I’ve shown you the work of various graffiti artists in the past, but here’s a name you might not expect to see: Rolf Harris. His contribution to Sheffield’s urban galleries is a self-portrait painted on a wall in Brown Street. Not all of the artwork in the photo is Rolf’s [you can see [...]

What did you do on the 30th September 1989?
I bought a door. Nothing special, just a new door for my office – a replacement for the old one that was distinctly broken and didn’t really fit. I really wanted to buy a door for the bathroom as well – because it’s right next [...]

I seem to have taken a rather unexpectedly long real life break.
You know how these things go: you start a task, the type that has become known in our house as a Just Job. That’s as in “I’ll just fix those cracked floorboards.” Except the cracked floorboards turn out to be pieces of [...]

As we headed home I decided to call Mr TLC.
“Hello,” I said in my best spooky voice, “I’m calling you from the future.”
Well, France is an hour in front you know. Surely that’s the future?

Our final stop – and probably the highlight of our trip for most of the students – was the Eiffel Tower. I’d previously made it as far as the second level on a previous school trip, but insane crowds prevented us from ascending further on that particular ocasion. Well, it was 14th July.

Have you ever met someone you know or spotted anyone famous whilst you were on holiday? Not something I expected to happen to me in Paris, but whilst we were strolling through Montmartre I unexpectedly glimpsed a familiar face.
Hiding down a side street and smiling down at us was the unmistakeable grin of [...]

It’s amazing how long postcards takle to arrive isn’t it? It’s almost a month since I returned from my trip to Paris and it’s only just arrived. Amazing
A school trip may be hard work, but it’s also great fun! We started off with a visit to the Cite des Sciences et de [...]

We’ve been doing a lot of urban rambling lately. I love the fact that I live in the city, but I’m just a few minutes stroll away from views like this:
Yesterday we took advantage of some evening sunshine and set off to amble down some of the small lanes and paths.
We didn’t [...]

“It’s broken,” said Mr TLC, in a sad sort of voice.
I could see him holding three pieces, where previously there had been just the one. Undoubtedly the most successful present that I have ever given to Mr TLC, now used to the point that it has simply fallen apart. Might be time for [...]

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!
