The Perfect Day (in school and home): The Late Late Show with Ed Finch & Toby P-C

Perfect lessons, perfect topics, good moods, lots of positivity, the spontaneously good lesson, down a rabbit hole, a roast for lunch, no duties, no meetings, some praise from a pupil, parent or colleague; a child radiating joy or having a Eureka moment.
A swim in the sea, a walk on the coast, a live gig, cooking supper (a one pot) for friends; drinking wine and talking lots; laughter; a morning bath, breakfast or brunch in a local cafe, a chat with experts in an independent bookshop or second hand record shop, a live gig, a mosh with strangers, time with family.  No chores, no cleaning, no hanging out washing.  All that!
