Just had an e-mail announcing another delay in the delivery of my Elonex PC. Will now be "the last week in August" instead of sometime around now...
Also awaiting delivery of GRANTA 102, which I mentioned in an earlier post. One of the features of this item is a 10 page comic strip by David Heatley. This follows the creation of a classic burger and fries...
You can read more on David's BLOG here.
Below are the final frames of the strip...The blog also features some of David's other work, particularly a wonderful map of Jackson Heights.

Geography and Isobars Image Copyright: BBC - visit http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather for the latest forecast ! An isobar is a line joining places which are experiencing equal atmospheric pressure. Last night was a very windy night down in Norfolk, and across most of the country - the synoptic chart above is for mid-day today, but yesterday's chart showed the classic pattern of a mid-latitude depression. The sycamore tree in my garden lost all the leaves it had been clinging on to, and bushes were tapping against the windows. On the way home from a fancy dress party, my Noddy Holder hat blew off and I ended up in someone's front garden chasing it round in a gyre... Of course the storms were nothing compared to the problems created by the weather in the Philippines. See this BBC NEWS article for more on the effects of Hurricane Durian. Interestingly, durian is one of the top search phrases on Google for leading people to GeographyPages - not sure why... Geography and Music (Cont.....

Picture: David Rayner CfBT Conference for Geography for new KS3 Curriculum Thanks to the 70+ Heads of Geography and other colleagues in various capacities who attended the CfBT Eastern Region Conference at the Holiday Inn in Norwich yesterday. It was hard work (especially as I followed it up with 2 hours plus at a parents evening...) but enjoyable, and good to talk to people and get their ideas for how they were going to be "creatively subversive...." Particular thanks to David Rayner and Ruth Totterdell, the National Subject Leads, my RSA colleagues John Harrison and Katharine Hutchinson, John Lyon from the GA, and Jon Wolton from the RGS, and of course all the delegates, particularly Lucy and Clare. A few images below, taken by me: What to ditch / add ? Katharine's 'significance' workshop Importance statement John Harrison getting "funky" Ruth in the morning... The venue... GA welcome banner... If you were present and want any other copies of the d...

Stairway to Devon Finally found a spare hour while watching PANORAMA TRUE BRITS, to write-up the geo-highlights of the holiday week. Spent a week in Dartmouth in late August in a house overlooking the harbour and the lower ferry. We had good weather most of the time, despite a string of depressions. Some highlights: Overnight stay at the Oatlands Chaser in Weybridge – recommended. There was a lot of traffic, as expected, heading to the SW, and ended diverting over the Newbury bypass and past Stonehenge in a queue. It was a wet day, and splashed our way through Totnes, and made it to our house above Bayard’s Cove overlooking the RIA that makes up the lower stretches of the River Dart. Lunch thanks to RIVERFORD ORGANICS , BURT’S CRISPS and ROOKBEARE ice cream. Click the HOW potato on the Burt’s website to see how they are made (and check the pack to see who fried them: mine were fried by Mike) Crabbing in Dartmouth harbour: apparently they love smoked bacon. Arri...
