1/ Russian soldiers say they are facing a "catastrophic shortage" of fuel at the front lines due to Ukrainian drone strikes on refineries. Far less is available now, it's more expensive, and it's only being issued for vehicles owned by the army – excluding vast numbers in use. ⬇️

Ten Tors weekend, have been training our three teams since September. Such an iconic event. 400 teams of six, tackling 35, 45 or 55 miles over Dartmoor this weekend. Some pics from the start line at 0700 this morning.

My name has only cropped up as an issue a couple of times in my teaching career, including with my first PGCE placement mentor. However, it has not been the problem that some, including myself, thought it might be. Looking forward to listening Radio 4 Sunday. theconversation.com/my-surname-m...

My surname makes people laugh – so I turned it into a research communication tool
Having my surname is a daily trial, eliciting a range of responses from suppressed to open laughter and unsolicited comments.

Got round to re-registering the app, now that platelet donors can make appointments online again. Missed being able to do that, hopefully easier to keep closer to every four weeks now. #GiveBlood ❤️

Handy to have today’s news talking about PFAS. Lesson one for Yr 12 this morning includes the relative strengths of the carbon-halogen bonds in haloalkanes.

An extreme version of a flu recovery run yesterday. A tough 15 miles of Cornish coast path. A stunning route though. ☀️🌊 #EduRunners

Been listening to The Running Man audiobook ready for the new movie, which follows it more closely. Just put the TV on. 99 to Beat on ITV is the thin end of the wedge.

Trump is closing all four climate observatory stations in Alaska, Hawaii, American Samoa, and Antartica. Because you can't have high CO2 levels if you don't *measure* CO2 levels. roll_safe.gif

Second year of running the Sunset Half on Saturday evening. No sunset, damp and windy. Almost 400m of climb on the SW coast path. Seemingly endless drag along Perran Sands to the finish. 1st V50 male 🙂 #EduRunners
