Up at silly o’clock again today, planning to set out super early to get to school on time. Then a phone call, good news. No, not a snow day. (I’ve never had a snow day as a teacher, a few snow afternoons, but even they are rare, despite what you see on the news.) [...]

Not quite what I was expecting given the dire forecast. Checked the BBC weather site which informed me it was snowing. Hmm. Turned to Ben Marsh’s Twitter powered #uksnow map which showed the [...] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: December 23rd, 2009 Posted in: Everything Tags for this post: #movemeon | Books | The Job. One comment so far - more welcome!One of the best things about being on holiday is actually having time to read. I read all the time, but not in the same way; usually it’s a case of 20-30 minutes at a time, which is still enjoyable, but not quite as satisfying as being able to read for as long as [...] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: December 17th, 2009 Posted in: Life Tags for this post: My Life | The Job. One comment so far - more welcome!‘Hi Miss, are we doing something fun today?’ ‘Absolutely, we’re doing this nice past exam paper. What could be more fun than that?’ I’m not really a Scrooge, the last day of term is usually a little light-hearted, but my Y10 group have a GCSE maths module exam less than three weeks into next [...] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: December 9th, 2009 Posted in: Life Tags for this post: My Life | Random Musings | The Job. 6 comments - more welcome!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 [...] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: November 18th, 2009 Posted in: Life Tags for this post: Mr TLC | My Life | Spurious lists | The Job. Leave a commentIt’s not been a bad day, there have been many good points. But it appears that I have not exactly been on the case: I arrive at school and discover that I am wearing dark blue striped trousers and a black jacket. This is not exactly what I had in mind.(Mind you, it’s nothing [...] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: August 9th, 2009 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: France | Mr TLC | My Life | Random Musings | The Job. One comment so far - more welcome!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?

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.

One comment so far - more welcome!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.
