Actually, I was wrong, we’ve been eating chilli since Thursday. Chilli and rice, enchiladas, chilli and mash, chilli and chilli. Chilli for lunch, chilli for dinner. I like chilli, [...]

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 [...]

Last month Neil kept us all entertained with a rather splendid top 5 meme. My favourite was undoubtedly his Top 5 under appreciated things about Sheffield.
