Day 287: The Day This Blog Became Useful
The title… well it’s about a quiz on BBC Four. Some people call it Only Connect. Because that’s its name. A few days ago I posted about the Lazy Caterer’s Sequence and this was the answer to a question...

Day 302: Grange Moor’s New Site
All I have done today is sit with the laptop and work on Grange Moor Brass Band‘s new site. There is nothing to show you yet as it is all hidden behind a splash screen at the moment. After a...

Day 309: Let The Ridicule Commence
Well, the ‘tache isn’t going well. It has always grown slowly and this is just making my point. Pathetic. Today the growth plan was shared with the parents at school, so I fully expect some comment or...

Day 310: A Long And Horrible Evening
Now, as always, this is the last thing I do before going up to bed. However, I have normally been changed out of my work clothes for a good long time before sitting down to write. Not so today. I have...

Day 315: The Death Of A Projector
Fifty days to go in this project. I’m still, I always be will be, surprised at how well this is going. It might not always be the most interesting thing to read, but it’s been written every day… Today...

Day 319: A Few Nice Things
The Movember thing may not be the best idea I’ve ever had – the inability to actually grow facial hair is causing me issues. However, it isn’t stopping people making donations. Today has been a bumper...

Day 324: Over Prepared
Just so you know, the title is the answer to yesterday’s question. All was ok. Not great but ok. I have learnt that I need to think less and rely more on my instincts when teaching. That is a big step...

Day 326: JFK
Fifty years after his death, people are remembering where they were when it all happened. I was minus twenty and therefore have no clue. All over the radio – because that’s my main source of news as I...

Day 328: It’s All About The Anniversaries
154 years ago today, a ground breaking document was published in this country. A scientific work which instantly sold out. I am, of course, referring to On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural...

Day 340: An Unbelievably Easy Day
I hadn’t planned for today to be quite as wimple as it turned out to be. The morning consisted of a rehearsal at church for our carol concert – an behemoth of an event that is taking forever to get...

Day 342: A Clear Sunday Evening
The run down to the end of the school year has certainly flicked a switch in my way of thinking. Ten days left until the end of 2013 at work. Huge amounts to do. Each day is needing its own special...

Day 351: Lots of nothingness. Wait…
…haven’t I used that title before? Another day down at work. Plenty of lovely Christmassy things going on. All that’s needed now is some wintery weather. It’s all still a bit autumnal – an autumnal...

Day 365: The End Of The Daily Blog. For Now.

The First Of 2014: A Mixed Bag Of Events So Far

Steve Evans: A Remarkable Man
Now then, this is of limited interest to most people – you will have needed to listen to BBC 5Live and to Richard Bacon‘s show to understand. I came across this all quite by accident one PPA afternoon...

I Am 31
