Sneaky backpost #1 We’ve got it down to a ritual now: check in, dump suitcase, go and say hello to the river. (Yes, I’m afraid I do mean that literally.) Then off to a pub that is blessed with a Very Fine Location Indeed for a drink (that’s drink as in coffee btw, it [...]

Yes, that’s right, these guys: OK Go – Here It Goes Again from OK Go on Vimeo. But don’t fall into the trap of thinking that they only do treadmills and quirky videos. They also do pretty blooming brilliant live performances.

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.) [...] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: January 5th, 2010 Posted in: Life Tags for this post: My Life | The Job. 6 comments - more welcome!Got up at silly o’clock this morning, looked out of the window and observed a complete lack of any new snow. 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: January 4th, 2010 Posted in: Life Tags for this post: My Life. 3 comments - more welcome!Most people went back to work today, but for me this was the last day of the holiday. We decided to do a quick run to the supermarket and then set off on a small quest to buy me some boots that don’t leak. Good thing we did, since judging by the [...] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: December 30th, 2009 Posted in: Life Tags for this post: My Life. One comment so far - more welcome!It was one of those carefully choreographed moments, the type that don’t quite seem convincing when you see them in a film. The venue for this slightly unlikely scene was the vet’s surgery, where Ginger Cat had been less than delighted to receive his booster vaccinations. I was standing at the counter when someone [...] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: December 27th, 2009 Posted in: Life Tags for this post: My Life | Random Musings | Reminiscing. 2 comments - more welcome!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 [...] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: December 20th, 2009 Posted in: Life Tags for this post: Mr TLC | My Life | Spurious lists. Leave a comment1. 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 [...] 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 [...] |
