Well today has been hard. There have been parts of today that I’ve hated: I’m not good at resting at the best of times, but I really couldn’t have been in front of a class today. My face is still swollen but the pain is manageable overall. I’ve taken fewer painkillers today and I do […]
This week at work has been a long but satisfying one. Plenty of good things have happened with the classes I teach – lots of lovely, wonderful moments. Nothing particularly that stands out but I’ve really enjoyed it. Tonight I had a little walk to reach my 10,000 steps for the fourth day in a […]
I have always been for more comfortable being a geek than a nerd. I don’t know why. I have often referred to myself at work as the resident geek – fixing technology and having people come up to me on a daily basis to “just come and have a look at this” has become an […]
The answer to this is very straightforward for me: I would always choose to avoid speaking to people wherever possible unless I feel comfortable around them. I absolutely detest phone calls. I positively avoid social contact if at all possible. Yet, I am putting my thoughts and views out to the world on this site […]
Believe it or not, I am still breathing. I had hoped that the 365 last year would make me want to blog more. It has achieved the exact opposite. The thing is, there were many times where I had incredibly little to write about. My job being what it is pretty much rules out most […]
OK… I’ve been writing this one for a while. Forgive my tardiness, I need to get back into blogging (sounds odd saying that after last year – I’ve enjoyed my break too much!) ———————————————————- This past week (yes, it was over a week ago I typed this), I had a birthday. I am 31. It […]
It’s been really nice not having to write something about every day, I’ll be honest. Having said that, my evening routine of writing before bed is missed and, now that I’ve had a little break from blogging after last year’s effort, I want to find a happy medium where I’m writing because I have things […]
Today has been a ridiculous day. I still can’t really account for a lot of the time to be honest. I got up relatively early with the plan to get my hair cut, but I was unsure when my local hair cuttery opened. Turns out I didn’t need to wash up to fill time as […]
A fabulous day. Spent it with our friends in Manchester. They made us a beautiful pork based lunch. Fabulous. Good company, good food and an attempt at a local cache. However the cache, GC3FZ0W wasn’t there – it hadn’t been found since October so we didn’t have much hope anyway – but it was worth […]
Yet another strange day. I almost expected it in a way. This week is looking pretty unusual in itself, for many reasons. I’m only in school today and tomorrow, have a course on Wednesday and school is closed on Thursday and Friday – Thursday for polling no reason now that polling has been cancelled, and Friday has […]
