27: How do you celebrate a 33rd birthday?
Well, you go to work and have happy birthday sung at you by many children… I share my birthday with another teacher, amazingly – although there has been another child at school who had her birthday alongside ours too. I do like having my birthday at work, sharing the day with the children I work […]

26: What do you make for colleagues at work?
Well, it appears to have become a strange tradition that feeding up colleagues to celebrate a birthday is normal. I don’t understand it, but I have always taken part in it. I shall do again this year. For tomorrow, Mrs Pitts and I made Viennese fingers and double chocolate chunk brownies. This is this […]

Making Mrs Pitts’ Birthday Cake
A little while ago, Mrs Pitts informed me that she wanted a hedgehog shaped birthday cake this year. Now, I am not the best baker in the world, and have never made a cake for her. The ones she makes for me are often spectacular, as you can see below, so the expectations from her […]

Day 271: Two 1st Birthdays
The majority of today was spent celebrating the first birthday of two of our friends’ children. We had a lovely time in good company eating buffet and cake. What more could a Saturday hold?!

That’s not an easy thing to achieve for a messy thing like a goldfish, but with some careful management, we’ve done it. In other news, Mrs Pitts returned […]

Day 26: Baking, A Pizza & A Broken Whisk
Firstly, this is the last day of life in my twenties. Over the last ten years I have qualified as a teacher, worked as a teacher, become a Primary Mathematics Specialist Teacher, met Mrs Pitts, married Mrs Pitts, said goodbye to my Mum, moved into my first house, found 730 geocaches… and those are just […]

I’m not liking life at the moment…
This entry was originally part of a separate, personal blog. I’ve merged them together now to make life easier. All the dates that the entries were originally published and posted comments have been preserved. ——————————- Today has been a good day I guess. My lessons went well and I’m currently having the afternoon as Non-Contact […]

Time – I think it’s gone astray…
I’d love to say that I’ve been hugely busy, or that I’ve had lots of other massively important things to be doing instead of writing for here. But it wouldn’t be true. This month seems to have flown by without me really contributing much to it. Let’s see what I have actually achieved this June… […]
