Now that I’m working on the final module of my MEd, I found myself wondering what advice I would offer myself if I could travel back to the start.
1. Nothing is more important than sleep and [...]
 Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: January 1st, 2013  Posted in: Life Tags for this post: Mr TLC | My Life. It’s been an eventful year – but I’m sure that’s true for everyone. Despite the normal good intentions, I’ve barely posted, so here’s a quick catch up on the big events:
Mr TLC was declared recovered and discharged from the hospital back in March. We celebrated by buying Mr TLC a new bike. His return [...]
 Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: December 30th, 2012  Posted in: Everything | Life Tags for this post: Grenoside | Mr TLC | My Life | Sheffield. Picture the scene: a real ale pub on the night that a convention/festival of morris dancers was in town. Those of us who thought we had the night off had received frantic phone calls and emergency taxis to get us to work. It was quite busy. Actually, it was insane, but in a cheerily joyous [...]
 Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: June 10th, 2012  Posted in: Life Tags for this post: Food | My Life. It’s not only the Queen who gets two birthdays, apparently very excited four year olds can do that too. Last weekend was the family do, with a kitten cake that turned out to be a mouse. This weekend a princess-themed children’s party had been planned. A princess theme? Blimey, I didn’t realise Granddaughter Mr [...]
 Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: April 9th, 2012  Posted in: Life Tags for this post: My Life. I woke up with a very sore knee today. Probable cause: too many hours sitting at my desk, something that was on the agenda again today. Hmm.
My solution was a spot of DIY. I pulled out the unused bookshelf that lurks under the bed, popped it on top of a couple of open drawers [...]

It seems such a short lifetime ago that I blogged on my teachery site about how good it was to get back to normal. Remind me, what exactly is normal anyway?
We started the half term [...]
 Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: October 25th, 2011  Posted in: Life Tags for this post: Mr TLC | My Life. 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, I [...]
 Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: August 25th, 2011  Posted in: Life Tags for this post: Mr TLC | My Life. 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 mountain [...]
 Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: July 20th, 2011  Posted in: Life Tags for this post: Mr TLC | My Life | The Job. 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 has [...]
 Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: June 4th, 2011  Posted in: Life Tags for this post: Food | My Life. 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 time. [...]

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!
