Flat lay done for tomorrow’s London Marathon. I’m running for @alzheimersresearchuk.org - my Dad has it and it’s been really hard the past 18 months watching him slip away. There are good days, there are bad days but future generations need hope…. www.justgiving.com/page/matthew...

As you know I’m running the London Marathon and The Race to The King Ultra (102km) this year in aid of Alzheimer’s Research UK. It’s a cause very close to my heart and it would be great to raise as much money as possible. www.justgiving.com/page/matthew...

It’s been a day of bumping into old colleagues - my deputy head from 20 years ago and a T&L coordinator from 10 years ago. Don’t seem to have aged - though retirement is suiting them. I think if you retire in your 50s as a teacher - you get some kind of rejuvenating powers. It’s making me think……..

In Twickenham for the rugby. Love game day - but the endless hawking from the half/half scarf sellers and dodgy hat floggers - give it up.

Don’t judge - but due to really busy few weeks ahead (no time at weekends) we cheered ourselves up by putting up the tree instead of heading out into Bert.

I am currently working on some philosophy units and this interview with Simon Critchley has challenged me. I was presenting philosophy as an academic pursuit divorced from public life. Its an issue I have addressed in our Yr7 unit on wisdom. #TeamRE youtu.be/lFKA680cM-U?...
