I rediscovered a misplaced memory yesterday: I suddenly remembered how my grandparents used to carefully remove the ‘seal-oh-tape’ (as they always called it) from used wrapping paper. The paper was then folded carefully away to be reused – after all, as I was always told, it was still perfectly good. This paper might resurface wrapped […]

I’ve been writing some materials for a school trip to the museum, hence the double visit. Yesterday, whilst I wandered around the mostly science-y bit (note use of highly technical vocabulary), checking things and bemoaning the fact […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: May 19th, 2009 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Reminiscing | The Job. Comments are closedI’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, […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: May 18th, 2009 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Reminiscing | The Job. 2 comments - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)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 […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: May 13th, 2009 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Reminiscing | The Job. One comment so far - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)It’s almost exactly five years since I met a class of nervous looking Y6 pupils and told them that they were going to be a brilliant form group. It’s also five years since that very same group of nervous looking students stared at me as if I was a madwoman. Where did those five years […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: January 7th, 2009 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Random Musings | Reminiscing. One comment so far - more welcome! - (Comments are closed)Amidst all the debate and general sadness about the demise of Woolies I found an almost forgotten memory. It came back to me, unbidden, in one of those in between moments when I was travelling from sleep to wakefulness. Not a dream, just a sudden recollection of two enormous cardboard crates and their unwanted contents. […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: December 31st, 2008 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Reminiscing. Comments are closedDecember normally sees me looking forward to Christmas, but this year I felt strangely unfestive (I’m sure that’s not a word, but I’m sticking with it). I don’t know why really, we’re having a relaxed holiday, we’ve eaten, drunk and made merry. I’ve spent lots of time with Mr TLC, which is always good. It’s […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: December 31st, 2008 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Reminiscing. Comments are closedHey, I made it through a whole year of blogging. W00t! Of course, November’s big event was taking place far from here. Barrack Obama’s victory generated a wave of media optimism, a welcome – if brief – respite from the tales of economic doom and gloom. Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: December 30th, 2008 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Reminiscing. Comments are closedIt’s October, so we’re going to have to stop referring to Mr TLC’s gap year. I think I’d worked out that he wasn’t going back to work several months earlier than this. He looked at the adverts in the paper, in a kind of half-hearted way, but a new job was going to mean a […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: December 30th, 2008 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Reminiscing. Comments are closedSeptember was the month when the world failed to end, not with a bang, but with a whimper. Which is just as well, because our continued existence allowed us to enjoy Wirksworth Festival, Transports Exceptionnels and Cabaret Boom Boom. Splendid. from graph jam Mind you, despite the LHC’s failure to produce any black holes, there […] |
