Chickpea Cakes and Tomato Raita Originally uploaded by wjharrison77. So much for my weekend in the garden. It’s still raining and very windy. Exposure to these conditions would undoubtably traumatise the lettuce who survived the flying greenhouse incident yesterday. Will give their little nerves another day to recover sitting on the garage window. Hmmmm.. There [...]

Mixed Day

wedding 018Originally uploaded by wjharrison77. A very mixed day, indeed. The mountain bike ride was spectacularly good. Despite driving to work in pouring rain, the clouds dispersed by 10am and we had a beautifully sunny day for the cycle. The wind made the route harder going than it had been on Monday but we all [...]

butter beansOriginally uploaded by wjharrison77. Watching the skies with a worried face this evening. Tomorrow myself and 19 others (mixture of pupils and staff) are mountain-biking around Loch Moire. Did a trial run on Monday. It was incredibly beautiful and very muddy. What we do not need this evening is rain. And if there’s anyone [...]
Cawdor Castle & A Recipe
Posted in Recipes, Travel on May 15, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I’m pooped! I and thirty second year pupils spent the day at Cawdor Castle. I was slightly nervous about the trip as I didn’t know if the castle and beautiful grounds would entertain a large group of 14 year olds for a whole day. My fears were unfounded – we had an amazing day! Firstly [...]
Teaching Critical Writing 2
Posted in teaching on May 13, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
One of my standard grade classes are writing critical essays on MacBeth at the moment. The aim of Friday’s lesson was to reinforce what I had taught to them that week about contextualising and explaining quotations, and also to remind them of what they had learnt earlier in the year about topic sentences and the purpose [...]

lentilsOriginally uploaded by wjharrison77. The fourth years and the seniors are now on study leave giving me lots of free periods to sort out my room and develop materials. Haven’t quite started yet… It seems I work better under pressure. But not only is next week the school’s activity week during which I will be [...]
Flickr Failure

wedding 006Originally uploaded by wjharrison77. My intentions of joining thousands of others in photographically recording my Saturday failed miserably. Well, not miserably at all. It failed because I was having such a good time I forgot to take pictures! Managed to capture waking up, checking my veggie garden (first year growing – no idea what’s [...]
Elections & Flickr Saturday
Posted in Uncategorized on May 4, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
So SNP are now the largest political party in Scotland. I’m slightly stunned. I was so sure that voters would shy away from major change when actually faced with the ballot slip. Are we heading towards Independence? Not sure how I feel about that. Though I enjoy the benefits of being part of the Union, [...]
Face Lift
Posted in teaching on May 4, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Though our school is in a beautiful setting the building itself looks grim in the extreme. On the back of the HMI inspection we have finally managed to get some funds to improve certain aspects. The above is my favourite change. Some of our pupils have been working with a French graffiti artist on [...]
Pork Scappati
Posted in Recipes on May 1, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Apparently “scappati” means “small bird” in Italian. Don’t know any Italians at the moment to ask if this is true. All I know is that these pork parcels look very much like little roast pigeons when they come out of the oven. I make this dish often, especially for company. It’s adapted from a [...]
