Yes! What a weekend. It all started on Saturday morning with an enjoyable round of golf. Tim and I finally got onto the golf course in Kirkstall, and played a pleasant nine holes. Particularly good fun. We brought out the golfing attire that we have been gathering for a while now, and we looked a treat. Check out the photographic evidence here. You can also see some great pictures of us enjoying the pudding party that Sarah Leeson from Monsoon held at her house on Wednesday.
Golf was followed by a jaunt into town, with visits to the oriental supermarket on Vicar Lane, and Morrisons in Kirkstall for more groceries. There was also some great chop-busting action, when we encountered one of the student teachers from my school working on the checkout. We started eating the bread that we'd bought while it was still on the conveyor belt, dropping crumbs everywhere.
When we got home, I sorted out some lesson planning for today, while Tim prepared the meal. We had the most amazing chilli ginger mushroom noodle concoction. I'm going to post the recipe on here when I get the chance. It was UNBELIEVABLE... We finished off the night with a viewing of Cool Runnings. I love that film. The late John Candy. What a guy.
Yesterday, church was awesome in the morning, and we practised with the band in the afternoon. We also did a photo shoot ready for the website to be updated, and also to use some images for the demo which should be ready in the next couple of weeks. That needs to be going off to some venues in Leeds before I head to Canada. Tim and Mark's Saturday kitchen took place yesterday (I know it was Sunday...) evening, and we were able to enjoy stilton scones with butter followed by oatmeal and raisin cookies whilst we watched the incredible Planet Earth. And, I quote, lovely stuff.
This morning I had a formal observation by my link tutor from college. He was watching me teach a literacy lesson to a year four group. I did something on Danny the Champion of the World by Roald Dahl, getting the kids to plan out the way that they would poach a pheasant from the woods. It was all great fun, and I got a very encouraging feedback sheet from him, that says I'm on the right track. It's all good stuff.
So, this afternoon, one of the teachers is off, so I get to take her class. We're going to do something for mothering Sunday. I think that we're going to make a class book about what we like about our mums. I love my mums; both Hardy and Ventura. What a fortunate man I am. I'm off to get my resources together, then. Love you...

hahahahahaa Those pics are CLASSIC. I can't wait to go golfing in proper attire...
Yes, chop busting is a must. and if you work in a grocery store you're just asking for it. What better place is there to bust someone's chops?
and good news on the observation! I knew you'd ACE that!!! You're the smartest...ever.
*except at games I like to win*
I'd like to point out that I looked almost as dapper as Mark on the golf course at the weekend, although when we trialled the clothes at a recent Band Club gig the feedback was shall we say less than positive.
Unfortunately I have of late lost the enigmatic persona so carefully crafted (mostly generated by witholding my surname, and height (not an easy thing)), however I like to think that it is being somewhat restored through being alluded to, though rarely sited, on Mark's blog (I really do prefer it on the other side of the lens).
Anyway, the actual reason I am commenting is that Mark has neglected to mention that in a kind of The Walton's come to Village Place type thing we have recently taken to enjoying a conversation - of an evening - from our adjacent bedroom windows, thus busting multiple chops no doubt of our other neighbours or housemates, well, at least the ones that haven't disappeared off with Claire, or the other Mark, or come to think of it maybe even Anders who isn't even ............. (what did I tell you, enigmatic, or perhaps just annoying)
oh man i love those phots of your golfing outfits. that just awesome!! I am a golfer myself, not a good one, and I would absolutly love to play a round with you some day, ofcourse waering proper golf clothes like in the pics!! weee!! Oh and the snow man pics rock to!! you two are halarryass!!
