Did you ever think you would end up with a teaching job? The only advice I have when it comes fo mentoring people is to make them feel safe to spot and correct their own mistakes. Generally people know they have messed up long before you have to tell them. If you are the guy who lets them try to fix it before stepping in then you both win.

With the others I've trained that is always a good sign that they are picking things up nicely.

Where I work mistakes can be quite costly, but most can be corrected if spotted early enough.

Only minor concern is I've only taught a similar age range to myself, most of these will be 18-20, might be a bit different to what I've been used to?

My goodness, I haven't eaten that for donkey's years. I remember I used to feel it was rather up-market when I fried some onion to add to the mix! Ah, student days......

The goo is really stuck on. I do have the green pads in, so can always switch to those if that's the case.

Are the rims Chromed or Aluminium.

Morning . It was very confusing when I got up. The bright sunshine streaming through the curtains made me think we had blue skies. Peer round the curtains and everything was grey !

I'm totally confused now !
I woke up thinking it was Friday and then went on to and started reading a thread from 2010 !

Working till 2:15 (started at 6:15) then going to practice my running technical and cook some lush dinner...

Half term at a busy leisure centre is not much fun, so I am definitely appreciating the downtime! x

Annoyed with my printer. I don't use it very often, and today I need it to print a ticket. Yes, I know the colour ink cartridge is empty... so why the feck won't the blasted machine let me print using the almost full black cartridge only?!

My printer hasn't worked properly for years, but I don't use it enough to warrant replacing it, it , currently it has a flashing orange light on it and a big yellow number three on the display.

Do you sometimes wish you had kept those printing kits we had as Christmas presents all those years ago ? I never knew what the picture of a rat was for ?

Firewall PC was making lots of noise, so lid off and took the piles of fluff out. Still noisy but fan doen't have to work so hard. These old cream Compaq Deskpro ENs go on for years but I suspect this one hasn't many more.

After my run coaching last night, I was recommended to get a fitness watch that has a pace setting. I was sure my fitness watch did not have this function, however, after fiddling with it this morning I am pretty pleased that my relatively cheap fitness tracker watch (£30 from Amazon) actually has the pace function. Was worried I would need to buy a fancy Garmin at twice the price...

I remember a large John Bull printing press from my childhood.

Today I shall be mainly drinking coffee, eating sandwiches and wishing that the Test Match started a day earlier.
