Anyone know of a decent little video/blogging/socials camera sub £100? I'm sure I saw some recommendations on here at some point.

Had an opinion. Documented it. Put it on the internet where opinions live.

Discovered that the answer to this is George at Asda.
Where do we buy vest tops now? They were a staple in H&M but they seem to have disappeared. Is it because autumn is encroaching? Can we not layer up as the seasons change? Are we relegated to t-shirts and jumpers as the nights draw in? WHAT IF I ENJOY MY SHOULDERS!

This used to be a country.

Went on holiday. Took videos. Edited them together. Put on silly little subtitles. Stuck it on the internet for posterity.

Also, had a lovely time.

Not all heroes wear capes. Some of them wear cowboy boots and sequins.

And also capes.

Dolly a week was a lot of fun and I'm glad it made a difference x
I genuinely don’t think I’d have made it through 2020 without listening to every Dolly Parton album in order with @dipurple.bsky.social over on Twitter.

Did a bunch of mucking about on TikTok with KitKats.

Sometimes words are fun.

Please enjoy.

Far as I can tell, Robert Redford was:
* successful at everything he tried
* genuinely intelligent & insightful
* desired by women
* envied by men
* an absolute mensch to everyone he dealt with
* a tireless, lifelong philanthropist
... and he died peacefully in his sleep.

10/10 life. No notes.

Turns out that if you're going to be the Lead Teacher for Creative Industries and Digital Media, you're going to be handed responsibility of all of the socials for all of the pathways that are being developed. Plus your school website and bulletin. I'm very much having to get my head round a lot.

Oh hey pals. Apparently I do TikToks now. Larks!

This has been bubbling away in the background for a wee while now but it got its official launch today. I'm excited to see how we can incorporate it into the pathways I'm in position to develop!

Bought a £12 kettle for my office from the middle of Lidl. So when the fire investigators are looking for the root cause, send them this picture.

REAR WINDOW was released 71 years ago today. One of the most enduring Alfred Hitchcock thrillers, and among the most popular films of James Stewart and Grace Kelly, the story of how it was made might give you the feeling you’re being watched…

Watching Chappell Roan on the telly and getting a wonderful warm feeling because Lily and I are off to see her this week. PLUS Jade is supporting. I'm so utterly delighted.

Just spent 30 minutes worrying that my boiler was broken as I couldn't repressurise the system then I realised that the last engineer closed a valve that was usually left open so once I turned it I managed to refill the system.

And THAT is how I'm spending my 46th birthday.

Yesterday I had a really lovely Fringe experience - a bus was having a right-of-way standoff with a Ferrari on Candlemaker Row. Neither would yield to the other. Everyone spectating was utterly united in who we thought was at fault. It was glorious.

Wonderful.
This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

Weird results day today since I didn’t teach any classes this year, but the girls I tutored did really well so that feels good. Dead proud of them.

I don't know if I've ever seen so many people willing a couple into existence as much as I have with Pamela and Liam. WE ALL JUST WANT HAPPINESS TO EXIST.
