Went to see The Hold Steady at Wembley recently. They were actually the support for Counting Crows. The Hold Steady were (are) fantastic-Counting Crows-frankly boring.
Saw Cleo Lane on Sunday-83 and still an amazing voice
Hi Jim. We're all good thanks. Good of you to ask. Yep still working at the Stables hearing some good and some "interesting" stuff. One of the highlights in the last few months was Swing Out Sister-believe it or not. A truly brilliant acoustic set.…
Hi Melvyn,
I'm probably the closest to the Stables (so far), but that weekend I'll be in The Lakes, attempting some Mammoth walks. Sorry.
Hope you & yours are well & happy (and not being bothered by the old CC).
Terry.
Hi Melvyn,
Well if anyone is passing through Manchester and wants to give a damsel in distress a lift down there then i might come along!!!!
I can hear you all scurrying off in opposite directions now!!! haha
Melvyn--- great to hear from you!!!!! How's the boy-- should I say boys, wife daughters et al?
Nope can't do Milton Keynes on Friday-- more's the pity.
Are you still sponsoring hopeful and hopeless talent at the stables? I can play the paper and c…
Hi all
In the continuing absence of our dear friends Roxy Magic still offer the best alternative (I think). They are playing at The Stables here in Milton Keynes on Friday 4th September-8pm. Its a 400 seat venue and it would be great to see it full…
Busy week then and I know what you mean about being away from your family!! Take helen's advice and cuddle the teddy!! Ha!!Ha!!
Yes you are right !!! This time 13 months ago we were being considered for special measures so the Head and staff have done brilliantly!!! The trouble is now as the SIP said we have to be aware of 'poaching'!!! The Head at the moment is caretaking a school till Christmas!! We're all a bit nervous about 'moves' at the moment!! As you can imagine!! Got a Curriculum and Personel commitee this afternoon to look forward too!!! Don't worry, the other Govs. know where the hard work comes from, but he does tend to wallow in the glory a bit!!! By the way meant to say have you joined ukgovs site??? if not I'll email you the address, it's well worth a look. Plenty of great ideas!!!
Don't miss Janet (what a lovely name!!!!) too much, the week will fly by!!!
Haha, Is there really a Teddy Bear on your bed?...Awesome! Haha you gotta give it a cuddle now....Haha Melvyn you've just made me laugh, I can just imagine it!!
Yes I'm gutted, we played really well first half and I thought we'd won it then!!...Never mind there will be more disappointments and celebrations to come I'm sure of that!!
Aww missing your better half then? you should take a little Teddy Bear with you, and snuggle up to it....Haha, it must be difficult when you work away, You'll be back home soon enough, Smile and the world smiles with you!
How are you?? Forgot to tell you, had a FGB meeting on Thursday. Before it had to to do Performance management with SIP. What an eyeopener!!! We were gobsmacked to say the least!! we have been made a Lead Practice School, one of only 6 in Trafford!! We are being used by Manchester university as an example school, and our Head is going to lecture there to the students, and he called us 'Exemplary'!!! The CofG and I were so shocked we were speechless!! He was gushing!! I went in to the FGB and made the CofG really work!! I have told him we've got to pull our finger out now!! Thought you might like to know!! It's certainly got the Cof G panicking now!! So maybe things will start to improve now!!!
Yeah, City were very disappointing, but just knew what the game was going to be like when i saw who was refereeing ( steve Bennett ) some very poor decisions by him, I'm surprised he didn't do his famous Party trick of sending someone off!
But having said that City were nowhere near good enough!
At least one City won then....well done!
Have a lovely week Melvyn!
Love
Helen x x x
