Today was full of banding. I conducted with the Morley And District Concert Band for two hours this afternoon, then played with Grange Moor this evening. The Christmas spirit is truly flowing now. I grabbed a cache while out in Leeds to fill the gap we had and continue towards our 175 day find aim. […]
The last day of school today for 2013. There was a lovely atmosphere around the place as people finally realised they were about to get time to relax a little. Last night I wrote about a quiz myself and Mrs Pitts were working on for today. It was extended by a TES user who had […]
I have only really been in a few minutes. Tonight has been spent baby sitting for friends while they gallivant around! It’s been a good evening with a 6 and 2 year old and Mrs Pitts. Fun really. Once they were asleep, I continued working on a Quiz Of The Year for school tomorrow that […]
Tired. My sleeping pattern is becoming more and more erratic. An hour or so ago I had just woken up from a deep sleep downstairs. Right now, wide awake and will be for a good while longer. This, of course, will impact on the rest of tomorrow as I will be tired through the day. […]
…haven’t I used that title before? Another day down at work. Plenty of lovely Christmassy things going on. All that’s needed now is some wintery weather. It’s all still a bit autumnal – an autumnal Christmas is a bit odd. A light frost on a morning isn’t doing it for me. Still, just three more […]
When I first started this 365 project, this blog had 329 posts since 2004. I’m clearly having to begin to think about what happens next with this site. I do not have the urge to continue writing every day. I will be glad when this is over – but only because I will have reached […]
Today was meant to be a day of organising things for the remaining five teaching days of 2013. That hasn’t happened. Spending yesterday doing very little has meant that today was spent catching up on jobs that have been a little neglected recently around the house. The small things seem to take forever at the […]
Today was spent conducting Morley And District Concert Band at Junction 32 in Castleford. The band sounded good. You would think that it would be busy given that today is the penultimate Saturday of the year before the Primary Gifting Period (Christmas) begins. However, it was surprisingly quiet all told. Still it flew by overall […]
This evening was Grange Moor‘s Christmas Concert. I missed my work do for it – I have a rule that whoever “books” me first will always win. Being in two bands means that there leads has to be compromise like that. As long as I’m fair and I think that way is. I began a […]
Mrs Pitts has had today off work with no voice. She still hasn’t got one, but is going to drag herself through the day tomorrow. I haven’t been the best of people to spend time with. If I haven’t been at work, or out, I’ve been asleep. I have got into such poor sleeping habits […]
