That is an amazing looking recipe! I’ll have to give it a go. I’m in the middle of making this, highly recommend: https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/summer-winter-chicken
Also finally getting around to watching the Umbrella Academy this evening. Only a couple of episodes in but seems worth the watch so far.Statutory Ape wrote: »Must be tough after 6 months off alright!

I taught live video lessons for 3 hours every day, perhaps that’s ‘off’ to some but it was definitely more ‘on’ than face to face teaching ever is.ToxicPaddy wrote: »How are your school handling it BK?
All kids in every day or splitting class across multiple days?
Business as usual mate! Table groups given a fancy name, some hand sanitiser and away you go
Tbh I’d rather face to face teaching than the online again so I hope it all works ok.
I think the reopenings are very different across schools. We had staggered yard times in my place and big yards anyway so the outside playtime is much the same, but I know teachers who have to go out on yard themselves with their class (one class at a time) and so have no break. The staff in mine have our breaks but no staffroom so while right now I get a bit of peace during the day, I guess that won't happen when the kids are kept in on rainy winter days.
The school has ordered wireless mics for all the teachers which will hopefully make a big difference, even wearing a visor muffles your voice quite a bit. They taped around my desk to create a teacher zone which the kids can't enter (and I don't have to wear PPE in it). It's a lovely ornament for the room but totally useless tbh.
We have big storage boxes now for each kid to keep all their things in - no pencil cases etc to go home - which have to be on the floor, so you've to be careful walking round my room
Some of the boxes are sitting in my tape zone as the room is so small!
I don’t think there are any schools with half the class in but I’m not sure. Even my friend working in a place with very medically vulnerable kids is expected to have her class in as usual, though I think a lot of parents aren’t sending them in.0 -

Nothing crazy planned, might watch a film (John Wick 3 I think), play some games (finish Paper Mario on Switch or start Super Mario 3D All-Stars), drive into town for lunch and a stroll.
I'm seriously sick and tired of restrictions and regulations. I've followed the rules scrupulously, but I'm just tired.

It's a rough patch alright (in many ways)0 -

Soooooo I finally treated myself for Black Friday and actually bought something worth talking about, a new TV, the current 15yo 32inch LCD TV is on its last legs so a new one was in order.
I'm like a kid with a new toy
The only previous purchase for a Black Friday was an electric toothbrush :pac:0 -

Enjoyed it, had some family over to visit for the first time in over a year, so had some lunch in a restaurant outside in their beer garden enjoying the sunshine and my first fathers day as a father
Took 3 weeks off work as herself was going back to work after maternity leave so the little one was gonna have a bit of a shock. The weather has been unreal for it.
Been out for 2-3 walks a day every day with the little one, it's lovely going for a walk on the beach or down to the park and relaxing with a coffee watching the world go by as she snoozes.
One week left and so making the most of it. 0 -

Not Technic but a while back I got the Lego Yellow Submarine and a couple of weeks ago bought the Lego Ecto 1 (car from Ghostbusters), Havent started on it yet, its about 2500 pieces and I have two toddlers so difficult to find somewhere to keep it out of reach from little hands.
In other news, got an exam result yesterday, successfully passed it so Ive now gained the qualification I was going for. Felt I had passed it but you never bloody know, chuffed to have it over the line, there may be some beers had tonight. 0 -

I looked at Technic awhile ago and there was just too much choice. I couldn't really select one to fit my skill level or my kids skill level. And I got distracted and gave up. Didn't want something too easy that would just bore the kids and make them lose interest. Also didn't want something way too hard so they give up and lose interest
Might look at it again. (Daughter nearly 11 and son just turned 7 and are generally relatively technical and arty for their age so would likely aim for something above their age like mid-late-teens level).
Recently we have started building our own Telecaster Style Guitars. That's been fun but a slow enough project as we keep putting it down and coming back to it as time allows.0 -
