It was a Special Pencil Case. There were pencils marked 'HB' for Helping Bear, 'BB' for Brave Bear and a ruler for ruling lines for the words to walk on.
But Eeyore was saying, 'This writing business. Pencils and what-not. Over-rated, if you ask me.' ~A.A.Milne #WorldTeachersDay

Andy Burnham announced the official Digital ID scheme would be scrapped after millions saw the danger in "Digital Papers Please"
At the same time, related platform One Login has quietly expanded across 200+ government obligations and services - with more planned
We call for an immediate freeze on One Login pending independent review by the National Audit Office – meaning no further rollout or expansion until that review is complete, its findings have been addressed and safeguards are in place.

Nobody knew why he was going; nobody knew where he was going. But somehow or other everybody in the Forest felt that it was happening at last. Even Smallest-of-all, a friend-and-relation of Rabbit’s, told himself that Things were going to be Different. ~A.A.Milne #backtoschool

Well done to Wales! We should all follow their example!👏🏻👏🏻
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
While the Welsh Government has announced plans to introduce a law banning politicians from office for deliberate deception, no such law is currently in effect. A separate law regarding candidates lying during elections will not take effect until 2030. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… walesonline.co.uk/news/politics/…

Walking on twisty paths into distant hills, through waving grasses that shine gold in the last light of the sun. These are the tiny moments in life that can bring the biggest pleasure, for those who stop to look, to watch, to notice. I'm so glad I've been blessed with the gift of noticing. Thank you for following my account and allowing me to share these tiny moments with you, and for noticing them along with me.

Today we remember the 52 people who were killed, the people who were injured and affected, the heroes who helped and those who lost loved ones because of the terrible events twenty one years ago on the 7th of July 2005 in London.

Er … I note that the weather maps showing Britain burning to a crisp failed to mention the 2° - 9° heat island effect around data centres?
Shhh … Ed says covering the environment with solar farms and energy guzzling Data centres is helping to ‘save the planet’ 🤡

The more time you spend in Nature, the more she rewards you, I'm sure of it. Tiny riches beyond measure are slowly, quietly, revealed: the scent of grasses, a glimpse of a fledgeling thrush in a hedge, the colours of foxgloves and daisies spilling through gates. And winding paths that lead into the sunshine and the evening hills, all waiting for you.
