The big guy
This is Patrick Bordeleau, a proper NHL player who now plays for the Devils.
We played Coventry Blaze tonight, the 3rd period in particular was [url=http://edtechie.net/lostsharks/devils/its-all-your-fault/]eventful[/url]
Still sunny
Reflections in the Taff looking very un-Autumn like today
Kurtz got off the boat
This is the new hydro electric station at the weir by me. On a sunny day it reminds me of apocalypse now.
Home made
So this is home made jam made from blackberries grown in my garden on home baked bread. Cue The Good Life music
Brief sunshine
There have been reports of heatwaves across the country. Not in Wales. Yesterday it rained so hard that daughter got sent home from school (there was a fire alarm & they all got soaked). Today on my morning run there was a brief spell of sunshine then it just sort of clouded over. So this photo represents the past couple of days – teasing glimpses of sunshine
Vendetta time
It was the first home game of the season tonight, against Braehead Clan. Trevor Hendrikx who played for us for 2 seasons & is now at Clan was returning for the first time. It’s fair to say he’s quite bitter about being traded. Within the first couple of minutes he started a fight with Lord (his old coach), and then refused to shake hands at the end. His penalty led to us scoring and we beat them 5-1, so in the end it wasn’t a smart move.
Still, there’s not many jobs where you visit the old place & have a big fisticuffs fight with your old boss, and not get arrested for it.

I got an iPhone 6 this week so treated myself to a couple of cases. I can now decide if it’s a “books and tea” or “smash things up” kinda day
ALT awardees
Maren Deepwell had cleverly organised to get as many of the previous winners of ALT awards on stage to mark the 10 years of the prizes – here they are
Virtually connecting
