Stop Sign Stickers
I have no idea what hippies have to do with this, apparently they tend to add things like [Stop] Eating Animals. To be honest, I’m not really aware of many hippies at all within the vicinity of Leeds....

Babies & Beards
Back in 1809 on this day (a month ago – I was never any good at anniversaries…), Charles Darwin was born. As you probably know, Darwin was the father of evolution… Plus he had a great beard. Speaking...

The Weather
I’m often in two minds about discussing the weather. For one thing, it’s so fleeting – one sunny moment in this country could be closely followed by a raging storm. For another, it’s deeply personal –...

Day 86: Almost There
Work. That was most of today. The evening involved a quick trip to Birstall to get a few things for our classes and people we work with for Easter as well as a couple of things for Kit. Since nothing...

Day 98: The Iron Lady
A nice little day overall. A few visitors came round today – things are gathering pace for Mrs Pitts’ birthday – all these people bringing stuff for Friday. Today saw the arrival of Emma too and the...

Day 119: A Bit Of An Odd Day
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...

Day 160: Still Waiting
You know the thing I was waiting for yesterday? I’m still waiting for it… annoying. As a result, I haven’t done half as much as I wanted, yet again. Still, a relaxing day is a good thing. We went out...

Day 231: Tired, But Happy Eggs
So… most of today has been spent asleep for some reason. Can’t quite keep awake! We attempted four caches today but only found three. That’s not a problem. Tomorrow we only intend to grab one. I...

Day 242: Snap.
Today has closely followed the pattern of yesterday. Migraine. That’s all I need to say. I’ve spent the majority of the day asleep in one place or another, either on the sofa or in bed. I did a little...

Day 245: First Day Back
Today was the first real day back in work. It consisted of meetings and preparation time. To be honest, it was a tiring day with huge amounts of work done. None of it was terribly interesting – it was...

Day 246: Work & Pain

Day 296: Firework Safety Lessons
Today was a normal day at school – although I was convinced it was Thursday for the majority of it (never a good things as I don’t teach Thursday afternoons…) The afternoon has been taken up with...

Day 326: JFK
Fifty years after his death, people are remembering where they were when it all happened. I was minus twenty and therefore have no clue. All over the radio – because that’s my main source of news as I...

Day 339: An Icon Passes

Day 342: A Clear Sunday Evening
The run down to the end of the school year has certainly flicked a switch in my way of thinking. Ten days left until the end of 2013 at work. Huge amounts to do. Each day is needing its own special...

Day 349: Nearly There…
Today was meant to be a day of organising things for the remaining five teaching days of 2013. That hasn’t happened. Spending yesterday doing very little has meant that today was spent catching up on...
