That’s a really weird way of spelling “parents with the flexibility to WFH can keep sick kids home when they need to without having to take time off work themselves.”

This novel is utterly brilliant. So enjoyable. I have torn through its almost 500 pages since starting it at the weekend. I want more of Dave. It made me laugh, smile, cry, reminisce, and think. 📚

I have felt absolutely miserable all day with a bad cold. But the chickens needed feeding and so I had to visit them in the pouring rain. The rainbow cheered me up. 🌧️ 🤧 🌈 🌱

This novel is a thing of absolute beauty. I cannot recommend it enough. It is superb. The setting of London and life at Uni in Edinburgh was an initial pull and I also really enjoyed his memoir ‘The Return: Fathers, Sons and the Land in Between’. 📖 📚

Things have felt a bit heavy in recent days. So I have cancelled things & reorganised/reprioritised other things. A bit of space, some boundaries, cooking, gardening, & coffee w friends have all made a huge difference today. ☀️ 🌱

One of the reasons I was so opposed to Rwanda is that it would be a really bad idea to start normalising deporting people (asylum seekers are not citizens but it's not that big a jump...)

Nick Ferrari on @lbc.co.uk just called Tim Montgomerie from Reform "Timmo". Timmo then called Tommy Robinson a "rough diamond". Just two guys shooting the breeze. Will be the same when Farage swings by the show tomorrow... Rancid.

This is commonplace for teaching assistant jobs. Schools haven't been properly compensated for rises in minimum wage and pensions for this group of staff. Particularly problematic for special schools who need a lot of assistants (and for the staff of course).

This novel was totally mad, dark, and unexpectedly funny. Recommend. A much needed short read after my last read was hard work and ultimately unrewarding.

This afternoon I was in the company of ten other adoptive parents while our kids (8-17yo) were taking part in a project next door. I haven’t laughed so hard or felt so heard and understood in a very long time. Feeling refreshed and topped up.
