It’s seemed like a long time, but finally, the end is in sight.
Back in June, when his well and truly broken leg was pinned together, Mr TLC was told it would be 4-6 months before the frame could be removed – assuming everything went well. He had five months fixed in his head, [...]

Mr TLC starts to get mobile, including walking from the kitchen to the living room using only one crutch. Result. This momentous step forward marks Mr TLC’s return to being a maker of copious cups of tea.
Mr TLC’s latest x-ray shows signs of the bones starting to heal. Woohoo!
I conquer the paper [...]

Mr TLC is not a man to be outdone. Oh no.
Mr TLC obviously felt that Super Mum had not tested the services of the NHS rigorously enough, so he decided to take on a spot of testing himself.
It started with a bang, the sort of bang made by a man who [...]

It’s the start of June, which means that Mr TLC’s granddaughter is 3. Where does the time go? It also means that I get to play at baking birthday cakes. Actually, this year I get to do it twice – once for the family do, once for the kids’ party in a few days [...]

A glance at my sidebar indicates a rather quiet May. A glance at my life indicates quite the opposite, the last month has been somewhat eventful.
It started quietly enough. In fact, in a nice bit of temporal symmetry, the month both began and ended with school holidays. During the first one, I did [...]

I would like to dedicate this post to Oliver Letwin MP, who is putting in a strong performance in his bid for the title of Least Popular Man in Sheffield. Allegedly.

Plan A involved an offline sort of day. My priority for today: enjoying Mr TLC’s company.
But it’s important to recognise when a man is pining for his guitar.
Plans can be rewritten, so whilst Mr TLC strums for half an hour, here I am, wishing you a Merry Christmas.
Been a busy [...]

I wasn’t quite clear about what was going on to start with (not sure I’m much clearer now), but I saw a sign and lo, I did chuckle at it. Even if the ‘God hates figs’ placard was initially somewhat startling.
I’ve been chortling away at various other signs as images surfaced on the [...]

I’m not exactly renowned for my highly developed sense of time, even at the best of times.
Consequently there’s been a few issues over the years, especially when the clocks change, such as the time I got through all of Sunday without realising it was *that* day. The result was that I got [...]

January: Spot a brilliant present for Sister’s birthday. Order it immediately, even though her birthday isn’t until October.
August: Spot a birthday card featuring Spike Milligan’s splendid Fluffybum the Cat. We loved Badjelly the Witch as children; we adored Fluffybum. Buy the card immediately, even though Sister’s birthday isn’t until October.
Early October: Receive [...]

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!
