I never studied economics at school, so I sometimes feel a little bemused by the workings and terminology used. I have noticed a few things though:
When the price of oil goes up, the price of petrol goes up.
When the price of oil comes down, the price of petrol goes up.
When tax [...]

Apparently I’m moving. Ooh er.
The server that hosts this site is setting off on a short voyage to a new data centre later today, so I may be offline for a while – hopefully not for very long.

Things I am not good at: reviewing plays. I offer as evidence the fact that this is my fourth (or is it fifth?) attempt to write a simple post. Could. Do. Better.
Cancel the review then, I’ll simply tell you that Sheffield Theatre’s David Hare season is highly recommended. Having managed to miss [...]

I decided to allow the list of upgrades that had appeared for this blog.
This broke the blog. Grrr.
Oddly, the simple act of publishing this post seemed to fix the broken RSS feed problem. I’ll never understand feeds. Oh well, I don’t understand many things, just one more for the list!
Anyhoo, I [...]

Can you tell what it is yet?
With all the riches on offer during the recent Sheffield Doc/Fest, I could happily have moved into the Showroom Cinema for the duration, but alas, time and deadlines were against me, so I had to choose.
My choice proved to be a popular one. The promised appearance [...]

…Henderson’s Relish!
It is now officially the Vegetarian Society’s Best Store Cupboard Ingredient Winner. Quite right too.
“Everyone should have this gem in the cupboard, a Worcestershire style sauce without the anchovies, perfect to add to almost any savoury dish.”
It may have been better if I hadn’t mentioned to Mr TLC that [...]

Could I just mention how flipping fantastic Miss Masala’s chicken jhalfrezi and Madhur Jaffrey’s naan bread are? I can? Excellent.
I’d show you a photo, but I was too busy nomming to remember to take one.
The naan recipe made enough to feed me, Mr TLC and approx 5000 others, so we’re trying [...]

And you?

It is Monday and I am laughing.
This may be because I am mad.
Or it may be because I just stumbled across the latest gem of a video from OK Go!
Or it may be because OK Go! are mad.
Maybe all of the above are true. Whatever, enjoy [...]

The real three-legged cat
Welcome! Hi, I'm Lois Lindemann. Welcome to my blog!
This is where I blither on about life, the universe and everything - sometimes even three-legged cats.
I am: a resident of Sheffield (it's been my home town for more than 20 years), a Londoner, a teacher of maths and ICT and a student of French.
I like: cats, Sheffield, walking, doing the pub quiz, maths, cooking, reading, red wine, theatre, weekends in London, cycling, eating out, museums, gardening, going to the cinema, real ale, learning French and spending far too much time online. (My partner, Mr TLC, says this is making me sound like a lonely hearts ad. Oh well.)
Any opinions expressed in this blog are my own, I don't claim to speak for anyone else in education or outside of it. If you disagree, feel free to comment!
