Third party tied up for me the other day & I have just noticed that Mr Messy’s Guide to Student Life has remerged on top of the scanner on my desk. I think that rather than just being for students it’s got good wisdom for teachers, have been students and others as well.
My top quote [...]
Yesterday I had to admit that there are some things I just can’t do because (i) I haven’t got a decent ladder and (ii) I’m a bit of a pathetic girly when it comes to heights & stuff. There is one room in the house where I can’t reach to change the lightbulb, so I [...]
Well it’s back to life, back to reality as they say (or as De La Soul or somebody did many moons ago).
Still before yesterday becomes a total distant memory. The exhibitions @ Tate Modern were Robert Frank Story Lines which was a collection of photographs mainly. It was kind of a social history in many [...]
Many parts to the blog today, as life has suddenly exploded. First of we are top of the league, say we are top of the league!!!!!! (After last weeks disappointments we (that is they, the team, the Tractor Boys) managed to win today against Brighton & Wigan only drew their match so we are top [...]
Snuffles starting to go & brain starting to return (v.good).
Have only read soundbites on Queens Speech, but from what I gather the basic idea was anybody who is different is a threat and needs to be dealt with appropriately, and a climate of fear is being created (although we were promised that wasn’t going to [...]
Have started sneezing today and having to blow my nose too much. Wouldn’t have been so bad, but was parents evening tonight, so carefully had to ration "good, nice" tissues from handy packet during the day & use falling apart kitchen roll when I was in the office. Still am desperately trying to keep it [...]
Went to (formal) church last night, first time I’d been to an evening service in ages (although I generally prefer them to morning services). It was soooo cool in a wierd way. After the singing and praying we just had a dip into the bible and discussed the beginning of 1 Peter, seeing as nobody [...]
Today I write this with a bit of a confuddled (confusicated) head and as somebody who is not a happy bunny.
We could have gone top!!! We could have been top of the league!!!! We could have managed to win!!!! However, I support the Tractor Boys so of course it wasn’t going to happen. I am [...]
Still enjoying reading the Binchey book. Have realised (somewhat sadly) that it’s the first fiction book I have read in absolutely ages (probably since the summer holiday) although I have read loads of non-fiction. Am making time to plough through a really good story and have found that I am actually managing to chill. Am [...]
Today started with an hour and a half on a bus. Not intended, my normal 1/2 hour journey was extended by stuck level crossing gates. So a wonderful start to the day. Wouldn’t have been quite so bad if yesterday I hadn’t walked into a conversation @ work where bus travel was well and truly [...]
