Quick introductory post: I teach English as a Second and Third language and Ethics to high schoolers in Germany. I also support students with Special Educational Needs and am a passionate advocate for accommodations for those who need them. I've been teaching for >20 years and still love it. #edusky
Buckwheat apple cake!
A friend is coming over today so I'm making focaccia and cake www.natashashome.com/buckwheat-ap...

My trouble at school is getting kids to use bullying in English instead of Mobbing!!
A business English class I was teaching was tickled to hear that Beamer is Aussie English for a BMW 🤣
I think the linguistic import has been assimilated. My Mum refuses to say cupcakes or frosting in favour of patty cakes and icing (which to me are a smaller, more modest treat) and I don't think the word "cookie" has crossed her lips out of the context of Sesame Street.
My older daughter is making brookies with two friends in our kitchen right now. It's so loud but so lovely 😍

I, too, have a perfectly organised sister. But she hates cooking!
My Babcia used to send us those beautiful picture ones. I still think the chocolate ones are sinfully decadent 🤣

A friend sent me a picture of a salami advent calendar. I wouldn't mind that, or one of the jam ones, but I usually just get myself one of the tea ones.
Wait, this was not automatic! The pump beeped, (slightly) waking A. It prompted her to put it in manual mode, which she did. C heard her moving around and went to check. She argued with him about manual mode (making me wonder if she was actually awake). Pump changed the time. C reset auto mode.
🤣 that's occasionally what happens.
I'll have to change my classroom clock when I go back after the autumn holiday.
I got up in the wee hours to check - the pod switched to manual mode, made the time change, and changed back to auto mode. The phone the Dexcom app is on updated automatically (but had restarted and unpaired in the meantime, so more time needed talking with tech support!!!).
#T1D peeps - Omnipod 5 and Dexcom G7 will automatically update to winter time, right? Libre 3 always did so I assume the new tech will as well...?
Enjoy! Love your jacket 😍
Mum sent me a FB post celebrating the rural doctor who diagnosed A (hooray for Dr Littlewood!) so I logged in to congratulate her.
While I was there I found the invitation to my 30 year high school reunion 😳 (shan't be going, obviously)
Good morning also to those trying to remember how to change the oven clock.
Good morning to everyone trying to explain Daylight Saving Time to their cat.
Dirty. How else could you automatically flip to your favourite recipe if it wasn't all water damaged and stained? You should write in them, too. (Mum gave me a clean copy of her cookbook when I moved out and I called her wailing about how it all tasted different and she fessed up to heavy edits.)
I only set reading for homework now. They can't get AI to do that for them and it has always been evident if they haven't done the reading.
Someone corrected me - looks like it's local staff so probably German...
And then people are criticised for eating processed food when fresh is soooo much more nutritious. People do the best they can with what they have. The problem is systemic, not individual.
The receiver is actually a phone with a SIM card (the diabetologist kept referring to it as a "Handy" - German for mobile phone - during the setup phase). So I *think* it will update automatically. I'm always up around 2-3 am to check on her in any case (see above re: dexcom app misbehaving) so 🤷🏻‍♂️
Thanks for the correction. One should wake up fully before posting.
Where we stayed in Gdańsk in summer last year was right near the shipyard. My Dziadek had a Solidarność poster on his wall in Australia and because of that it was the first international political movement I was conscious of.
