Whilst we were in London at the weekend we made a number of small discoveries. Here are ten things that I didn’t know this time last week:
1. The cost of living in London is……very reasonable where public transport and food shopping are concerned. We also spent very little more on going out to [...]

I am often asked what I think about graffiti by my students. It’s a rather vague question to be honest, given that we could be talking about anything from a clumsily daubed tag to an urban masterpiece.
I suspect that this area on the South Bank causes some controversy, I often hear people tutting [...]

With great skill we managed to miss both the parade (we arrived too late) and the dragon dancing (we had to leave too early) which I particularly wanted to watch. We did time our arrival perfectly to allow us [...]

Dear Mum,
We are having a cracking time in London.
We have been to Borough Market and bought something delightful for you – can you guess what it is?

Wish you were here!
Love [...]

July arrives. Mr TLC soon has no work to do. The mud has been shovelled into an seemingly endlessly set of skips. The insurance company has sent in a team to clean the machines. There is no sign of production restarting. Mr TLC spends his days at work reading books and listening to CDs. [...]

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!
