You write your blog on an iPad instead. I have known for a while that my desktop PC was long past its best and needed urgent love and attention. Or nuking in favour of a newer model. However it has finally entered silicon heaven today I think, refusing to do much at all. Couple that […]
I’m not a massive Facebook user anymore. It has become something that I look at regularly but quickly leave again because I get frustrated with my feed. Facebook, over the last few days, have developed their like button into additional emoticons to show love, anger and other things. (If I wasn’t writing this on my […]
This holiday lark is becoming hard. But only because I’m beginning to start thinking about work again and probably a week too soon. The thing is, I’ve never really been very good at not having structure to my days – clearly work provides that. In fact a school day provides the perfect structure for me […]
The double century has been reached. Impressive work. Today was the last Friday at school. For some reason, Kirklees has decided we will break up on a Tuesday this year, so there are still two more work days to go. This has been a worrying trend in recent years, odd days being added on to […]
I’m still plodding on. I’ve written many times – mostly at these milestone numbers – that I cannot believe that I’m still going with this project. I really didn’t think I would be able to keep it up! It’s not always easy to sum up days, especially with my job, but I’m still enjoying writing. […]
Since we get snow days, it should be right that there are declared hot days when life is just too hot to work. Today was difficult overall. Every member of staff I spoke to reminded me how hot it was, but then moved on to discussing how lovely it would be if we were on […]
Half way through the year now. I’ve said it before but I really amazed that I’ve kept up blogging quite so far into the year. If I can make it this far, I can make it the whole way. Tonight’s cache, number 802, was a newish one in Gildersome. There have been loads published recently […]
I have to do something about this. The days are becoming silly. Yet another one has come and gone without much energy being spent and it’s all a bit too easy at the moment. Not that I’m complaining, it’s good that things are going well. However, I still have lots to get done and nothing […]
Yet another strange day. I almost expected it in a way. This week is looking pretty unusual in itself, for many reasons. I’m only in school today and tomorrow, have a course on Wednesday and school is closed on Thursday and Friday – Thursday for polling no reason now that polling has been cancelled, and Friday has […]
I refer to this blasted migraine which has dominated my week really. It is still hanging around my head – less obviously than a few days ago, but it’s still there. Today’s main effect was a struggle to read the chosen chapter of The Midnight Fox to my class; Mrs Kennedy, my teaching assistant, had […]
