KS3 English Lead. Reader, movie buff, mother of cats and a ginger teen. One-armed Bandit 🦾
I’m currently having an argument on Twitter with a guy who claimed that a salary of 200k is ‘not a lot of money’ 🙄

Ok. I’ve finally saved enough £ to go on first holiday since pre-covid. White Lotus obsessed teen wants to go to Sicily. Any advice? I want a pretty old town, she wants beach, boutique shops and a pool 🤣 Help!

I need to stage an intervention with myself and shut down my Twitter account. I’m just rubbernecking at a car crash on there. It’s so vile 😬

Hi lovely #EduSky. Do any of you teach The Hunger Games at KS3 and could point me in the direction of some good resources, before I start from scratch… 🫶🏻

Did JD just say, “We can’t just ignore the President’s desires.” ??????? Sounds a bit like, “Napoleon is always right” with an extra helping of creepy 🤯

#EduSky & AQA examiners…
I have a tutee who wants to revise metrical variants in R&J as she thinks it’ll help her to get a G9 at GCSE. A) help me 😬 and B) does she need this?

On episode 2, and now discovering why they were called the Peaky Blinders…
March 10, 2025 at 8:16 PM
I need a new thing. Three biggies I’ve never watched, so should I
A) watch Peaky Blinders
B) watch Breaking Bad
C) watch Ozark

What do you do when your freeholder drops a £2000 bill on you that you can’t pay? Ground rent (£250) “management fee” £1500 + a few other bits. No “management” has taken place. 3 flats in a conversion. Any experts I can DM?

Erm… Elon the Terrible did a Nazi salute.

Meanwhile, over on X - Americans, having downloaded the Chinese version of TikTok, are going out of their minds at what other countries have that they don’t. For too long they have only looked inwards, believing that they live in the greatest country on Earth.

Twitter update: Tate and his minions threatening a CSA survivor. Trump threatening to invade Greenland. Elon calling UK politicians names and generally being batshit crazy. Just a normal Tuesday on “X” 🙄😔

Boxing Day trip to the cinema to see “Conclave”
WOW! Very intense, amazing cast, hidden world. Surprising twist at the end, which actually made total sense. Highly recommend. A very grown up film 😄

Best gift ever!!! Cats + books 🐈🐈‍⬛🫶🏻 Have a brilliant day EduSky 😄

My mum’s new (ish) care home took her and her friends to meet some Alpacas! She loved it, so I bought her some Alpaca socks for Christmas. The sad irony is that she won’t remember the trip. Dementia sucks 😔

UPDATE on “the bad place” - right wing buffoons are currently abusing a lovely PhD student for passing her viva. Literature is apparently irrelevant nonsense. Vile comments she has had to report to the police. Way to go Elon (and your band of idiots)😡

Amazing night at Jo Whitley’s 90s Anthems!! I’ve not danced like that for YEARS! Everything hurts. Joyous 😄🫶🏻

Am LOVING Bad Sisters on Apple TV. Highly recommend 😄

Just in case you’re wondering… currently Twitter is a cesspit of a) bros defending Connor McGregor by being disgustingly misogynistic, and b) some American anti-trans psycho called Nancy being predictably vile.
November 23, 2024 at 12:30 PM
I admit it!!! I’m still on Twitter. I can’t seem to prize my eyes away from the car crash across the pond. There’s a new character called Nancy who is insane!
November 22, 2024 at 8:04 PM
Opened Twitter this morning. Instant regret as I scrolled through one of the most misogynistic threads I’ve ever seen. I’m out. Deleting tonight. Bluer skys are here 😄

Tabby cat (Cersei, Queen of the 7 Kingdoms) has literally bitten a chunk out of her sister Nyx (black cat) resulting in a bald spot the size of a two pence piece. I don’t think she’s even sorry. Living up to her evil reputation. Pictured in calmer times…

Double Y10 with Animal Farm yesterday. I wonder if they spotted real world parallels? 🤔 Readers… they did. Love my job.

I am a movie buff. I like to think I’ve watched all the great ones. But how the heck did I miss Labor Day (with the divine Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin)??? I’m literally bawling 😭 What a beautiful love story 🫶🏻
