I am currently sitting on a bench in the White Rose Centre in Leeds, having done a good proportion of my Christmas shopping. Beth’s driving here now, then we’re meeting her parents for tea. I still believe I can do all my Christmas shopping in 30 minutes. Make that 50 minutes now I have a [...]

Little Voice
December 18 08
Hello readers. Today I am at home, with no voice. Well actually I have got some voice, but when I talk it sounds like my voice is breaking. Reminiscent of those wonderful days of puberty. I can speak much lower than before, but when I try to speak normally it just breaks. Very weird. And [...]
And for my next trick
December 14 08
I am blogging from my gmail app on my phone. Yes, I could open my browser and go straight to tumblr, but this is much faster and geekier. So I like it. In other news, I’ve just downloaded a flashlight app and a compass. Hahaha. I love my “phone”
G1, baby
December 13 08
Yes, my new G1 phone charged up overnight, and I started it up for the first time this morning. First impressions? It is a sweet, sweet phone. Reviewers were correct about the poor battery life, but that is to be expected whilst running 3G and syncing Google mail and contacts. But that is the sweetest [...]

That’s not drum club - there’s no drums!Me, at being shown a photo of drum club, with no drums in the photo. I’m kind of settling into this school a little, and wondering if I’ll be back after Christmas…
So, who’s seen Santa???

Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat, no, no, no!
This brings back memories. Memories of probably 25 years ago (or more?), singing in a Leicester primary school Christmas “concert” with other grotty children.
One of the grotty children’s teeth fell out yesterday. I had to wrap it up in toilet paper and suggest the child in question gave the tooth in [...]
Repercussions of Eid
December 9 08
Having got up an hour later than intended, I rushed to get into school for 8:40am. I didn’t make it, and I didn’t need to, as I was told to go to the PPA room to plan. And here I am, having planned the whole week and now metaphorically wrestling with a laptop that refuses [...]
Blogging Foci
December 8 08
I was talking earlier with a friend, and he asked me how much time I spent on “Facebook.” I think Facebook was used as a general term to mean “wasting time,” or time that could be used more wisely, perhaps, engaging with real people.
I hardly spend any time at all on Facebook. It appears that [...]
Never going to happen
December 8 08
I just half-heartedly tried to get my wife to sign up with tumblr. It’s never going to happen.
Although saying that, she once started I made her start a blog, many years ago (back in the good old days of daviddave.com). She may not be impressed that I’m linking to it here, but well, what are [...]
