Hello! Remember me? I’ve been exceedingly busy doing a great many things, some interesting, some not (such is life), so here’s a quick update:
I have been to Paris, which went something like this: count children onto a bus, set off, travel a bit, count children, arrive at science museum, count children, have a brilliant time, [...]

Mr TLC has arrived at a more interesting age.
On his last birthday, I suggested that he could spend his days carrying the good folk of Crookes to Woodhouse and back, but apparently he didn’t see himself as that kind of 52. Now he is back in his prime. (I am not currently in my prime, [...]

An evening of impersonation for me today: time to do my best grandmother impression.
Mr TLC’s beautiful granddaughter (who really needs a blog name, Baby A just doesn’t fit her anymore) is two today. Where does the time go?
I hadn’t seen her for a while and the change was dramatic: from toddler to a very [...]

I don’t really do Valentine’s Day. To say Mr TLC dislikes it would be putting it rather mildly, so to be honest, it’s just not worth the hassle.
I changed my mind today though, when Peter Rowlett tweeted a link to a Möbius Valentine’s card. (Yes, I am more than mildly obsessed with Möbius strips lately, [...]

Thursday (Ofsted – 4 days)
My day starts, as usual on Thursdays, with a group of wildly enthusiastic primary students. I arrive at my own school at break to be greeted by The News. *They* have called. Well, we were expecting it – bring it on. Am I coming into school at the weekend? Absolutley not. [...]

Sneaky backpost #2
Our visits to the Royal Albert Hall always seem to start with what seems like hours (but is actually probably only a few minutes) hanging about outside, waiting for the doors to open, getting distinctly cold and wondering why there is no convenient London Boozer lurking in the neighbourhood.
This time we attacked from [...]

1. I’m on holiday – woohoo! Actually I’ve been on holiday for a little while – school broke up last Thursday – but I have been hiding under a duvet and sleeping. As you do.2. I have caught, fought and mostly got rid of the traditional Christmas holiday cold. Go me. (Yes, that’s why I [...]

It’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 compared to [...]

When I got home tonight Mr TLC told me that he had bought some potatoes and some new green peas. A slight misunderstanding ensued.
Then I discovered that I had won on the Premium Bonds. Woohoo! No, I’m not a millionnaire, twas only £25 – but what the heck, those peas didn’t look very [...]

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!
