I’ve always secretly liked a certain type of rather trashy TV programme. You know the type, some hapless person/couple/family can’t live in/sell their house because basically they are drowning in filth/toot/assorted crap. What it takes to sort out this mysterious and unfathomable situation is for some overpaid highly skilled presenter to look around the [...]

So Phoenix is Twittering (allegedly). Is it a sign of advancing years that I find this slightly astonishing? And slightly unbelievable?

The cause: just one of those days.
The symptoms: knackered, stressed up and distinctly grouchy.
The sideffects: being unnecessarily tetchy with Mr TLC. This is very, very bad. Mr TLC is lovely and is almost never tetchy with me.
The cure:1. Finding a link to Tom Lehrer’s elements song. (Thank you Neil H of [...]

I stumbled across this rather excellent site at the weekend. Actually, that’s not strictly true, it’s probably fairer to say that it found me.
Forum member HughW was kind enough to link from this thread to one of my posts here, which allowed me to find sheffieldhistory.co.uk. If, like me, you didn’t know about [...]

Oh thank you Alice, I’m still laughing about this and I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched it since yesterday! This has to be one of best things I’ve seen in ages.
Not only is this gem of a cartoon utterly hilarious, it also explains the great mystery as to why I [...]

It’s been a highly productive day. One of my colleagues found elfyourself.com and then we all got a bit competitive making each other into elves. In between elfing ourselves we did manage some teaching. And we made up good elf-y puns.

Any questions?Then why not ask the incredible Caterpillar Oracle*? Inspired by the famous character from Alice in Wonderland, he claims to knows all the answers! Designed to answer yes/no questions, he copes quite well with most enquiries, but be warned, his answers are not guaranteed to be the ones you would like to hear.*requires [...]

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!
