The last day of school today for 2013. There was a lovely atmosphere around the place as people finally realised they were about to get time to relax a little. Last night I wrote about a quiz myself and Mrs Pitts were working on for today. It was extended by a TES user who had […]
This morning began bright and early, on the nearby cycle path – a disused railway line which tears through Cleckheaton, known as the Greenway – with Mrs Pitts’ dad, a set of ladders and two geocaching friends (known as Lard & Pickle). Madness, clearly, but this is what we do for a hobby. This cache, […]
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 was spent doing two things I adore; making music and watching Formula 1. The Morlay & District Concert Band played at Dartmouth Park in Morley today. There was a cracking turn out – one band member’s dad counted 102 people listening – and the band played well. There was just one piece of the […]
Mrs Pitts spent most of the day with a friend. Which gave me an opportunity to complete a fair amount of smaller jobs for school that I needed to organise at some point anyway. I had Sky Sports F1 on in the background while all this was going on too meaning I watched all the […]
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 […]
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 […]
After Mrs Pitts’ trip to the dentist yesterday, most of today was spent making sure she has been ok. She is still a little dopey from drugs and trying to take care of her mouth – she needs more work doing in there. This morning involved a trip to the bottle bank, a quick cache […]
The majority of today was spent conducting. Admittedly that was only 4 hours, but add to the the hour either side of travelling, preparation and putting stuff away again, and you get most of the day gone. It was a good day. The band was playing at Junction 32 Retail Park to shoppers, and so […]
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 […]
