Sometimes you just need a basket full of baby otters to make your day complete. Oh, look what I found! You can thank me later...
Short description: Four fluffy baby otters, including one named Steve, peek out of a woven wicker basket as a human hand gently steadies them.

Local Tesco currently unable to take contactless payments for some reason. Stern announcements over the in store PA, shoppers (including me) wandering around holding our phones with confused looks on our faces, desperately trying to remember what cash and cards look like

My approach (mid to upper primary) was a third of my class will have some form of ASN. How do I make my classroom accessible to the needs I’m most likely to see? Consider sensory needs & access to support materials to start. Most of those considerations were beneficial to the whole class.

Just a reminder that teaching is just a job! Go to work on time, leave on time and just leave work at work. Make work fit around your personal life, not the other way round. #EduSky #EduWell #Education #Teaching

Good morning welcome to Tippetty tap tap Thursday You don’t need to feel completely ready before you begin Sometimes courage is just taking one tiny tippity-tap-tap forward while your brain is still saying, “Are we SURE about this?” Teeny- tiny small steps still count.

Bear and rabbit are using a ouija board. A tint ghost appears above it. Rabbit says “OMG, a ghost!” Bear says “Aw, it’s so small” and the tiny ghost says “I used to be a mouse”

Ghost says: “it’s gonna rain” bat replies: I don’t have an umbrella. Ghost flattens out above bat, like an umbrella, as it begins to rain.

Night night sweet dreamies An anxious mind can turn a tiny “what if?” into a very big story. Tonight, try to remember: not every thought deserves to be believed, and not every worry needs solving before morning. Let your head be quiet for a while.

It's #buyastrangerabook day and here's an offer from @sarahalba.bsky.social Sarah is offering to buy someone a copy of Needfire by MK Hardy Check out the description and get in touch if you'd like a copy. UK only
Norah seeks a fresh start in the halls of Corrain House. What she finds are dark secrets that will haunt her every step. You are afraid of the border places.

You are afraid of the fork in the road. Fleeing her mistakes in Glasgow for a marriage of convenience, Norah Mackenzie's new home on an estate far in the north of Scotland is a chance for freedom, a fresh start. But in the dim corridors of Corrain House, something is very wrong.

Despite their warm correspondence, her distant, melancholic husband does not seem to know her. She is plagued by ghost ships on the sea, spectres at the corner of her eye, by winding, grasping roots. Her only possible companion, the housekeeper Agnes Gunn, is by turns unnerving and alluring, and harbours uncanny secrets of her own.

As the foundations crumble beneath her feet, Norah must uncover the truth about Corrain House, her husband, Agnes, and herself, if she is to find the freedom she has been chasing.
