Tea in reach, book in hand: the best sort of nap trapped situation to be in 💤 📚 🤓

Cordelia Cooper @missc-ht84.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

Traitors scheduling has gone awry. Was so proud to have sorted bedtime, dinner etc and be sat on the sofa ready for 9pm last night. Ep 2 has been and gone at 8? And it’s on this evening now? Saturday? At 745? Since when? I feel like changes to the traitors schedule need some sort of PSA 😆

Happy back-to-school month one and all…September, going on Christmas?!? 🎄Oooookay!

As I “officially” come to the end of mat leave, time for a duo of new profile pics: 1) One of my fave baby events (yes, in part down to the neon slogan in the background!) 🤭 2) The perfect way to spend the final few (child free!) days of my mat leave! 💅 Monday: back to it! 🙌 #BabySky #EduSky

This looks like SUCH a stunning and moving book. *Adds to the Waterstones basket…*

Ha ha ha…this. And spare a thought for me returning to work after my maternity leave, to this fun and games! 🤦‍♀️

…and just like that, I’m back at work and my son has joined the rat race 😆 He had a great day though (phew!) and we are definitely all enjoying extra bedtime cuddles this eve! 🥰

Today my son had his first nap at Nursery + I had the privilege of joining the nap room for the last 15 mins. What a joy to be in a room of (I didn’t count, but maybe 8?) babies, all sleeping soundly, being ably supported by the nursery staff, who are quite frankly, angels + miracle workers!

Cordelia Cooper @missc-ht84.bsky.social · 08/05/2025

As my son starts his settling in sessions at Nursery his week, it’s safe to say he’s beginning to look less like a baby and more and more like a little boy…G’ah! 🥹

Another book recommendation from my holibobs - in amongst all the Daniel Hurst thrillers on the kindle - this book was something else…and the last page? Well I must have read that a good few times. Tough, but important reading. Highly recommend. #BookSky 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Cordelia Cooper @missc-ht84.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

A bit denser than my usual sort of read (and v. history heavy) but interesting and exceptionally gripping nevertheless. May have to get Disney+ to catch the telly version too! #BookSky

After an amazing few weeks overseas, 🇨🇴 🇧🇴 🇵🇪 🇧🇷 🇺🇾 we are back on British soil. Return journey was a dream (night flight for the win, jet lag still a little wild!) and little man is currently settling in at nursery while I drink chai, eat cake + reflect on the most wonderful 9 months 🥹 😍 💝

1 week into our holiday - having THE most fab time, it’s been simply too busy to post! Flight was WILD (major sensory overload meant son simply did not sleep!) but the adventure at the other end is making it all the more worth while - we are all having the absolute bestest of times! 🙌

Cordelia Cooper @missc-ht84.bsky.social · 14/04/2025

An overnight stay at LHR can mean only one thing: first long haul flight in over 5 years, making our drink of choice seem only apt. Cheers peeps + happy hols to all our teacher folk friends 🍻 🤩 😘 (and wish us luck travelling long haul with the bubba too 😜)

The Split: end of Season 2 and start of Season 3, both phenomenal, if a touch triggering at times 😭 Well into Series 3 now. This is SUCH a fantastic TV discovery; I highly recommend 🌟

So tuckered out yesterday from a big old busy day of baby brunch (!), swimming + a LOT of walking (obvs) in the blooming beautiful sunshine (coat off, thank you very much), forgot to post the official PSA “Spring is in the air” pic (please be here to stay!!!) 🤞 ☀️

A lucky stone, a seashell + of course my flamingo 🦩 of hope, courtesy of @raesnape.bsky.social (the weekend before my first OFSTED inspection as Head, no less!) So, to the good teacher folk of Blue Sky, what are the ‘lucky’ items sitting on your desks or in your classrooms?!? 🍀

Politics + psychometrics. Rock + a hard place. A rompingly good read from @timleunig.bsky.social So glad that in the year’s “break” I’ll have had from headship, literally no progress in school inspection has been made. My school however? Ticking along just wonderfully, thank you very much 🙏

Cordelia Cooper @missc-ht84.bsky.social · 17/03/2025

I like this graph. 📈 A lot. (With two left handed parents, what are the chances of the little man being left handed? Even the swimming teacher has noticed a dominance towards his left side when “swimming”.) Interesting stuff!

Really welcome recognition from the Secretary of State that many of the challenges schools are currently facing can't be fixed within schools themselves, but need wider system reform. #ASCL2025

Had some very odd bad dreams / nightmares last night. Only now do I realise I had quite the smorgasbord of cheese last night. Cheese fuelled bad dreams? Who knew it was a real thing? But why?!? 🧀 😋 🧀 😋 🧀

My son has just woken after 8+ hours sleep. He’s always been a fairly good sleeper, but this is another level. And after a short but sweet feed, he’s fast asleep again! What. A. Win. (For now, anyhow 😆) Tonight could be a WHOLE other matter 🤪

Happy WBD to all those who celebrate…not being in a school for the first time in forever felt WEIRD. So of course, I had to dress my son up 🐛 …and then of course, I had to take him to a bookshop…and then of course, I had to buy us BOTH some books. You know how it is… #BookSky #MumSky

“Ooh, there’s warmth in that sun you know…” the phrase no doubt being uttered up and down the land on this wonderfully warm* Wednesday! ☀️ 😎 ☀️ *when I say warm, I probably mean sunny - but you all know what I mean, I’m sure! 😜

Yes, yes and yes - I was truly heartened when one of my fab teachers and subject leaders - totally unprompted - told an OFSTED inspector that *every* conversation in our school is a CPD conversation. 👩‍🏫 🗣️ 👨‍🏫 YES, YES and YES! 🙌

Thanks to the joy of Everyman’s Baby Club, I finally saw Bridget Jones - and oh my, was it everything I hoped for and more! The perfect sequel, while at the same time a superb throwback to all previous films, not to mention a soundtrack to boot! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 #FilmSky #MovieSky #MumSky

My breakie toast just popped up like proper cartoon style toaster toast. And no-one was there to see it! (I squealed like a baby I was so excited, I had no idea that toasters *actually* did this…but then I’m of the impatient sort that normally pops it before the timer goes.) 🍞

My drive this morning across SW London was all the better for being accompanied by Chesney Hawkes on R2 Piano Room. So much more to Chesney than just his uni club classic “One & Only” … I won’t deny shedding a little tear crossing Kew Bridge as he dedicated his new song Loud 🎶 to his mate Vic 💝
