Picked up both of these from Tallarn - too much time on your hands, sir!

The unreformed goth in me couldn't resist this one...

Have been feeling ill for over a week now.  Took a few days off last week, and then went back to to work, but wasn't feeling better.  If anything was feeling worse. drmal said it was backache, but since I never suffer from backache, took his diagnosis with a pinch of salt.  After all, five years at medical school, what does he know?  In any case, it ( Read more... )

...this marrying lark.

Got on to our wedding venue this week as I'd not heard anything from them for a while and also to check whether my mother and Mrs A could come with me to check out the venue.  They've very obligingly arranged for me to be let in by the duty security guard and the event organiser has even given me her mobile number so that if ( Read more... )

Yesterday was our Minus 1 Wedding Anniversary, which we spent doing the final packing and clear up operation at the flat.  Perhaps not the most romantic way to spend the day, but all in all a bit of a giggle.

Occasionally, we'd look at the clock and try and work out what we'd be doing at the same time next year, and then look at the debris and ( Read more... )

So, whose bright idea was it to set up a theatre company, train as a teacher, move house and plan a wedding at the same time, huh?

Last night, I certainly got the first hints that Autumn is here ( Read more... )

Well, I'm sitting here playing work avoidance tactics.

drmal is on another stint of nights, so it's just me, my teaching course materials and Derek Acorah so, of course, rather than crack on with my induction tasks and get ahead, I am posting an entry here instead.

I've also been checking out wedding venues online - the interweb is a wonderful thing.  ( Read more... )

First day's training at CCCU and was reassured to discover that I do actually know something about teaching.  Slightly worrying when a roomful of prospective secondary teachers aren't sure what year Key Stage 4 starts in...

After dutifully filling in the evaluation sheet for today's course, I've even booked my Skills Tests with the TTA - how good ( Read more... )

A little time since I made an entry so we're goin' fer gold and we're playin' ketchup...

drmal and I are now looking for wedding venues; as we're having a civil ceremony, we're looking for somewhere we can have both ceremony and reception.  So far we've looked at Eltham Palace (gorge) and on Saturday we looked at Beauberry (formerly Belair) House...
