296: How good is that half-term feeling?
After what has felt like the longest half term I’ve ever dragged myself through, the break is finally here. The evening was spent entertaining – or being enteretained – by a four year ol. Who told me that, for instance, Snow White lived with 10 elves. Clearly some mangling happened there! Lots of fun overall […]

295: What do you do on a day off?
Today has been a polling day for a new MP in Batley and Spen, meaning school is closed for voting. I have: cleaned the house, vacuumed the house, walked into town and voted, avoided BNP members while buying lunch, changed Kit’s litter tray, created some folders on my drive for work next half term, prepared some […]

Mercedes sealed their third consecutive Constructors’ Championship at the race with Lewis Hamilton’s […]

289: What have you done to be nice to someone today?
I think I’ve done a few things overall: I taught a colleague a few things on her laptop to make her life easier, I gave someone a laugh by introducing them to a book they had never seen before, I made a few children feel better who hadn’t succeeded in a lesson as much as […]

288: How far have you walked this year?
In a fit of complete madness, I’ve utterly forgotten to work out where I’ve got to in this monthly project – it is now the 13th October and I have yet to write this usual post. Anyway. here we go. My FitBit tells me I have walked 200.23km in September – a total of 109,417 steps. […]
