8 weeks into my new job, and this week marked being paid the *biggest* and most touching compliment in my life: “everything’s coming up Jane”. Taking the win of having a happy team working with me 🤩

Could be straight out of a Donna Tartt plot line.

Another Tindersticks fan here. I *think* I saw them in the mid 90s in a grotty pub in Norwich. But my memory is fading.

This is going to be the *BEST* teaching and learning soirée in Manchester next weekend. I’ve ironed my party frock, already! Looking forward to the science strand, and fan-girling around the place.
I previously got one of my books signed by Gethyn Jones. Maybe another one this year?

I’ve just had a look at the spec. RP3 states qualitative tests for carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. Don’t state which test specifically. Benedict’s, iodine, and Biuret are all named specifically.
Clear as mud 🤷🏻‍♀️

Delivered my first INSET CPD to my new department today regarding embedding vocabulary in our lessons. It landed well and I’m looking forward to seeing how the work we did today works in the classroom over the course of the week.

The Troy series of books by Lindsay Clarke. I think there are 3 or 4 of them. It’s many years since I read them.

My Dad wanted to drive the road train at his local zoo. So he applied for the job when he retired. He did that, zoo cleaning, and was Santa for a few years too.

Bikes! Tinkerable, repairable and a great way to get into group exercise with a sociable café stop mid-ride.

Not a fan of the split screen scrum and adverts on the ITV 6 Nations coverage.
