Is anyone else still locked out of their office accounts after the ms issue yesterday? I can't get into mine at all

Since lockdown I've been doing 'virtual visits', zooming into schools across the UK and around the world to share my skills. Today, I'm working with a school up in Leeds. 👍 I'll make anything you want, with any age group. 🤩 If your school would be interested, get in touch. 😁 #edusky #art

My 8o is fascinated by Ancient Egyptian mythology and has been reading @louiestowell.bsky.social's Loki books. This has all combined together and now Evie wants to write a Loki-style book about Seth. Last night Evie designed the characters in the style of the Loki books.

Just finished Scuttler's Cove and loved it as much as I loved Withered Hill! Can't wait for the next folk horror by David Barnett.

Blasting music in the office to get me pumped up for live streaming author sessions to thousands of children across Liverpool. Paddling like a duck under the water. Let's hope I glide like a swan above!

I'm feeling inspired by all the amazing posts about the #ReadingRights summit. Thank you @frankcottrellboyce.bsky.social & @booktrust.bsky.social for championing children's reading - EVERY SINGLE CHILD CAN BE A READER, and should have access to all the lifelong, life-changing benefits of literacy!

I'm probably going to say this every week as a new episode goes live but seriously Chef and My Fridge is bonkers but brilliant! Definitely worth watching on Netflix

Absolute bargain found in a charity shop for £1 at the weekend. Brand new. None of the activities have been done. Gave it to my 8yo who is absolutely loving it- has already designed a character and is now making a map.

Absolutely loved Withered Hill by David Barnett. It's a folk horror that I'm going to be thinking about for some time.

Happy new year! RP to win a copy of 'Beyond the Secret Garden' by Darren Chetty & Karen Sands O’Connor. Trace how Black & racially minoritised characters have been represented in ‘the secret garden’ of British children’s literature from its earliest stages.

After loving Culinary Class Wars, I am so happy to have an episode of Chef and My Fridge to watch every week until April. It's totally bonkers but I love it. I really want to try all of the food!

CW for sexual abuse, assault and coercion. This is an upsetting and difficult read so be careful. Important to know though. Especially for teachers as The Graveyard Book, Coraline etc are often read in schools.

Watching Teen Titans Go! To The Movies. Watching them put pearls on Martha Wayne then pushing her and Batman's dad into Crime Alley then Robin giving a thumbs up is both brutal and hilarious.
