Can you help?

Every now & then I witter on about washing & mending for a local clothing charity.

We’ve done school uniform packs & now it’s time for Winter Warmer packs.

If you can donate a small amount to our crowdfunder it would really help. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/winter-war...

Always a fan of clear grammar explanations - this is a good 'un for the subjunctive. ##mflbluesky 👌🏻 @theniceman.bsky.social

Most important thing is grasping the meaning of sub and junctive. After that it's a doddle.

Regularly get up at 5am (instead of my usual 5.40am) to be able to read in peace with a cuppa. No sign of productivity, success or wealth but I enjoy it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Highly recommend this excellent Belgian film we caught at the cinema hier soir.
Heartbreaking and heartwarming in equal measure. #mflbluesky ##filmsky #moviesky

Big fan of the "control enthusiast" rebrand. Will definitely be adopting some of these I don't currently use. Thanks @ttradioofficial.bsky.social

100% this, luckily my 3 are still little enough to share an adult portion between them, they've never been big fans of the beige array (it's a pain when I just want to shove something in the oven after work).

Barbara Trapido's "Brother of the More Famous Jack" would be a good start. 1982 but lots still relevant.

When our pupils had to make a call for work experience using a *landline*, they didn't understand how to dial the number if they couldn't see it on the screen. We prepared them and practised and the calls went well. I also practise difficult calls before I make them, why wouldn't I? 🤷🏻‍♀️
