I’ve been busy working all day preparing for two observed lessons and trying to come up with 6 different e-safety plans that, ideally, don’t just involve making posters. I think I’ve done that and I think I’m ready for my head to come and watch me teach. I feel like I am prepared – with […]
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 […]
Mrs Pitts has had today off work with no voice. She still hasn’t got one, but is going to drag herself through the day tomorrow. I haven’t been the best of people to spend time with. If I haven’t been at work, or out, I’ve been asleep. I have got into such poor sleeping habits […]
Tonight’s cache was another straightforward find containing three trackable items. I like moving them on – we have a few out there which we rely on people to shuffle from cache to cache – and we like to help others out too. Finding places to put them back out isn’t always easy. A lot of […]
Today has flown by with nothing of any consequence actually happening. In the evening Mrs Pitts visited the dentist while I grabbed a cache in the dark. It’s quite disconcerting walking around on your own in the dark. However, nothing has happened to me yet. Mostly because I haven’t actually seen anyone else about while […]
Today was a trip across the country to Morecambe in aid of Mrs Pitts’ parent’s 40th wedding anniversary. They had made the trip to spend some time with my sister-in-law, known as Sister Flash (sometimes), and we had travelled along to surprise them for lunch at Slyne Lodge as they were unaware of our presence. […]
Most of today was spent in school, dithering over small decisions. Most of my classroom is back how I want it to be. Tables are ready with new pencils, whiteboard markers, rubbers, rulers and glue. My desk is tidier than it will ever be in the next year. Generally, it’s all starting to become a […]
I’ve been a little obsessive about caching lately – this target of reaching 1000 by the end of the month is weighing on my mind. It was beginning to slip out of our reach, but I think we’ve put things back into a manageable position now. Today we found 16 caches, the most we’ve done […]
Ha! I’ve wanted to get a title like that for ages… Firstly, we had a little plumbing incident this morning. Nothing too amazing, but it’s at least sorted. A slight leak from an outdoor pipe, that’s all. Luckily we had all these skilled plumbers come by to help us out, if you ever need help […]
We finished our trip to Chester today with a few caches further afield from the city to break up the journey home. To be honest, this was the first time away from Kit, our lovely cat, and we’d both missed her muchly. Mrs Pitts’ sister and her partner came to stay at our house while […]
