Geraldine in real life, teaching languages in the North West. Education, bit of politics, some tennis, occasional pictures of my dog and worries about my kids, random stuff I think is funny. Limping to the end of February feeling ancient.

Thought (inspired by one of Vanessa’s callers today) - why, when some people who are out and about in England and hear another person speaking a language that is not English, do they instantly assume that person CAN’T speak English?

He's behind closed doors now so I'm twiddling my thumbs. Wish I'd brought some marking:)

May I add a Mum who wasn't mine? Joanna Foster will be missing for the first time this mother's day. Thank you. #Mums26

Here's my beef. The payback for being hardworking, reliable and capable is being given more shit to do. People who are perceived as less so are pretty much left in peace. 🍖

My dog, a ginger mutt, in the back seat of a car on a muddy towel. Contrary to appearances, he is the best dog there is.

Yr 10 heard a slightly abridged version of Jack's Pool. I wanted to show that whipping out your phone & reading was as valid as a book from the library. We had a mooch in the gallery too. Eva liked Jack very much. Robert said it was a bit disturbing. Thanks again.

@theniceman.bsky.social May I ask whether you have all your AI grammar experiments in one place? I was talking to my Hod about them today and would like to signpost him. Merci.

Imagine buying a book.

Now imagine buying a book from me.

Imagine how happy we'll both be.

I believe in you.
