Spanish Grand Prix 2013: Race
Felipe Massa will receive a three-place grid penalty for the Spanish Grand Prix for impeding Mark Webber in the second part of qualifying yesterday. Esteban Gutierrez gets the same punishment for blocking Kimi Raikkonen earlier in the session. The starting grid for today’s race therefore looks like this (drivers with penalties in italics): Nico Rosberg, Mercedes […]

Day 131: Traffic Irritation
The majority of today was spent getting ready or playing at Golcar Lily Day with Grange Moor Band. After a late get up, I watched the first two sessions of qualifying. In between parts two and three, we set off on the epic journey to Golcar – a more remote place you cannot find within […]

Spanish Grand Prix 2013: Qualifying
This is going to be a strange post to write. I’ll end up watching sessions 1 and 2 live, but a Grange Moor Band job will mean that I have to miss Q1 live and watch that on replay afterwards. After 4 rounds, it’s probably time to look at the qualifying battle so far in […]

Day 130: A Spreadsheet Was Completed
Today I finally finished work on a spreadsheet of jobs for the TES. February 14th was the date the list was created, so some 105 days later the thing is finally ready to be sent back to them. The job involved locating, downloading, reviewing, and recategorising, 952 resources on their website. These were ones they […]

Day 129: All About 129
129 is a fabulous number. It is one of my favourites. For a start, it is the sum of the first ten prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29. I know this because the sum of the first nine is 100 – a fact that not many people know I would […]

Day 128: The Unimpressive Moon Landing
Today at work was good overall. We have constant issues with ICT over in our little hut, and teaching it is always a little daunting. However, opening one file from the shared server on each of 22 laptops really shouldn’t have been the utter chore it turned out to be. The task I had given […]

Day 127: A Short Update.
Back to school today after an extended bank holiday break. A usual Tuesday, with double maths. Loved it. Nothing of interest though actually happened. So, very little to write about. The final push to next week’s SATs is well under way. I’m not really worried about them right now, I feel confident that my group […]

Day 126: A Bank Holiday Work Day
I’ve done a fair bit today. Began with a list of jobs to get through and succeeded in all but 4 of them. As a result, I have nothing whatsoever to write about. I just want to point you in the direction of the Geocaching Statistics page which has appeared in the drop down menu. […]

Day 125: Geocaching For Sherbet Fountains
Today we went for a geocaching walk. Mrs Pitts caught the sun a bit… she is currently lobsterfied next to me. Here are the caches we found: GC2E1RY: Mr Beeching Takes Rothwell. This was a little tricky, but mainly because we hadn’t been there before and there were a range of different paths. Beginning a […]
