I idly wondered if my neighbour was sculpting Ann Boleyn, but then I spotted him making the snowball that was destined to become her head. Her consort appeared the next day. Not sure who added the cigarette, but I think [...] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: January 6th, 2010 Posted in: Life Tags for this post: My Life | The Job | Weather. 5 comments - more welcome!Up at silly o’clock again today, planning to set out super early to get to school on time. 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: December 21st, 2009 Posted in: Everything Tags for this post: #uksnow | Crookes | Sheffield | Weather. 2 comments - more welcome!I was impressed with the finest snowman in Crookes last year; now some of his relatives have mysteriously arrived on our street. I liked making snowmen when I was a kid, but I never made anything like these two. Snowmenpeople with legs. And arms. Wow. And strategically placed bottles. Hmm. Still, I think [...] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: May 15th, 2009 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Random Musings | The Job | Weather. Leave a commentSome 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 [...] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: February 8th, 2009 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: #uksnow | Weather. Leave a commentDear Mr Snow, I don’t know quite how to put this. There’s no easy way to say it is there? It’s been fun and we’ve had some good times, but we’ve drifted apart and I think it’s time we went our separate ways. At first everything seemed fine. I’d forgotten how attractive you are [...] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: February 4th, 2009 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: #uksnow | Crookes | Mr TLC | Photoblogging | Weather. 4 comments - more welcome!Our roving reporter (that’s Mr TLC, who declined most emphatically when I suggested he might like to do a guest post) spotted this splendid figure of a snowman, patiently waiting for a 52 bus. Obviously our frosty friend hadn’t seen this (via @Rashbre). He was attracting quite a bit of attention – the snowman [...] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: February 3rd, 2009 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Mr TLC | My Life | The Job | Weather. Leave a commentThere was a lot of talk on the news today about schools geting the day off. In fact that’s true for an awful lot of my colleagues in other local schools. (Enjoy your day off YP!) Would I get the day off? That would be an unexpected bonus. Very unexpected in fact, because I [...] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: December 2nd, 2008 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Mr TLC | My Life | The Job | Weather. 3 comments - more welcome!Well that was quite an exciting day. And it’s not over yet. First up: snow. There was none when we woke up. Not a single snowflake. Lots of ice though, so I decided to set off early. St Mr TLC decided to scrape the ice off the car for me. He looked out of [...] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: July 10th, 2008 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Photoblogging | Weather. 3 comments - more welcome!
Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: June 26th, 2008 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: My Life | Random Musings | Weather. 2 comments - more welcome!At the risk of sounding old-fashioned, or even just plain old, I really miss the days when weather forecasters stood in front of real display boards and slapped not-very-sticky cloud/sun/rain symbols on them as an aid to informing us about their meteorological predictions. I don’t dislike the technological advances since then, in fact I [...] |
