Our next stop on our journey around the back roads and byways of Britain was at a school field tucked away in Willaston. It was time to meet some charming folk.
Sadly we were a little late, having been delayed first by a Rose Queen’s parade and then by the need to pull in [...]

Way back in the time known as 2007, Mr TLC and I spent a few happy evenings in the televisual company of Mr Robbie Coltrane, as he wended his way from London to Glasgow via the nation’s B-roads.
Actually, the London to Glasgow business was a little misleading, since Robbie’s journey took him veering [...]

A comedy about a motley crew of wannabe jihadists – it doesn’t sound promising does it? But I’d heard good things about it and besides, it was mostly filmed in Sheffield and I’m always up for a bit of location-spotting. Last night we finally set off to see Chris Morris’ debut feature film, Four [...]

I seem to be turning into Nigella Lawson. How splendid.
It’s amazing what you can do with a bit of fondant icing and a cheap teaset
Happily no-longer-a-baby A’s birthday cake made it to Granddad D’s house (where the party is) without mishap. [...]

A lovely bit of stop-motion one-upmanship. Enjoy

I don’t really do Valentine’s Day. To say Mr TLC dislikes it would be putting it rather mildly, so to be honest, it’s just not worth the hassle.
I changed my mind today though, when Peter Rowlett tweeted a link to a Möbius Valentine’s card. (Yes, I am more than mildly obsessed with Möbius [...]

Does anyone actually laugh out loud when they type LOL? I wonder… I’m not laughing out loud, but I was earlier.
First LOL moment of the weekend was this: see more Lolcats and funny pictures
…but when I shared it with Mr TLC he didn’t even smile, he just looked kind of thoughtful.
“I’ve [...]

My quest for a wool shop turned out to be much easier than I thought. We celebrated the sudden disappearance of almost all the snow by going out for a walk, calling in at the aptly named Wool Baa at Hunters Bar.
Sometimes you just know you’ve found what you’re looking for. A warm [...]

The first time I spotted her, she was very curvaceous, but noticeably lacking something. I idly wondered if my neighbour was sculpting Ann Boleyn, but then I spotted him making the snowball that was destined to become her head.
Her consort appeared the next day. Not sure who added the cigarette, but I think [...]

Because everyone needs to know how to tell if your cat is plotting to kill you.

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!
