Just to be British it’s chucking it down right now, if we weren’t trying to pack up the campervan for a little jaunt it wouldn’t be quite so bad.
I have looked up weather for the next few days and have decided we want the BBC weather forecast – it’s really rather nice, sunshine, maybe a [...]

Well, for me at least. Having led the music group for almost exactly five years, today was my last Sunday. I can’t say I’m sad, it was time to go. I had reached my limits of massaging everyones egos and finely balancing personalities that didn’t get on with each other. It is with relish that [...]

And I feel I’ve waited a long time for it. For goodness sake it’s the end of May already, and please let it stay nice for half term next week.
And would you believe that I am only just realising that I have lost all my email addresses with my old computer, so if anyone thinks [...]

I can’t wait – a week off and when I go back after half term the year 11’s will have gone and life will be wonderful… well, better.
A person I play badminton with pulled ‘that’ face when someone asked me about half term. She got what is now my standard response “if you want my [...]

I did it, I really did it. Having been so ashamed to walk out of my front door for the last month or so I finally pulled up all the thistles, some came up really easily, some broke off, some didn’t hurt and some did. But the point is that it’s done, it doesn’t look [...]

It’s one of the more common phrases I get for people finding my wiblog, so here are some suggestions for those people…
- suggest ‘this should be a fun lesson’ on the last lesson before your GCSE exams – that works
- spend the entire lesson when I am giving my last minute, ‘lets fool the examiner [...]

It isn’t often my church experiences the delights of Choral Evensong, but tonight was an exception. I quite enjoy it when it happens, tonight I was in the ‘choir’, thankfully no pointy hats in sight (and they wonder why their regular choir is full of 70+ year olds).

I had considered my options of what computer to buy. I seriously considered Dell – a variety of people have recommended them, one not so much. Instead I bought from PC World – recommended by no-one but an easy option.
So upstairs I now have a 17″ flat screen monitor with 160GB of memory, 512MB RAM, [...]
