Bird42 @bird42.bsky.social · 4hEdith Nesbit as in E. Nesbit as in The Railway Children? This makes perfect sense. I read a lot of her children’s books when I was little and they’re all, now I think about it, deeply gothic. 010
Bird42 @bird42.bsky.social · 16hYes. Zara has a full Jedi range. Or for £1600 we could go to work in Gucci looking like war time night nurses. 100
Bird42 @bird42.bsky.social · 16hI think you’re right. Is this finally the Time? Time we get Work Capes? 110
Bird42 @bird42.bsky.social · 16h@madeleinerich.bsky.social Snag have started doing capes. Alas, wool #itchynotmysterious 100
Bird42 @bird42.bsky.social · 16hI forgot to tell you I was in a talk for parents about The Evils Of Youth the other day and the majority of parents had never heard of buzzballs. We are so Fellow Kids 😂 110
Bird42 @bird42.bsky.social · 16hI had a chocolate brownie and remembered some leftover coffee ice cream in the freezer. Treat. 010
Bird42 @bird42.bsky.social · 09/10/2026What can I do tomorrow as a weekend treat that doesn’t sound exhausting or involve getting dressed up or is a long way from home? I need to feel like I’ve had a weekend. 110
Bird42 @bird42.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I haven’t made lunch. I can’t be bothered. I will be very hungry later. I will regret not making lunch. I will be annoyed at myself. And yet, I haven’t made lunch. 120
Bird42 @bird42.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I’m basically one step away from this guy and wailing “Am I a baaaad Deeeeean?”static.klipy.comUpset Dean PeltonALT: Upset Dean Pelton 010
Bird42 @bird42.bsky.social · 06/10/2026See also: children who move house and leave school, parents who visit and don’t apply for a place, staff on maternity leave… It’s not realistic but it feels real. 110
Bird42 @bird42.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Rejection sensitivity dysphoria is an absolute kicker when you’re in charge of an organisation. Every resignation triggers spiralling dread and crisis of confidence. 220
Bird42 @bird42.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Now everyone’s stopped telling me that Andor is the best thing to come out of Star Wars, I’m watching Andor. And it’s the best thing to come out of Star Wars. 141
Bird42 @bird42.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The judges are obviously fed up of sitting still at this point #strictly 000
Bird42 @bird42.bsky.social · 03/10/2026It’s pure joy! I find myself dropping in a lot because the atmosphere is so lovely. Productive chatter and kinds who would never usually find each other helping and sharing. I love it! 011
Bird42 @bird42.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Thank you so much for this tip! We’ve got a lunchtime crochet club at school (it’s side hustle is as an emotional wellbeing support for some of our vulnerable learners) and they go through yarn like nobody’s business! I’ve just bought them a huge bundle 😊 310
Bird42 @bird42.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Having a last go with the pizza oven before bedding the garden down for the winter. (It’s still warm, yes. But it’s also dark.) 060
Bird42 @bird42.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I’m having a cinnamon bun for breakfast because tomorrow is cinnamon bun day and you don’t want to go in unprepared. 041
Bird42 @bird42.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I’m entertained that all the #celebritytraitors refer to each other by their first name. Except Ross. They’re all calling him Ross Kemp. 083
Bird42 @bird42.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Today I started our first ever school newspaper. We had the important job of choosing a name for our paper. I’m sorry to say I rejected the suggestion “Earthquakes and Cars”. 020
Bird42 @bird42.bsky.social · 30/09/2026It’s “variety bags of small chocolate items” season. I’m not even pretending they’re for trick or treaters. Freddo, anyone? 170
Bird42 @bird42.bsky.social · 30/09/2026To be fair, it’s hard *not* to touch the berries. They get absolutely everyblinkingwhere. 010
Bird42 @bird42.bsky.social · 30/09/2026The person who brings cheese scones to anything is always my favourite person! 110
Bird42 @bird42.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Although, maybe a home grown silk trade is the solution to our school budget problems? 010
Bird42 @bird42.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Someone thought it would be cute to plant a Mulberry tree in our Early Years space. Visions of little cherubs singing “here we go round the Mulberry bush”? What actually happens is that children play in a mulch of bright purple mulberry berries and every carpet in the school makes the cleaners weep. 220
Bird42 @bird42.bsky.social · 29/09/2026 Voila! There’s regular babybel, the size of your palm, and then this beauty! 200
Bird42 @bird42.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Almost as mind blowing as seeing a full size Babybel for the first time. The size of your fist. 110
Bird42 @bird42.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Never got over being in the supermarket in Belgium and seeing Gems biscuits. Bags of un-iced gems. Yep. Just the bases. No icing blob. Like a bag of worst bits. 230
Bird42 @bird42.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I made treacle tart yesterday. I wish I had made it bigger. 1100
Bird42 @bird42.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Arrgh. Tiny jugs are top of the list of things my family don’t want me to buy more of. 100
Bird42 @bird42.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I’m deliberately not looking. Until Christmas. Then all bets are off. I bet the shop will smell of cinnamon then. 120
Bird42 @bird42.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I’m not sure how I didn’t buy a little bowl. I love little bowls. If the start selling tiny jugs, it’s all over for me. 110
Bird42 @bird42.bsky.social · 26/09/2026So annoying. It was even tastefully lit and smelled of fresh timber. It did have ‘best hotel’ vibes. I went to Wilko after and bought some hula hoops. 110
Bird42 @bird42.bsky.social · 26/09/2026True! The best I can do is my school Facebook page. Although… I have just started school newspaper. Maybe we can fill the jumblesale void?? 110
