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 […]
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 […]
Tonight’s cache was another straightforward find containing three trackable items. I like moving them on – we have a few out there which we rely on people to shuffle from cache to cache – and we like to help others out too. Finding places to put them back out isn’t always easy. A lot of […]
The run down to the end of the school year has certainly flicked a switch in my way of thinking. Ten days left until the end of 2013 at work. Huge amounts to do. Each day is needing its own special timetabled approach in order to get everything done. I’ve spent a fair bit of […]
This Saturday has been a good one. It has mostly consisted of playing with Grange Moor in Honley and Kirkwood Hospice – the latter I was only a deliverer of Mrs Pitts, but it was nice to be there. We grabbed a cache just before playing in Honley. It had excellent camouflage on it which […]
I hadn’t planned for today to be quite as wimple as it turned out to be. The morning consisted of a rehearsal at church for our carol concert – an behemoth of an event that is taking forever to get through – only to be told half way through that I was being taken out […]
Tonight has been an unintentionally lazy evening. I can’t keep my eyes open. I get times like this every now and then, but Christmas is the worst possible time to feel exhausted all the time. Drained is not the word. Small naps are not good at my age. Still, plod on through the next two […]
