We're reading Orion's Lost as our family bedtime story. (Feeling quite smug as it was my choice and they're loving it).
My voice actress wife is jealous of whoever got the chance to record the audiobook and she says her new life ambition is to play Ship in the film version...

Looking for something to distract you from the fact that it's the last day of the break?
Got a spare 30 mins?
Take a listen to this podcast that my wife is in - sharing an insight into the world of voiceover acting.

I haven't been able to keep up with the demands of #NoShelfControl lately.
Other commitments have meant that finding the time to create it has been a challenge.
I don't want to stop the newsletter, but I want to make it manageable.

or termly - 3 a year?

This Month's #NoShelfControl
April 13, 2025 at 8:01 AM
I ate lunch with a boy in my class yesterday.
He was eating a Peperami and decided to sing a song about how much he loves them. Unfortunately he mispronounced as Peroni.

🎵I love Peroni! Peroni,peroni, Peroni!🎵

I might sing it in the pub tomorrow

My wife goes into hospitals and makes ill children smile.
So...
When I was stuck in traffic and bored today, I noticed her "Sweep" puppet on the passenger seat.

I decided to entertain myself by making him wave to the cars passing us.

Sometimes it's the small things in life ...

Very embarrassed to be sharing this 22 days late, but this month has been taken over by WBD, my wife's birthday, OFSTED and marathon training....
Book of the month is the fabulous Jenny McLachlan

It's a little sickening being married to this talented beast!

So... World Book Day...
For some reason, one of the most controversial days in the school calendar.

Keep it simple - keep it about books & stories and you're winning...

*Monthly Begging Post*

This month I set myself 2 challenges...
1) Run everyday
2) Run 100km

I've managed both targets so therefore it's as good a time as any to remind you that I'm doing this all for charity...

Well I wasn't expecting to see this on my dog walk to this morning...

Dean's 40th Birthday Marathon for Chickenshed
Why I'm running As a child, we would always go to London for the marathon, it usually fell around my birthday and it became a little tradition. We'd go to London, watch the marathon and buy a present

Yesterday - fireworks at 12:40... These shit time keepers made me sleep downstairs with the frightened dog.

Tonight, it's half 10 on the 2nd of Jan why the F are people still fireworking(ours I'm using that as the verb)
