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: May 27th, 2012  Posted in: The Universe Tags for this post: Random Musings. I was obviously a bit too quick off the mark when I tried to grab the link for a Dropbox file that hadn’t finished uploading.
Ask Dropbox to do the impossible and it responds by showing a very nice impossible Dropbox:
Like it. Now I want to design some [...]
 Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: March 24th, 2011  Posted in: Everything Tags for this post: Random Musings. 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 goes [...]
 Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: October 7th, 2010  Posted in: Life Tags for this post: My Life | Random Musings. I live on the dullest road in Sheffield. It’s lovely.
My road goes nowhere, so it’s quiet.
As far as I am aware, my neighbours are unlikely to attract the attentions of any passing paparazzo, so, as I said, it’s quiet.
Which leaves me wondering why I passed a camera crew at the top [...]
 Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: June 11th, 2010  Posted in: Life Tags for this post: My Life | Random Musings. It may be unpatriotic, it may even be treasonous, but I’m going to say it anyway: football bores me to tears.
I’ve no problem with other people liking it, nor do I mind the fact that almost everyone else in Eng-er-land has festooned their home/car/bicycle/cat with Eng-er-land flags, I just don’t really want to join [...]
 Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: January 9th, 2010  Posted in: Everything Tags for this post: Random Musings. I seem to have been the lucky recipient of an awful lot of SPAM comments over the last few weeks. Is there a lot more SPAM around lately? I certainly never saw this much when using Haloscan. I wonder why?
Interesting how many identical generic – but not quite appropriate – comments have turned up [...]

Meet Robohamster from ekai on Vimeo.
I’ve watched this several times now. Not entirely sure why, but it makes me LOL. Literally.
I’m also quite amazed at the level of technology that is obviously packed into this little toy: watch it change direction when it hits a corner. Clever stuff.
Will I [...]
 Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: December 27th, 2009  Posted in: Life Tags for this post: My Life | Random Musings | Reminiscing. I rediscovered a misplaced memory yesterday: I suddenly remembered how my grandparents used to carefully remove the ‘seal-oh-tape’ (as they always called it) from used wrapping paper. The paper was then folded carefully away to be reused – after all, as I was always told, it was still perfectly good. This paper might resurface wrapped [...]
 Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: December 24th, 2009  Posted in: Everything Tags for this post: Random Musings. Amazingly, 99% of my blog-move seems to have gone without a hitch.
My main worry was that I would put off the small band of lovely people who kept visiting the old place, despite having to put up with my haphazard posting schedule, but it seems that my concerns were unfounded. I’d like to thank [...]
 Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: December 9th, 2009  Posted in: Life Tags for this post: My Life | Random Musings | The Job. Oh my, I’ve been rather quiet here of late. Can I blame work, or shall I go straight for a plea of insanity?
Anyhoo, I haven’t evaporated/been kidnapped by aliens/fallen down a well. I am perfectly fine, just doing too much for my own good (as usual).
However, I am going to be making a [...]

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!
