Today marks the third anniversary of finding our first geocache. I can remember it very well. It had been raining heavily and we ended up tramping around some fields in Gomersal. I also remember that I was covered in mud too… I loved every minute of it. I think we ended up finding 5 that […]
Well, that was interesting… the thing I expected to happen today didn’t happen. I was all prepared as well. Anyway, work was good today. Plenty of fabulous things going on, nothing amazing but good, solid work. The highlight of the evening was a special geocache, one that reminds us both of why we do this […]
Most of today was spent conducting the Morley And District Concert Band at a charity garden party in aid of Yorkshire Air Ambulance. Plenty of fun was had by all accounts and many nice things were said about the playing – even though a few things went awry in the middle… I think we got […]
The first day with a new class. A lovely one too. Nothing hugely interesting happened, I just enjoyed it. Love getting back into a routine… not that today fits any kind of teaching routine I’ve ever set up! I actually can’t wait to get back into the swing of things properly. Anyway, I’ve hurt my […]
Today was the first real day back in work. It consisted of meetings and preparation time. To be honest, it was a tiring day with huge amounts of work done. None of it was terribly interesting – it was all small jobs which make the class run smoothly. I do not feel ready to be […]
Yet another day that has flown by. I needed to go to Ikea for a few bits for my classroom, Mrs Pitts needed to go too. However, today was a bank holiday. I thought it would be awfully busy and didn’t really fancy going, however Mrs Pitts was convinced that since it was such a […]
Today we found twenty geocaches. I won’t go into them – it’s late and not very interesting – but they all help our numbers. Next Saturday is 1000 cache deadline day and the push today makes that target fingertip close. We have currently found 984 caches, leaving just 16 to grab in the next week. […]
No one made any effort on the homework. Disgraceful. Most of today was spent out caching or sitting around staying out of Mrs Pitts’ way. We only found two caches during the day, we attempted four. Tech Ricks Gifts is a series of 7 caches, mostly puzzles with unknown locations, each one leading to the […]
You know that feeling when you wish you’d never started something? Well, that. I’ll come back to that in a minute. Most of today was spent doing things for work. Lots of little jobs, but vital ones really – they needed doing at some point. I won’t bore you with the details. We completed one […]
So… most of today has been spent asleep for some reason. Can’t quite keep awake! We attempted four caches today but only found three. That’s not a problem. Tomorrow we only intend to grab one. I completed a bit of work today – maths planning. It will need a little tweaking between now and going […]
