Mr TLC is having fun coming up with random names for himself. After I referred to him as Mr A Derbyshiretown yesterday, he keeps wandering in and announcing himself in a variety of guises. Mr Buxton could sound rather grand, but since we invariably pronounce Buxton in […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: December 9th, 2008 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Ask the Internet | Going on at great length and boring everyone to tears | My Life | Random Musings | The Job. 10 comments - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)Is it really a week since I last posted? It appears so. One whole week of stuff to tell you, some of it quite interesting, but sadly, you’re getting the edited low lights. Unlucky you. (This is the point where good manners dictate that I say stop reading, look away now, go and read something […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: December 1st, 2008 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Crookes | My Life | Random Musings | Sheffield. Comments are closedIt’s amazing what you can learn from the local news. For example, apparently the area in which we live is awash with big gangs of students, all walking along very slowly and self consciously. We know this must be true, because although we have never seen Crookes look quite like this, we saw it on […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: November 29th, 2008 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: My Life | Random Musings. 7 comments - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)Following Mr Scalzi’s lead – and finding one at a price I just couldn’t resist – I did my bit for the economy and bought an EEE PC. The plan was simple – my school laptop spends a lot of time driving the SMART board, so in the meantime, I can’t get at registers, planning, […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: November 19th, 2008 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Languages | Random Musings | The Job. 2 comments - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)“Miss, you know that Mr Smith?” Mr Smith is our careers advisor, so obviously I do. “Yes, of course.”“Is he a secret agent?” A secret agent. Wow, I hope so. Although obviously it’s somewhat unlikely. “Maybe. What gave him away?” “Well, when Sads went for his careers interview, he said he could speak Spanish and […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: November 18th, 2008 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: More Cats | Random Musings. 2 comments - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)We share our home with two very fine cats. Said cats are currently embarked upon a major eat-athon. Ginger Cat has put on his winter lard, as he always does, but there seems to be more of it than usual. He has grown a thicker, fluffier, winter-proof coat, as he always does, but there seems […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: November 9th, 2008 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Mr TLC | My Life | Random Musings. Comments are closedA sudden change of plans for us today. Last night we received a last minute invitation to Mr TLC’s granddaughter’s blessing – which is today – and then her Christening in a few week’s time. (I’ve no idea what form this blessing will take, time will tell.) Why weren’t we invited until the last minute?

One comment so far - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)Watching events unfold on the news today has made especially uncomfortable viewing. It’s only two weeks ago that we were enjoying the great outdoors not far from Wasdale, in fact we had intended walking in that area.

The kids all have two days off (training day tomorrow and a holiday on Friday), so they felt like they were breaking up for the holidays, in fact I won’t be teaching again until next Wednesday as a result of training days and so on.
