I have been trying to find pearl onions to add to casseroles. I love onions. I have just discovered these from Ocado. They are pearl onions, peeled, blanched and frozen from Italy. Not pickled.

I taught through all of these reforms. I was there when the first ever Y2 SATs took place with all the floating and sinking malarky.
I have seen every assessment system be introduced and the OFSOD framework change repeatedly.
Nothing really changes at all. Just a new wrapper.

Remembering Tim Rylands on this day.
He had me believe holding Mr Walker, his stick and waving it in the air moved the cursor on the screen. Turned out it was in his pocket after all.

Time to drink champagne and dance on the tables.
On this day my Dad's ashes were interred and he gave me life as my heart started to beat for the very first time. Best birthday a girl could get.

I've had a double dose of 'flu-like things' and now heading into week 5. Mum is on week 7. We're both heading towards the tail end of it but it has been an awful thing to shift.
I can't wait to get back to smelling of Chanel No.5 and not Eau d'Olbas.
Vicks is just too sticky.

Lovely day doing governor things including monitoring but also chatting to parents during parent consultations. Home for something simple for supper.

Mum is still recovering from a chest infection so has missed a few Sundays at church with me. I've been visiting but lunching alone. Today was grilled asparagus with smoked salmon & poached duck eggs. The duck eggs were a first. I managed to poach them & stay runny not snotty.

Why don't the press call him out there and then? Are they fearful of their jobs and lives because this person is a deluded serial narcissist and misogynistic sociopath who actively seeks revenge upon his fellow Americans? He lacks any humility.

I mix turmeric powder with orange and apple juice and a little vinegar. It’s not a great taste but I like to think it does me and my liver good.
Need the orange and apple to take away the bitterness. I buy Willy vinegar. assets.sainsburys-groceries.co.uk/gol/7957835/...
