My FitBit tells me I have walked 199.38km in February – a total of 269,660 steps. Now, in January, I walked 10 steps less – in two more days, taking 2016’s step count to 539,310. My distance has been boosted to 400.57km and, as in January, here’s how far I could have walked, if it […]
Today is the 29th February and I’m two months into this 366 question project. I’m quite liking it so far even though it is sometimes easier to write the blog post before writing the question! This is a rare one as I’m creating this post before the end of the day – I still have […]

Facebook, over the last few days, have developed their like button into additional emoticons to show love, anger and other things. (If I wasn’t writing this on my […]
It’s agonising! I have been asked to play for a band I know nothing about with minimal rehearsal time for the Yorkshire Brass Band Area Finals in just over a week’s time. Other commitments mean that I will only see the piece 3 or 4 times before performing it at the contest. In many ways, […]
Today was mostly spent helping out other people. The first day of a new, very short, half term is usually like that. Today, I: helped fix the photocopier unjammed the laminator fixed two smart board issues found a missing jigsaw piece taught three lessons (most of Monday is my PPA – planning, preparation and assessment […]
I know day 50 had the same question, but some more Formula One teams have released images of their new cars that use this great system.
