The majority of today was spent celebrating the first birthday of two of our friends’ children. We had a lovely time in good company eating buffet and cake. What more could a Saturday hold?! That took up most of the day to be honest. The morning contained a couple of hours working on Heroes again […]
This has been a big day for news in the world of Formula One. Four big items of news have happened today: the 2014 F1 calendar has been released, a new Concorde Agreement has been signed, Pirelli will remain sole tyre supplier and there will be a change to the format of the weekends. Starting […]
Work today was good. Had my usual Thursday afternoon for planning, preparation and assessment time (PPA) after a Literacy lesson and a Numeracy lesson in the morning. Actually they had some frustrations attached to them, which a relatively trivial and I’ve pretty much covered before. This afternoon, I worked on my list of jobs that […]
Now, call me silly, but I’m not sure that the acronym RASH is the best for Relationship and Sexual Health Education… which is the now-preferred name for Sex Ed. The rationale behind that is to remove the emphasis from the sex bit – the thing that sends parents into panic mode (and almost understandably so) […]
I actually can’t think of much to write about tonight… I have taught, I have relaxed (lots of TV), I have found a cache (GC4K0A9) and written a bit of music. It’s been a long old day really. I did notice, however, that the update yesterday from my phone was password protected. I have removed […]

I’ve only just noticed that – 100 days left in this project and therefore the year. The first 100 posts flew by as well. Today has mostly been spent in front of the laptop working, preparing things for the week ahead. I also realised that I had one more document to make from the data […]
Today I completed the task that I’ve been procrastinating over for months – and only mentioned on here in passing. It was a maths data analysis. Dull and boring. But necessary. And almost, nearly, possibly interesting. That took much of the morning. And then I realised, upon reaching the final page – and this really […]
This is being written on day 264. Many things prevented me from blogging last night, iOS7 being the main one – the computer in the cellar is horribly slow at the moment. I need to spend some time decluttering it and making a viable working machine again. I didn’t put my laptop on at all […]
