Today has been all about cleaning. I’ve cleaned the house (with Mrs Pitts) and begun cleaning the computer downstairs. That computer, and the job of sorting it out, has been something I’ve needed to do for absolutely ages now. I’ve made a start but it’s a huge job. The rest of the day was grabbing […]
What a busy, draining week. So much has happened at work that it’s been hard to keep up or summarise it all. We received the final Ofsted report, which reads very well overall and is fair. There was sports day, during which the sun shone upon my skin – my neck is ridiculously red. We […]
Today was a quick day at work, tying up loose ends before having the afternoon for PPA time and Friday for the Grand Prix – this is a long standing arrangement, miss a few PPAs in order to take a day out of class. This afternoon and evening, apart from band, has been hectic. Getting […]
As if having the daily blog and the Formula One stuff on here already wasn’t enough, I’ve decided to separate out the maths fact geekiness too so there may be more than one update a day depending on numbers… Today was a full day of not very much that took forever to do. It began […]
This morning saw the creation of another raised bed in our garden. This one was done in roughly two hours in the end. The Bahrain Grand Prix was possibly the best of the ten we’ve had there. A mix of tyre strategies and closer cars than normal saw to that. My report is here and the standings […]
So post 113, eh? Excellent. The additional posts come from the Formula One items I’ve been writing – if you care there are posts written during each race and qualifying so far this year. I’m utterly shooting myself in the foot doing that as I will be at Silverstone during those sessions and so anything […]
I’ve already published two blogs today about the Australian Grand Prix Qualifying and Race. They have taken up most of my words! That was the start of my day. After that, I had a short nap and began working. Like other days recently, I have been preparing maths assessments. I completed Year 5’s papers today […]
Well, the Australian Grand Prix Qualifying was a bit of a let down. Torrential rain first delayed it, then eventually stopped it after the first 20 minute session. There will be more about this in a separate post I began writing a long while ago. After this, I had a short nap upstairs again. The […]
After almost recovering from the disappointment of not becoming Pope, I was told this morning that I couldn’t take my PPA time this afternoon due to much illness in school. I – for the first time in a long time – feel good at the moment. So I’m owed an afternoon. This was particularly difficult, […]
Today is Dan Gurney‘s 80th birthday. Normally I wouldn’t blog about such an event. – but to me it is significant. Not only is Dan a key figure in motor racing history – after all, he is credited with being the first driver to wear a full face helmet and he was the first person to […]
