Today we grabbed a quick cache in Bradford, by the Alhambra Theatre. A lovely way to fill a calendar gap. We only have two more gaps in December: tomorrow and the 29th. We are now up to 170 consecutive days with finds and we are still on track for 175 on New Year‘s Eve. The […]
What a lovely day today has been. It was spent alongside Mrs Pitts and her mum and dad (and Kit and Cappy, of course). The day began making bacon sandwiches – it’s not Christmas Day without bacon sandwiches. Mrs Pitts began preparation for the main cooking event. Once I had washed up from the bacon, […]
I have finally caught up on jobs and things. Almost. I have two more small things to organise before bed. Cappy has cleaner water. Kit has a clean litter tray. We have a tidy table – all my rubbish has been sorted out. My phone has been backed up. Our house has been vacuumed. All […]
I have no clue where the day has gone. Plenty of time has been spent with friends, which is what the holiday is all about. I need to be more focussed tomorrow as I have things to get on with – however, more trips to friends are on the cards already. The jobs will get […]
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 […]
…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 […]
As December begins, so does the countdown to the last section of this 365 project. I can hardly believe that 11 months have gone by. Today has been a whirlwind of Christmas preparations. We now have a tree in the house along with modest decorations: The rest of the day has been spent getting things […]
Today it was decided that the next few weeks are going to be Christmassed up to the max – tinsel everywhere, baubles hanging from whatever possible hook and lights flashing incessantly. It’s unavoidable in schools. It is relentless. Not always for the best as everything else gets swept aside, but it’s all fun. Tonight has […]
Another important lesson is being taught tomorrow. I need to make amends for producing something less than great last week. I think I am being reactive to the needs of my class, something I haven’t quite nailed in the past and that is one area I really need to show off tomorrow. Midweek lessons are […]
This is a little bit of a revelation for me. Forty days to go in 2013. 325 is the smallest number to be the sum of two squares in 3 different ways: 12 + 182 62 + 172 102 + 152 Today is another one that has absolutely flown by. As always, Thursdays are a half day of […]
