I have an associate who is doing research into the Scouse accent. She’s polite, house-trained and would like to speak to people who went through their schooling in Liverpool. If you fit the description and are interested then please let me know. RT’s welcome frankie

We then get to a couple of my all-time favourite tasks. I think of these as scavenger hunts. Lots of practising solving equations, while giving opportunities for deeper thinking and making connections. I love it if you gave them a go. Can you think of efficient strategies?

I find myself watching the German F1 coverage this afternoon. Wondered how my decades old A Level knowledge would fare, but I’m doing alright with phrases like „hier kommt das Mittelfeld“ and „boxenstop gemacht haben“ 😆

Don’t know who at McLaren genuinely thought Lando would let Oscar back through 😆 And that was totally inevitable from Max

5th Century Mathematician Zu Chongzhi named the famous fractional approximations of π: 22/7 = Yuelü (约率; "approximate ratio") 355/113 = Milü (密率; "close ratio") He also worked out 3.1415926 < π < 3.1415927 which wouldn’t be improved for 900 years! #HappyApproximatonToPiDay

Absolutely wild that some people still think “childless cat lady” is an insult rather than an absolute dream life goal 🤣 Meanwhile, doing absolutely fine thanks. I’ll let you know if my life choices ever make me “miserable” though. 😉🏖️

I know I say it every year, but I really love Spa! 🏎️🏁

gov.uk/government/new… A good move by the Government, but we need more support for organisations and individuals facing the racist hate on our streets we have seen over the past few days. Loud and clear we must say refugees are welcome here & stop demonising asylum seekers.

I was proud in my 30+ years of teaching and school leadership to work with many children and their families who’d fled persecution. They’d got away from some of the worst situations and most evil oppression imaginable. I was always proud to think they were now in a place of

After eleven years, it's time to update my London Underground concentric-circles-and-spokes map. Completely redrawn from centre to edges, it's so much better than before, and more geographically accurate than the official map.

Having a clear out because what else are the holidays for?! 😆 Just coming to terms with the fact that these shoes will have to go. (I just can’t do heels anymore and these require my feet to bend into some frankly quite unnatural shapes!)

It’s time to leave this place now, isn’t it? 😔

Lovely seeing the “actual” silent majority rock up.
