Been asked to present how I’m making use of extra lecture time, and I’m interested to see what others will say (maybe content bullshit).

Wish me luck, I’ll likely be breathing deep all day, heading to school on the bike with the youngest, then heading off to the day “offsite” with shitty #coffeechain. Best make the first one count
