress and development.

Bosnia, last century, before some of our current trainees were born.

Today, I'll remember mates no longer with us, and our time rebuilidng a school during that tour. Now I'm teaching - mad.

With a full 7 period day, I hope it's a gentle one.

Been ill this last week, and as the year closes to November (Remembrance) and December (birthday & death of JB), I'm finding social media a bit much.

Going to take a break. Hell, with the algorithms, I don't even know who'll see this...

I know that at least one person on my socials will need to hear this today.

It's nearly Halloween, so I thought I'd ask who your favourite vampire is.

Mine is the one from the muppets, and before you try and tell me he doesn't count, I can assure you he does!

Gutted to have pulled out of speaking at #rED24 yesterday, but delighted that the response was "Family first, always." Without cover for this little one after the midwife being needed, I'm glad organisers understood. Thanks @hgaldinoshea.bsky.social & @tombennett71.bsky.social for your support.

Preparation is key when you're doing a nut & bolt motorbike restoration. A challenge Oisín set himself for his DofE silver award. He'll be recording the whole thing for YouTube as well as producing his official logs.

Some quality time ahead!

The last time there's a picture of us before her surgery tomorrow. This cleft lip and palate journey is twenty years down the line, with a shorter journey ahead of us as a family.

I remember tears after her lip repair. Tomorrow will be just as emotional.

I've been quiet on the bird app recently, as it wasn't positively contributing to my life. Here's to hoping Bluesky is something different 🤞🏻

A quick introduction: I'm a Science teacher & Careers Lead in the East Mids. Not always been a teacher. Always open to supporting others where I can. #EduSky
