I think I was the only person in the UK who enjoyed Eldorado... I was a student, there wasn't much else on telly in the evening.

Is it me or is ITV’s coverage of the World Cup the worst thing on television since the ill-fated 1990s soap, ‘Eldorado’?

Forgotten what a great film Chaplin is, Robert Downey Jr is absolute genius.

Well, I've had a pleasant evening playing guitar to myself and avoiding the football ☺️

Feel much better for a shower. Tried to meditate, failed, but at least I tried. Am definitely feeling better for my healthy drive ☺️

Magic eraser on some smudges on the wall from mum's bloody walking stick, was dubious but it's come up a treat 😍

That's the triffid around the front door cut back. I like climbing through a forest to get in - like an extra layer of defence - but I suspect normal people do not...

One of my favourite plays, must have seen about four different productions over the years, but it was the one I saw at the Taliesin Theatre on a jaunt from school as a kid that got me hooked.
The real Doctor Faustus - an article I wrote for Historia about the mystical figure of Doctor Faustus, a (short-lived) character in A Pact with the Devil.
Now only #99p @SharpeBooks #histfic

I think 90% of teaching issues would be solved by smaller class sizes, rather than expensive AI gimmicks.

There is a lot of excitement at the moment about using AI to personalise learning resources, but I am not convinced.
Yes, it is true many students are interested in Taylor Swift & Lionel Messi more than electricity, algebra or verbs.
That does not mean we can teach electricity, algebra and verbs through the medium of Swift & Messi.

Not even 9pm and I can barely keep my eyes open, problem is I'll be wide awake by 11.

Waiting for the Amazon delivery to come has to be somewhere in the seven levels of purgatory.

The obligatory author poses with new book shot. I'd like to say I was thinking deep and important thoughts about the nature of sexuality across the millenia. I suspect I was wondering what to cook for dinner.
