Belated What I Read In August. Highlights:
- "Your Inner Fish" by @neilshubin.bsky.social
- "The Blackhouse" by @authorpetermay.bsky.social
- "A Perfect Spy" - a reread, one of my favourite LeCarre
Not sure what to make of "On The Calculation Of Volume" but will read book 2

joys of getting older: spending the afternoon on the phone to sort out your holiday insurance so you don't up as a Daily Mail Sad Face person whose claim got turned down

Teaching things once is Not Enough. I know all the students I teach learn to read an analogue clock in primary but when they get to me they can't because they don't regularly use the skill after that. Same with swimming, one set of lessons in Year 4 is not gong to make a confident swimmer.

How is your school doing on teaching pupils life-saving swimming skills in the English curriculum?

Had to take @sirisaacnewtoncat.bsky.social to the vet this week as he was (very uncharacteristically) off his food. Vet couldn't find anything wrong and thinks he's stressed. Yes just look at the poor stressed animal who now gobbles down the special snowflake fancy cat food

Book lovers! I think some of you would love to support this in any way you can - Aine is trying to raise a relatively modest amount of money to get new books for a school library. She’s about half way to her target and it would be amazing to meet it with your help
Hi Alom, I finally got a fundraiser set up and approved by the school board (thanks for that wonderful idea btw) and here is the link below.

Really enjoying reading @neilshubin.bsky.social "Your Inner Fish" - evolutionary biology is fascinating and even better if there's lots of geology included. I've just discovered that teeth came before bones!

What I read/listened to in July, via @thestorygraph.com
Highlights:
- "Project Hail Mary" audiobook, loved it, highly recommend
- "Infinite Life" by @juleshoward.bsky.social - really interesting story of evolution of eggs - and now I know why mammals evolved to not lay them!

In a world that's never been more divided, it's been uplifting during the World Cup to see us all put our differences to one side and come together to celebrate something joyous.
