Keeping me honest tonight 😄 there was cheese tonight but also #WinterOlympics
This #selfcare cheeseboard did some heavy lifting as I set myself up for a big week. #EduSky #Cheese

I might live to regret the long post I've just put on FB about "draw me" ChatGTP trend which seems to be on every 4th profile as I did my weekly check on family/friends accounts. 😬🫣

I'm taking a Hobbit's approach to life today and on 2nd breakfast before going for a 2nd viewing of the house I saw on Monday, which now has a closing date of this Tuesday and I'm planning to put in a written offer (first one I'll have put in). 🫣
This may also be stress eating!

Well they didn't hold back on that message about peace did they?!
Then the group carrying the flag! 🥹 Now that was powerful and I'm now a bit soggy 🥲 #Peace 🕊️ #MilanoCortina #WinterOlympics #OpeningCeremony

I Am Bat by Morag Hood- I laugh every time!
I'd also say Donut Squad, Bumble & Snug, Looshkin, Bunny Vs Monkey, Loki, Pablo & Splash.

Bonus points to the pupil who knows how to impress their book mad teacher while also showing they've been paying attention to our topic of Vikings 😄 It reads (using the futhark alphabet on a worksheet) "I love books so much". This pupil is also telling the truth, they do love books 😊 #ScoEdu #EduSky

I love my Sunday cheese but sometimes you've got to listen to your body. Feeling a bit queasy today and dairy didn't seem like the sensible choice. Guess that means mid week cheese then! For tonight, still a picky tea but hopefully easier on my stomach

Shared this the other day. I've organised for @ldlapinski.bsky.social to spend most of the week of #WorldBookDay in #Orkney 🎉🤩 they'll be visiting my school on #WBD itself as well as 3 other primary schools across the week. I am beyond thrilled to have this happening! @scottishbooktrust.bsky.social

My excuse is reducing food waste! The camembert was reduced in my cheese shop at the weekend and needed used up 😄 just the thing to top me up to get me through Friday! #Cheese #EduSky

I've not posted this personally till now but with 5 weeks to go I'm VERY excited to be welcoming @ldlapinski.bsky.social to #Orkney for #WorldBookDay to visit my school as well as a few others that week 🤩 What an opportunity for our pupils!

Highlight of a lovely day at work. The Reading Leadership Group @scottishbooktrust.bsky.social were meeting to finalise our #ReadingSchoolsWeek plans & one of the P7s gave me this which they'd stitched for me 😍 elephants are my favourite animal 🥹 🔗 using The Barnabus Project next week! #EduSky

Now @neillcameron.bsky.social the boys did want me to point out that not every picture here is Donut Squad. They've been drawing all the characters and creating some of their own over the last couple of weeks! 🤩🙌 The books have only been in class for 3+ weeks! You've got fans in #Orkney 👏🏻🍩 #EduSky

I'd not included disabled people who were 'euthanized' and so I've now edited the image and I'm resharing.

Today we remember the millions systematically murdered by the Nazi regime.
We remember what happens when people are contained and seen as disposable.
We remember the 6 million Jews, the roughly 19 million from Slavic nations, the Roma, the homosexuals, the political opponents and protesters.

Cosy and comforting tonight for the cheeseboard and the last of the 'festive' cheese, all good things come to an end! #Cheese #SelfCare #EduSky #ScoEdu

Fairly near though I don't drive so hard to see orcas when you can't respond to the location messages and get to a good spot. But otters can be seen in Kirkwall and seals pop up everywhere!
View out over Kirkwall bay from my spare room window 😄

@neillcameron.bsky.social I didn't get a chance to post this yesterday but my random name spinner is being used a lot as the class eagerly take turns at reading both Donut Squad books! Teo pupils who have already read one of the books showed me these yesterday 🤩 #UKKidLit #GraphicNovels #EduSky

#SelfCare #Cheese it's been windy and rained all day. I'll never be one of life's people who start dieting in January, winter is the season of comfort food! The beetroot smoked salmon is from Jollys of Orkney share.google/KT5TkZz3iX9L... and very good! 🤤 #ScoEdu #EduSky

Sorry to moan but I'm a bit done with snow. I have had about 7in of snow all around my house for the last few days (and I'm in a sheltered spot) lots of it has thawed, then now...it's snowing again. 2cm more so far. #Snow #Orkney

When you get home from work to homemade cheese twists on the table from the neighbours 🥰🤤 - neighbours have the spare keys as their washing machine is on the blink and they've a toddler and a 4 week old, so they're making use of mine.
Just the thing to go with my leftover sausage casserole tonight!
January 7, 2026 at 7:00 PM
It's a cosy sausage casserole sort of evening here, with hot buttered roast just out of the picture. Hope everyone managed their first teaching Monday of 2026! #Orkney #SnowDay #ScoEdu #EduSky
January 5, 2026 at 6:21 PM
Well there's worse ways to do Monday morning! Large cup of positivi-tea and time to do some admin jobs. Hope everyone who is back in got there safely and has a good day #EduSky #ScoEdu #SnowDay #Orkney 🥶❄️

Time to get back to the normal meal routines after the festive season 😂 #Cheese is for life not just for Christmas! With schools in #Orkney closed tomorrow due to the snow, I'm enjoying #SelfCare cheeseboard without the anxiety of a usual 1st day of term & grateful for warmth & food #EduSky #ScoEdu

I would like it noted that I have considered going for a walk today but then another wave of hail/ icy snow is blown past on the strong winds. Think I'll just stay inside! #Orkney
