A simple little thing stuck to a bench.<\/p>\n<p>I had the morning out of class, similarly to last Tuesday. This again was to work with colleagues about maths and make final preparations for tomorrow night&#8217;s meeting. That is something I&#8217;m really not looking forward to. Still, lots of work has gone into it so what could possibly go wrong?! We shall see.<\/p>\n<p>Other than that, work was fairly uneventful. During the Numeracy Booster session I discovered that it&#8217;s much easier to be a millionaire when thinking in Yen, and that my small group of Year 6s are coming along nicely with their mathematical thinking.<\/p>\n<p>This evening was a quiet one after a brief meeting of a governing sub-committee &#8211; the details of which I can&#8217;t share here, and, to be frank, you really wouldn&#8217;t want to read about it, such is the dullness of these things.<\/p>\n<p>As the title explains, there was nothing to blog about&#8230; very much like April 18th 1930 when\u00a0the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"BBC\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/BBC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">BBC<\/a> announced there was <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"No News\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/No_News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">no news<\/a>\u00a0during what should have been a 6:30pm radio news bulletin.\u00a0A BBC presenter announced &#8220;Good evening. Today is <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Good Friday\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Good_Friday\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Good Friday<\/a>. There is no news.&#8221; It had been apparently judged that nothing newsworthy had happened.\u00a0Piano music was then played instead of the current affairs update for a couple of minutes, before normal scheduling resumed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/nonewsBIG.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2140\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wordpress\/nonewsbig\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/nonewsBIG.jpg?fit=630%2C346&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"630,346\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"No News\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/nonewsBIG.jpg?fit=630%2C346&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2140\" alt=\"No News\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/nonewsBIG.jpg?resize=630%2C346\" width=\"630\" height=\"346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/nonewsBIG.jpg?w=630&amp;ssl=1 630w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/nonewsBIG.jpg?resize=300%2C165&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and hello Emma!<\/p>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/?px\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"border: none; float: right;\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_e.png?w=1165\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Harrumph.
