My Paddy had to be put to sleep today. I can hardly believe it, it was so sudden. He was only 11, and best and most beautiful boy in the world.

“Do not bend your neck for that which cuts necks.” A Sumerian proverb, as relevant today as it was thousands of years ago.

Photo of a fragment of a clay tablet shaped a bit like a diamond. Although it is only a fragment, the cuneiform text on it is well-preserved. There is a vertical line down the centre which indicates it once had at least two columns. The colour is reddish brown

My mum has been banned from shopping online at sainsbury's! They've won't say why - just that she's prohibited. Obviously an 81 yr old, housebound master criminal

Here! I saw Paddington 3 and despite the mixed reviews, I enjoyed it SO SO MUCH 🥳 SO much fun and sweetness. Not quite as good as Paddington 2 but that would be hard seeing as that is THE BEST FILM OF ALL TIME

An update for History teachers. The SQA says it *will* hold Understanding Standards webinars for Higher. There will be one in December and one in January (although they're still not showing on the website).
