I’m not a massive gamer, but I have spent a lot of today relaxing and playing two games from my past: Sid Meier’s Railroads! and Sid Meier’s Pirates! Both are games that I have spent many hours playing on over the years, and when I recently rediscovered them on Steam, I had to get hold […]
Today was spent making preparations for placing a new puzzle cache out in the wild. This puzzle has been something that has invaded my brain for a while and I hope is going to live up to the difficulty we are presenting it as. I solved the puzzle in around two hours the other night, […]
The title… well it’s about a quiz on BBC Four. Some people call it Only Connect. Because that’s its name. A few days ago I posted about the Lazy Caterer’s Sequence and this was the answer to a question on the quiz. I knew it instantly because of writing for this blog. That’s rare that […]
Surely there are some days which don’t actually conform to the usual time space continuum. Today has felt at least 20% quicker then usual and, as a result, not a lot has got done. My Literacy lesson today, the beginning of a three week look at instructions and their features, was about playing card games […]
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 […]
Today a bit more work was done, along with 6 more geocaches taking us up to 924 finds (it also drags the required average to reach 1000 down to just above 5 a day now too…) I’m trying to recall exactly what I’ve done, but I can’t think. I’ve been solving a few puzzles, working […]
