Really enjoying bouldering again regularly. Issue is that I haven’t worked out how to balance it with also going to the gym. Not the worst problem in the world though.

We want the naturally perfect relationship, but the ones that endure are renewed each morning.
Have this thought stuck in my head. Reminds me of my sister telling me to “never go to bed angry”, which is something I agree with, but struggle with.
The average age of teachers is 45,
I did not expect that.
My brother ands sister join us to talk about massages, food and walking through buildings.
education cannot rely solely on vocation. A profession as vital to society as this deserves a solid and sustainable contract. Otherwise, teaching risks becoming a job only for those willing to burn themselves out. That is hardly a model on which to build our future.
Have been thinking about this a lot, going nowhere with the thought but I’ve been thinking about it a lot.

Read this to our class today. So so so so good. Them experiencing it for the first time was awesome.
“AI developers haven’t figured out a way to train their models not to scheme. That’s because such training could actually teach the model how to scheme even better to avoid being detected.” (The same is true for children.)

The Zebra Sarasa Clip Gel Retractable pen is my favourite too. When I buy online I often get offered them for cheap at the checkout. Hence, I have loads everywhere, in all my bags.
At the end of every glass of wine a snapshot, nothing fancy, a face and a wall, 3 times.

Arsenal go behind, with a howler from the keep, again before coming back to put 5 past West Ham.
Side note: Elise asked if this was match from a long time ago because the stadium was so small!

Woke with a sore throat on Tuesday, that got a little worse Wednesday and Thursday. Sick enough to stop exercising but not sick enough not to work. By the end of the day I mostly fine, a little tired. Yesterday, starting to get better but over being this sick. Wishing my body would either give up or just get better!
I’m terrible for consuming something, a book, a tv programme or a film. Then looking up reviews online to see what other people think. Then letting those reviews cloud my own thought.
With that said, a lot of the criticisms of this book were that it takes so long for anything to be revealed. And they’d be right. But I loved it for that.

Bit of a rusty start but Arsenal have picked it up since.
First time building in a long time, and only the second time in the last 13 years. Yeah, I missed it a lot. Guess life got in the way. Obviously I’m looking to buy shoes and a chalk bag now.
the teacher-student relationship is linked not only to academic performance, but also to motivation, executive functions and self-control, emotions, classroom behaviour, well-being, and school engagement.

Yumo and I talk about his pillow and school orientation.
Elise and I talk about a few things including her student orientation day.
E woke up to give me a hug before I leave for work, then went back to bed. ❤️
Tomato soup hot pot on the last day before going back to work. It’s one of my favourites, the soup just reminds me of tomato soup growing up. Except we’re not using it to cook meat and vegetables.
Looked at the clock, it’s 9am. Happy Sunday!
All the coffee.
