It’s terrible when your diamond shoes are too tight, isn’t it?

I really don’t like the phrase ‘making memories’. Just live your life and the kid will remember what they remember. I remember my grandma accidentally making the ketchup explode but I remember almost nothing about family holidays at that age. It doesn’t have to be ‘special’.

Barcelona tomorrow. Just been to San Sebastián and have a v long train journey tomorrow. Luckily found a bookshop with English Lang novels or I’d be stuck! Going to different places on a longer holiday is good as a solo traveller. I’ve enjoyed it.

The @MuseoGuggenheim is amazing. I was there for hours! Was so excited that by chance there was an exhibition of Yoshitomo Nara’s work: have loved his work since early 2000s but never seen it in real life, until today! Some bonus photos here too.

On a train between Porto and Vigo so I’ve been following the opening ceremony via The Guardian and some commentary here. I have also been following my friend as a little dot on the Lakeland 100 tracker. The things you do to pass time.

Airport vegan sausage sandwich, coffee and Aperol spritz. There is a LOT of brown sauce on the sandwich. It’s the ONLY sauce. Ketchup 🚮

Did my leaving speech at school today- I was so nervous as I hate this kind of thing where everyone is watching you and you have to be funny. Anyway, I think it went alright! It all feels real now. I’m leaving 😬😰

This. Abusive men often seen as nice guys by those outside of the abuse. They are experts at this facçade. Sometimes you hardly believe it yourself and begin to question your thinking, despite evidence to the contrary. No need for this kind of angle.
Can we once and for all dispense with this tedious "But he always took the bins out and said hello" commentary, as if there was a contradiction here that needed explaining.
Violent men ARE "nice guys".
They're nice to everyone but the women they abuse. That's the whole point.

It’s come to that time in the school year where you are wearing shoes that have nearly worn out and tights with hole in the toe because there is no point buying new. 7 days left!

I bought myself a pair of Joanie pyjamas as a treat. I feel I might have suddenly got old, but these pyjamas are beyond lovely.

Imagine that you were kicked out of your office/ nice workplace so a man could have it whilst his was being upgraded. You’d complain, wouldn’t you? This is disgusting and more proof that Ineos do not care about the women’s team.
Manchester United’s women’s team will be moved into portable buildings at the club’s Carrington training complex this season to allow the men’s squad to use the women’s building while the men’s building is being revamped. Excl. story for @guardian_sport

I packed up the stuff I want to take with me from my classroom today. One box and a bag of fiction books that belong on my bookshelf at home. One box!! I arrived there 10 years ago with a car boot full of stuff.
I still have to do my desk in shared office but maybe a box there

Had a little sad moment with one of my Y11 today as she started crying and then I almost did. Great to see her grow in confidence the last two years. She also gave me some lovely flowers

Yawn. Believe it or not, there is more than one headteacher in the country. The same one always acting as ‘representative’ of educators by always being invited by media. She isn’t even to blame: they ask every time and she turns up.
"Why would you want to spend the money giving wealthy children free breakfast?"
Headteacher Katharine Birbalsingh asks what is Labour's thinking around free school meals and whether the policies have been thought through
