Halfterm Funtime

~ Phil Lengthorn ~ 1 Comment

After the shenanigans of the last term, this halfterm I had decided that it was to be full up with stuff. And it was. I had homework to complete.

Plenty of parkrunning and long runs, Samaritans, gigs, meals out, reading, allotment action and general merry making was had.

I’m feeling ready for a very important term back at school.

Let's be honest: Janathon was a disappointment. Only managed to run for 22 days, barely reached the 100 mile mark and found the second half of the month very tough. Cue an endless list of excuses: cold, snow, ice, busy at work, snow, cold, ice, dark nights, busy at work and it was very cold.

Following on from the monthly projects in 2012 and Janathon I feel like a bit of a rest is needed in February.

Work has been very busy and I've been working hard to catch-up with marking in an attempt to have a pretty quiet and relaxing half-term. The hard work has paid off and I've somehow managed to do everything apart from a class set of Y10 controlled assessments that need doing. A week to recharge the batteries this week because the next term is probably going to be very busy: exam preparation, after school sessions and other general rubbish.

So the start of half-term began with beer, some vodka martini in a James Bond style, some blue stuff…

….followed by some green stuff….

In other news….I have managed to bag some tickets for a few gigs in the coming months:

I came across this little baby halfway through the month of #decembeer. A beer specially brewed for Frank Turner by Signature Brew. Apparently Frank likes his beers' “to be refreshing and crisp”. So Signature Brew came up with this….#31…Believe…..

“This modern twist on the traditional wheat beer encompasses subtle citrus and orange flavours to create a crisp refreshing brew. Enjoy cold with great folk”

As much as I love Frank turner, this beer is not particularly good. Rather too much like a lager than a beer. This beer would easily get lost amongst the dozens of really good beers out there.
