Nick Swarbrick 🌞

Thank you to @MaudieSwarbrick for the hat, which you passed to me in celebration on your completing the @ProstateUK marathon today!

@RoibeardOFainin Amazing GIF

Jn 6: 35 I am the bread of life, says the Lord; whoever comes to me will not hunger and whoever believes in me will not thirst.

@Rokewood The more I look in the mirror the more I find myself whistling the theme tune for “Out of Town.”

Isn’t it great to see #JeremyCorbyn back front-foot in the political fray on the great issues of our time?

@FrDidymus Yup

@visitnorthyork A bunch of people who have given up on X…

If you could sit here and chat for 1 hour with anyone, who would it be?

Sit next to me and spend a minute with a Skomer Island Puffin.... what could be better? 😍😊🐦❤️

@GaryWaddington Excellent thread 🧵

@CarlBovisNature Yup. Isle of May is a joy with all its little mooing clowns.

Puffin! 😀 Have you ever seen one in the flesh?🐦 #TheDailyPuffin

Are you ready to join #CompassionEdRevolution? Don't miss #PrimaryFutures podcast next Wed! @MrEFinch in conversation with @JonReidOBU about #SEND, #inclusion, #compassion in education and wellbeing .

@TheKnutbrowns @Mat_at_Brookes @clpe1 @neilphilipmyth @whatSFSaid There are some gems, way ahead of their time.

@Mat_at_Brookes @clpe1 @neilphilipmyth @nickswarb @whatSFSaid I just read my first Aidan Chambers, The Toll Bridge. It was brilliant. I’m going to read all of his novels.

Aidan Chambers must surely be one of our most brilliant contributers to the field of children's/youth literature & reading (along with Nancy Chambers of course) Best known for his Tell Me & The Reading Environment, Chambers continues to be a highly accomplished writer too.

@Rokewood but look at this!

@Rokewood It took me more than a while to feel anything like that, and the reform of education made it harder. But it doesn't mean I'm not glad that I voted how I did and will vote again #GE24

The night of May 1 1997 I declined invitations to party-in the expected Labour landslide &—for a reason—went instead to an all-night showing of the original Star Wars trilogy. When I came out to the dawn sunshine, & the 1st editions, Britain did feel like a new country #GE24

@notesfromspain I'm catastrophizing as I type.

My anxiety is sky high today. Worried something will go wrong and the Tories will somehow cling to power. I know that’s unlikely but I’m still on edge. Is it too early for a G&T? 👀😬

@FrDidymus You sure you just couldnt hear it, but is was there, just the same? #GoodOmens

I have to be up and doing for nine in the morning for the Liturgical Looking Glass (feat some Bach, some chant, and an exploration of "liturgical joy.") radiomariaengland.uk. No caffeine, alas.

@FrDidymus None of the above, I'm afraid.

@kirsteenMM I can.

If you are interested in early modern history like this tweet. I am trying to assess whether my posts are visible or not. Can you see this post?

@FrDidymus Indeed: one of my own children had her card grabbed off her by one of the party tellers in the last election, but at least she had the nous to complain.

@frankcottrell_b Hope and magic from Larkin???🙂

Thank you for all the messages of support and good cheer on my laureate news. Here's a bit of hope and magic from Philip Larkin for the day that's in it.

Never Forgive Never Forget On July 4th Vote them OUT #ToryWipeout2024 #ToriesOut722 #GeneralElection2024
