Not down a well, but possibly in a small hole

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 a […]

Just one of those days

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 […]

Paris Postcard 4 – Time machine

As we headed home I decided to call Mr TLC.

“Hello,” I said in my best spooky voice, “I’m calling you from the future.”

Well, France is an hour in front you know. Surely that’s the future?

Paris Postcard 3 – It's a long way down!

Our final stop – and probably the highlight of our trip for most of the students – was the Eiffel Tower. I’d previously made it as far as the second level on a previous school trip, but insane crowds prevented us from ascending further on that particular ocasion. Well, it was 14th July.

This […]

Paris Postcard 2

Have you ever met someone you know or spotted anyone famous whilst you were on holiday? Not something I expected to happen to me in Paris, but whilst we were strolling through Montmartre I unexpectedly glimpsed a familiar face.

Hiding down a side street and smiling down at us was the unmistakeable grin of a […]

Paris Postcard 1

It’s amazing how long postcards takle to arrive isn’t it? It’s almost a month since I returned from my trip to Paris and it’s only just arrived. Amazing 😉

A school trip may be hard work, but it’s also great fun! We started off with a visit to the Cite des Sciences et de l’Industrie. […]

Having the time of their lives

There’s a photo that I wish I could show you. It captures perfectly the essence of a rather fantastic evening. Sadly, it’s out of blog bounds, so I’ll have to set the scene for you instead.

There were a few clues: a prematurely empty school car park, several limousines parked up on my route home. […]

Double Double Vision

I’m a slow learner. I know this. I can tell from the way that I carefully repeat the same mistooks over and over again. Maybe I’m just very good at practising those errors.

Anyway, after the episode with Joe and Matt, you’d think I would have been on my guard. In a sense I was, […]

Double Vision

I’ve only gone and done it again. That’s the fourth time, no sorry, make that the fifth. Unbelievable. I am truly an idiot.

‘Done what?’ you might ask, which would be a reasonable sort of question. So I’ll tell you, but I’ll start at the beginning, I’ll start by introducing you to Joe.

Joe […]

Didn't We Have A Luverly Time?

Some days are just amazing. Some days are packed full of moments to be seized and savoured; to be enjoyed to the full whilst they last and enjoyed again as they linger in the memory.

Other days are definitely more enjoyable in retrospect. Take, for instance, er… Friday 15th May 2009, the day that I […]
