If you're already raging about the parade, whatever you do don't read P. Robinson's views on it. No idea why the Newsletter has sought his opinion, but honestly, what a load of predictable tripe.

It remains insane to me that we're watching the PSNI and Parades Commission entertain the prospect of sending riot police in because they refuse to admit they fucked up

Proud of my dad on Facebook, quoting scripture to explain why the oo must go another way and it is incumbent upon the clergy to tell them that this would be the correct, biblical course of action.

I've thought about Joe many times this week. As I clear out my classroom, I'll be giving lots of my books away. But his are coming home with me. One of the good guys. It was a better world with him in it. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Joe Harkness obituary

Writer, teacher and naturalist who explored the effects of the natural world on neurodivergency

I've just read that Joe Harkness has passed away. Incredibly sad, he was such a great voice and advocate for neurodivergence, mental health and nature. A remarkable conversation between him and Chris Packham on Springwatch many years ago stopped me in my tracks. Such courage.

Some of the flavour and randomness of old culture night is back. We'd a nice couple of hours, despite there being not a whole lot on. Unless it's all hidden somewhere.

Big lad has climbed a mountain of admin, to organise this year in Brittany, get the passport, sort the accommodation and turn up to class yesterday and today. He chose Breton as a subject and is taken aback to realise it's taught in French 😬. But he'll manage. Very proud of him. Allez!!

Back in January I volunteered to do a bit of gardening at @carnegieoldpark.bsky.social , and essentially volunteered my sister too. Life got in the way a bit so we took our time. But we've loved bringing these wooden planters #backtolife 🧵

I'm not sure how to feel about the nod of thanks a teenager on a very fast e bike gave me, as I stepped in to let him pass me on the Connswater greenway. My other options weren't great, but i suppose manners count for something.

Things I didnt realise ai would pollute: crochet patterns. At a family dinner tonight, my sister tells me she bought a pattern but then realised it didn't make sense, in terms of number of stitches (or sthg, she's the expert). Challenged the seller, turns out ai wrote the pattern.

I cant contain myself about the Fleadh in Belfast. So met my husband in town and we mooched about, pic is in the new Laverys in a derelict electric station. Next stop: St Anne's Cathedral, where the real magic happened.

Heading in later for the third night in a row, taking the teenagers this time. When I was their age, the hotel I worked at was destroyed by a car bomb and my friend who worked in a clothes shop had to check for incendiary devices amongst the jumpers, on a rota basis. It's utterly unrecognisable.
