Take Off!
My favourite part of any plane ride is take off. The exhilaration and adrenaline rush, coupled with that final feeling of actually ‘going’ to wherever it is, the build up is over and its time to sit back and relax. All the better if it’s a miserable day when I […]

A Few Irritating Things
‘You’ve Been Framed’ When people say “I’m not gonna lie….” (hmmm, do you normally lie!). A selfish person. Wind and rain at the same time (unless I’m indoors). When people eat with their mouth open. When people start crunching crisps before they close their mouth, so it echoes loudly across the […]

There’s Something About September
September signals the start of a new chapter in the year, ‘September’ just doesn’t sound very summery to me, so I tend to go straight into autumn mode. September signals the countdown to Christmas. Yes I know we’ve got bonfire night and some other events to get through first, but […]

Time For A Cuppa
Watched Bridget Jones’ Baby the other night – I didn’t realise Bridget was being played by the same actress, her face looks completely different in the film – is that prosthetics, age or surgery?? I saw a man walking down the street with his dog the other day, the dog abruptly […]

Time For A Cuppa’

A few Realisations and Self-Reminders
Sometimes I just have to remind myself that not everyone sees the world like I do, they don’t share my views, uphold my values or care about the things I care about, and that’s ok. Financial independence isn’t purely about how much money you have, but how wise and forward […]

Should Schools Put Tracking Devices in Students’ ID Cards?
In response to an old New York Times article: http://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/10/09/should-schools-put-tracking-devices-in-students-i-d-cards/ Although this article isn’t about UK schools, it’s still worth pondering on.

Youth workers, social workers, education […]
