Comments are closedAs a kid I loved Dr Who, but then, who didn’t? I never hid behind the sofa, but I often hid my face behind a cushion. If I can’t see the scary aliens, then they can’t see me, right? But there was one Dr Who adventure that I never watched until the end. The sight […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: January 30th, 2008 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: My Life | Reminiscing. Comments are closedToday is the big day – my Mum is 70. Happy birthday Mum! So, In Honour Of My Mum, some Random Facts about 1938, with some rather tenuous and contrived links to our family: Thornton Wilder’s play Our Town was performed for the first time on January 22 1938.In 1980 (or was it 1979?) my […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: January 10th, 2008 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: My Life | Reminiscing. Comments are closedYesterday’s excellent post by Diamond Geezer got me thinking. He was writing about his personal Year Zero for communication, known more generally as 1996. “I live in fear of a time I call 1996. …. I came home from work last night and worried that it was 1996. My computer was working, but my web […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: December 31st, 2007 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: My Life | Reminiscing. Comments are closedDecember is ushered in to a wail of “I’ll never get it done in time!” I enjoy my French course and I enjoy my job, but it would be nice to have time to do other things: maybe I could enjoy a relaxed conversation with Mr TLC or even chill out with a glass of […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: December 31st, 2007 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: My Life | Reminiscing. Comments are closedNovember and winter arrive pretty much at the same time. We see our first snow of the season, but happily it doesn’t last long. We celebrate bonfire night with friends and visit the continental market. I finish the Christmas shopping early and become unbearably smug about it. Mr TLC shows no signs at all that […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: December 30th, 2007 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: My Life | Reminiscing. Comments are closedOctober is a busy month with lots of birthdays, socialising, sculpture in the garden at Chatsworth and two performances of Cirque de Soleil’s Delirium at Sheffield Arena. Oh dear, I’m singing Alegria again. October also means back to college. I have managed to forget how much work was involved last year and have signed […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: December 30th, 2007 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: My Life | Reminiscing. Comments are closedSeptember is back to school time for me. Mr TLC still has no work to do, but is waiting for the outcome of the ‘consultation’ about the proposed redundancies. Given that the machines have been sold and it is obvious who is going to be made redundant, you wouldn’t think that this would take long, […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: December 29th, 2007 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: My Life | Reminiscing. Comments are closedWe got home from France and suddenly it was August. Mr TLC went back to work, but of course there was still no work to do. The factory grapevine brought the news that the machines were being sold to China, so there obviously wasn’t going to be any more work. He went to work every […] Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: December 29th, 2007 Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: France | London | My Life | Reminiscing. Comments are closedJuly arrives. Mr TLC soon has no work to do. The mud has been shovelled into an seemingly endlessly set of skips. The insurance company has sent in a team to clean the machines. There is no sign of production restarting. Mr TLC spends his days at work reading books and listening to CDs. He […] |
