As I sit and type this, MTV Xmas (Sky 355) is blasting out songs that only have a vague link with the festive season into our living room. It is happy for our lives. The evening has basically contained catching up on marking after some reading assessments and writing required completing. I still don’t feel […]
Yet another Saturday which felt to have roughly 13 hours missing from it. It has simply flown by and, as a result, I’ve only got a fraction of the jobs I needed to have got done, done. Three caches were attempted today, the first two being dead ends of unfindingness in unusually muddy places. The […]
Now, as always, this is the last thing I do before going up to bed. However, I have normally been changed out of my work clothes for a good long time before sitting down to write. Not so today. I have kept them on simply because there was no point getting changed. I walked in […]
Well, the lovely Val from Grange Moor tweaked my arrangement of Heroes this week. And while I was initially sceptical about her changes, it made the piece more playable for the group. It actually sounds like the song now. I would never have begun the project if it hadn’t been a specific request from an […]
Today I did a bit of work. I spent a few hours getting into some data… only to realise that I messed it up and had to start again. Still, some work was done. We also found 8 caches, well above average and helps to drive it down to just 5.125 caches needed per day […]
Tonight saw the wonderful event that is the school summer discos. Three of them. All made for a brilliantly warm room and children who were getting increasingly irritable. Still there were some good things about it – children are wonderful dancers, delightful to watch. The worst part of it were the three attempts at congas. […]
In case you weren’t aware, that thing that sometimes appears in the sky can get a bit hot. Right now, it is difficult to cope with. It’s not representative as it may have been in direct sunlight, but the weather station we have hit 42 degrees today… I’d probably take 12/13 off that. I spent […]
I’m missing some glue. If anyone knows where it is, let me know. Today has been a nice day, the only real full day of teaching I’m doing this week too. Not a huge amount to discuss about it though! Tonight, has been lovely too, a quick cache (number 793, GC3Q6RW), some music arranging for band, […]
The first day back at work was lovely in many ways. The morning with Year 6 worked very well, with lots going on and I can already see the potential for great things to happen over the next seven weeks. The afternoon with Year 5 was a different feel – I could certainly see that […]
The end of another week at work, and not long to go now until SATs. That’s quite scary – I counted earlier that I have 9 sessions left with my maths group before they tackle the papers. Next week is looking ridiculous. I’m on a course on Wednesday and we have two staff training days […]
