The occasion of the Younger Grandkitten’s birthday presents an excellent opportunity for a spot of baking.

Comments are closedWhat happened when I went on holiday to France for the first time in about 3 years? Obviously I had a very nice time visiting interesting places, enjoying the local cafes and generally relaxing – but I’ll tell you more about that over the next few days. I also discovered that I had forgotten a […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: November 4th, 2013 Posted in: Everything | Life Tags for this post: Quotes and Quips | The Job.

Comments are closedThe Art & Architecture Trail is easily the highlight of the Wirksworth Festival, with a wide variety of buildings becoming galleries for the day and playing host to an amazing number of artists. We spent most of Sunday visiting churches, gardens, the library, tiny cottages, large houses, schools, shops and even the railway station.

Mason Cooley (via Lifehacker) I’m very aware of just how fortunate I am to get such a long break over the summer.

Comments are closedI like maths. I like quotations. Obviously this book appealed to me. I was expecting a standard book of quotations, but was pleased to discover that this wasn’t quite what I had anticipated. There are, as the title suggests, around 100 mathematical quotations from people as diverse as the hoopy frood Douglas Adams, Nobel […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: December 30th, 2012 Posted in: Everything | Life Tags for this post: Grenoside | Mr TLC | My Life | Sheffield.
