Whoo Hoo.

Another staff meeting tonight a good part of which was about tracking and paperwork. Not good - terrifying. I'm at the point where thinking about an OFSTED inspection makes me quake with fear. By the time I got home everything was grey and miserable again. I'd left home in a heavy fog in the morning so for once there were no views to soothe my fevered mind. We took the children swimming in the morning which is fine as an activity but with having to travel there by coach it takes a good chunk out of their working time and it is hard to squeeze in everything we need to do.
Last night the garden was so full of owl noises I ended up going out to have a look. There was the hooting of the tawny owl which is the standard whoo hoo but that was accompanied by the persistent high screech of the much larger barn owl. When I stood in the garden I could just make out the ghostly shape of the barn owl as it flew out of the tree next to the house. I wonder if it was trying to communicate with the plastic horned owl that we put up to deter (unsuccessfully) the jackdaws.
It was a clear night and our lack of light pollution gave a fantastic view of the stars in the night sky. I'm not good on the constellations, can't find more than the saucepan - Orion's belt but Venus was shining and the Milky Way was spread out above me. I stood in the cold taking in the beauty of the night sky before scampering back up to bed.

Work, Work, Work.

The weather did a complete flip today, pouring with rain in the morning and sunny on the way home. I'm not too sure when the sun started to shine because it's been really busy at school, what a surprise. I've come to the realisation that yes, the level of input we do does make our teaching better but it's far too much for any one person and eventually you get burnt out. But the government doesn't care because then you shouldn't be teaching and they can employ some other eager candidate. At the moment there are about 100 applicants for each teaching job in this area. I was in school until 6.15 as I was putting up a large jungle display in my classroom which involved tearing lots of paper into strips and then pinning/ stapling them to the wall. That took ages and then I hid their paintings of tiger and leopard patterns in the foliage to look as if there were a couple of big cats hiding there. I selected 3 of the most life-like of the animal faces they had painted (not the ones with big smiles) to finish off the animals and also added some of the very good pastel drawings of jungle plants they had done today using both photographs and an orchid which I had bought for the classroom simply because it is so beautiful. I've craftily incorporated it into the India theme with a fancy label.
I often stop at one particular gateway on the way home to check out the sunset over the sea. Originally it was to see if there a good photo opportunity but recently I just stop to look at the view for a few minutes. Sometimes the sea is silver and at other times gold. I can't see Lundy from there but can look across to Appledore and Hartland.

Ultimate interior design element for nerds

Apple products tend to have more emphasis on the design than technology, but Aiino Clustmaster 12U Rack for Xserve makes even the high-performance Apple products fit into a work room. This rack cabinet is low, about the height of a writing table, and to make it possible to have one in a home, sound-proofed. The rack might cost 2000 euros, but if one fills it with Xserves instead of more normal server brands, that is quite little.

Fire no longer main cause of damage

2009 was the first year in Finnish insurance statistics when the main cause for home damage was no longer fire. Now over 70 million euros worth of damage was caused by water leaks from home appliances. This is a result of both rising number of homes having both a washing machine and a dishwasher and availability of low quality appliances.

Optimal DVD storage

What is the optimal DVD storage system? My opinion is that it should show all the DVD cases, but protect them from dust. That means a cabinet with a glass door. A more space-oriented solution would be to use drawers, so that more disks fit at the same wall space. But as seeing the cases is nice, my choice is Muurame Neppari.

Ipod is everywhere

No room is complete without an iPod dock, at least if you look at what Gorenje offers. They have included an iPod dock to a fridge, complete with a fridge-control software for the iPod.

Cheapest wine cabinet in Finland?

As Verkkokauppa.com tries to expand from selling just computer equipment, they are offering some items on new categories at low prices. A fine example is a wine cabinet for 90 euros. Of course, it comes from a Chinese factory just next to the one producing motherboards, but so does what others are selling.

Google TV

During last 20 years of technological revolution in our homes TV stays pretty much the same. Yes, we have larger and flatter screens and better sound but the principles are same like before 20 years, we have to search through large schedules in order to find when our favorite show is played and then wait on that time. There are attempts of interactive TV but it is still too much complicated and nearly every producer has his own solution. People from Google start to think how to make all these things much more simple. Their build their TV solution on the technologies which they already developed: search engine, YouTube, Chrome browser and Android OS. The main idea is that when we want to watch something we just google it on our TV similar like on PC. And we get timetable when it is played, where is possible to download it, related videos on YouTube etc.

Interior Design For Birds

I found a funny bird box from Urban Outfitters. Why not let birds also enjoy about interior design!


I'm not quite sure what birds would say about the cat face... ;)

Small Things Matter

Small things are a good way to give some colour to a space. Different coloured fabrics and unique items can be changed for example by seasons and that means that you don't have to change the whole decoration when bored to the old one. It's good to choose timeless items and patterns so that you want to use them again and they don't become disposable.

I visited couple of online shops and foud a few items for inspiration. This time bright blue caught my eye.

Changing Weather.

It is gently raining from a uniformly grey sky this evening. A complete contrast to this morning when the sun made a spectacular entrance onto an almost cloudless sky. The sun appeared as a golden globe that seared my eyes even through my beloved wrap-around sunglasses. Out over the sea a line of fluffy clouds were catching the light and looking unreal. To have that view beside me as I drive to work is such a blessing.It's been the usual busy day at school with a succession of visitors ,well 2 groups, being brought around the school and into the classroom. Luckily they came at times when everything was going as it should with children busying away at a variety of activities including using the web for research. Good thing they didn't come in when I was berating the children , mainly one child, whose over active pressing of the print button had resulted in 53 un-needed colour pages being printed. We have to incorporate ict into every lesson so the children do need to know how to operate the computers sensibly, no wild 'typing' on the keyboard or closing them down by switching off the box!

I went to my doctor after school and she seemed unsurprised by my request to be seen at Exeter hospital, she must know what a dreadful reputation our local hospital has even though it does quite well in government league tables. So now I'll phone and cancel my operation date which had finally come through and wait to start the whole process again at Exeter. Don't want to take chances when they're carving bits off my spine.
