Is it warm enough to sit out Steve?

He does you’re right. Could be a good shout. I heard him speak and I liked him. Would prefer a primary focus I think.

Does anyone have any books they’d recommend for new headteachers? I recommended Rae Snape’s great book but does anyone know of anything else?

'I slept in the Natural History Museum and one moment will stay with me forever' Dino Snores for grown-ups opens up the iconic Natural History Museum overnight

I did this in NHM a few years ago. It was super cool! Fully recommend and I bet the one for children is good too. I also did the one with children in British Museum which was ace. Not cheap but really great.

Just caught up with #potterythrowdown final. Any of them could have won. I think I would have chosen Angharrad but they were all good.

Crumbs, that went fast. You’re going to have an empty nest soon. Poor Claire. You’ll have to have J & E over more often.

First 2 episodes really good. I’d watch the first one before reading this review.

Clare Bucknell · At the National Gallery: Wright of Derby Like darkness, light at its most powerful could disorientate, overpower, blind the senses. Joseph Wright of Derby’s...

‘Joseph Wright of Derby’s contemporary viewers associated his night pieces with a kind of sublime unclarity, a glare or glitter that obscured as much as it illuminated.’

Clare Bucknell on the artist’s nocturne paintings.

Keir Starmer is right to consider the best options for the UK and not just jump when anyone says so. Especially when the one saying to jump is Trump

I wonder if a drone has hit Dubai Marina. Or whether it was just
debris from a successful interception.

If only loads of Dubai based accounts, including Isabel Oakeshott's, could tell me.

You were out of the house early. I am only just up. Off to cinema and lunch with Mum. Othello! Live from the stage.

I like that you can set it on Bluesky to only let you post photos when you have added the ALT. I usually read the ALT when people bother to do it as often it adds more detail.

I like your ALT. Thanks for doing that

Agree. No excuse for not doing that as I am sure he has an assistant to help him to be more inclusive.
