It's finally done, I can't believe it. After months, I have finally plotted every single Atlantic hurricane landfall on record.
There are approximately 1,167 hurricane landfalls listed. This is so unreal to look at.

It’s results day - be kind to yourself if this is when you get your BTECs, T levels or A levels. You may surprise yourself - and even if you feel disappointed - there will be a way to your next chapter bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cje2…

Lovely unscripted moment this morning in the Welsh Parliament as a brilliant young choir from Ysgol Treganna in Cardiff - singing Safwn yn y Bwlch in rehearsal - bump into the Prime Minister (watch their reaction at the end 🎶)

I had a glorious surprise today. One of those thank yous that make a teacher’s day. A year 11 student, who was vocal in lessons, dropped off a lovely thank you card and cake. #teachergifts #teacherthankyous

Schools have admirably dealt with refugee children for years: Syria, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Hong Kong.
An influx of kids from private schools is not quite the challenge the Education Secretary seems to think it is!

A few years ago, I wrote two metacognition guides with @OUPSecondary
1) a guide for teachers with practical strategies for the classroom
2) a guide for students to support their revision and learning

Ministers have decided to scrap Now Teach - a route into teaching for high-flying career changes. In the middle of a recruitment crisis. My quote:

This is devastating news for the profession. I’ve been working with @NowTeachOrg for five years and know first-hand the quality and calibre of teachers it supports into a system that desperately needs them. How can the government have got this so wrong?

Today we are sharing the disappointing news that the DfE is no longer planning to fund a new Career Change Programme contract which Now Teach is currently responsible for delivering.
Without new funding Now Teach cannot recruit any more experienced people beyond this September

In the face of huge #TeacherShortages and with plans to increase teaching hours, @educationgovuk has axed funding for @NowTeachOrg, one of the few practical responses to the crisis.
@GillianKeegan needs to step in or acknowledge her dept has abandoned any long-term planning.

We turned 1,000 execs into teachers. Now our funding’s been scrapped

I too was given the Modern Sourdough book for my birthday this month. Made my first Margot today and very pleased with the result.

Was delighted but slightly intimidated to have been given Michelle Eskeri’s @margotbakery Modern Sourdough for my birthday. First 2 bakes have turned out brilliantly! The Margot and HX buns #ThankYou

I heard on the radio this morning that the M25 is closed in both directions (the first time they’ve done this) between Jnc 10&11 this wkend. It bought to mind my painting

This graphic is the most illuminating one of all: just 2% of movements on the M25 South West Quadrant are “through” ones, the other 98% turn on, off or both within it. A huge proportion are local movements, there because other road or rail/bus options are even worse!
15 Mar 2024
78% of the traffic on this bit of the M25 is traveling to or from somewhere fairly local.
Only 2% is staying on the M25 all the way without turning off.
