Grange Moor Brass Band‘s new web site went ‘live’ (a horrible phrase) today. So far it has had over 200 visitors since the switch on at 12 o’clock. Links from Facebook and Twitter have helped boost that number too. After I have written this, I will be adding some photos to that site from this […]
It’s getting to that stage where nothing much is happening at school right now but plans are being made for Christmas time. We are planning a carol concert and work on the songs will take up time most days between now and the time they are performed. Still the outcome is worth it overall. I’m […]
Today was spent putting finishing touches to the Grange Moor Brass Band site. And I’ve done nothing else at all really. Lots of TV was watched while doing this, catching up on things on the Sky+ box from a long while ago. Dullness, I know. The adventure to get a cache was quite interesting. I […]
Then wait again. That sums up this evening, a Grange Moor Band job for the 41 Club section of the Round Table. Ten of us began the evening playing some simple but effective things. The plan was that we would play as a full band later in the evening. This last section took an age […]
12th August and today was the first calendar gap in our cache history for quite a while. The calendar is developing nicely after 893 caches found. I’m unsure whether we will reach our target of 1000 by the end of August. It seems quite far away with only 19 days left to hunt. Today’s cache […]
A long day today. The majority of the morning – because I’m lazy and didn’t get up – was taken up by playing at Kirkwood Hospice with Grange Moor Band. Some photos below. The performances went down well but it was unbelievably hot. Once home, I watched the German Grand Prix delayed – and managed […]
The majority of today was spent getting ready or playing at Golcar Lily Day with Grange Moor Band. After a late get up, I watched the first two sessions of qualifying. In between parts two and three, we set off on the epic journey to Golcar – a more remote place you cannot find within […]
Now then, 1963 was the year that Doctor Who was first broadcast. As I type this, I’m in my Doctor Who themed t-shirt of a knitted style TARDIS and Dalek. So, I quite like the programme. Today the BBC announced that David Bradley will play the first Doctor William Hartnell in a BBC drama about […]
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 […]
Back to work today. Not that it was a surprise to be, but it was a significant event. The place looked beautiful – icicles everywhere which were promptly knocked down. One, which I saved to share with my class was 40cm long and 6cm in diameter at the break off point. Both I and they […]
