July 12, 2015. In early May I decided to learn more about one of the popular infographic tools available on the web because infographics can deliver complex information simply and concisely. This makes them useful for communications professionals delivering key messages in environments where competing demands on audience attention limit the time available to digest information. The viewer can see at a glance:. Whether the top six scorers netted consistently throughout the season or in patches;. A world c...

Politics, philosophy and home economics | Learning is Fun
https://learningisfunblog.wordpress.com/2015/05/12/politics-philosophy-and-home-economics
Words, words, words. Politics, philosophy and home economics. Menheniot-Looe 3rds (60 all out) lost to St Austell 4ths (62-3) by seven wicket. It had been a week of crushing victories, humiliating defeats and the dawning of a new era of leadership. But enough about the general election – we had a cricket season to crack on with. Within half an hour we were 20-5 and it was getting cold. I know that feeling, I thought as I rummaged in my bag for a third sweater. Welcome back, old friend. Sometime first-tea...

New man in | Learning is Fun
https://learningisfunblog.wordpress.com/2015/04/24/new-man-in
Words, words, words. There is nothing quite like walking off a cricket pitch flushed with success to find the person who has come along to watch you for the first time has done a big poo. Let’s start at the beginning. My baby was due to enter the world on February 18th, just a few days into the World Cup. Not ideal timing, but at least he wasn’t interrupting The Ashes. Finally the pavilion doors opened (that’s probably a metaphor too far) and out he came. The moment of triumph was strangely mut...They sa...

Driving rain, blinding sun and batting for dummies | Learning is Fun
https://learningisfunblog.wordpress.com/2014/04/26/driving-rain-blinding-sun-and-batting-for-dummies
Words, words, words. Driving rain, blinding sun and batting for dummies. Calstock 1st XI v Menheniot-Looe 3rd XI: Match abandoned. We are the third team of Menheniot-Looe, a village club in south-east Cornwall. A newcomer to the area 12 months ago, I played a handful of matches as we endured what the club chairman described as a difficult season . Played 20, won 4, lost 14, no result 2. Difficult is one way of putting it. The withdrawal of the league’s 12. And Harry Thompson’s ‘Penguins Stopped Play’.

O, brave new world! | Learning is Fun
https://learningisfunblog.wordpress.com/2014/08/31/o-brave-new-world
Words, words, words. O, brave new world! Calstock 1st XI (204-7) beat Menheniot-Looe 3rd XI (128 all out) by 76 runs. As a pretentious drama graduate and lapsed theatre luvvie, I still try to catch the occasional local show whenever time allows. This week it was the Miracle Theatre Company’s marvellous outdoor production of The Tempest. 8216;O brave new world, which has such people in it! 8216;Let us not burden our remembrances with a heaviness that’s gone.’.

The secret cricketer | Learning is Fun
https://learningisfunblog.wordpress.com/2015/05/18/the-secret-cricketer
Words, words, words. Bude 2nds (257-5) beat Menheniot-Looe 3rds (134-9) by 123 runs. Many literary geniuses have reportedly used ghost writers: Shakespeare, Cartland, and Redknapp being fine examples. The writer of this blog has chosen to do something supposedly more important than standing in a field all day, so I have taken on the role for this week’s game but wish my identity to remain a mystery. Particularly taken with how the showers work, like Neanderthal man discovering fire. As usual two of our r...

Time to go home | Learning is Fun
https://learningisfunblog.wordpress.com/2014/09/08/time-to-go-home
Words, words, words. Time to go home. Tideford 2nd XI (204-3) beat Menheniot-Looe 3rd XI (109 all out) by 95 runs. The bright lights of the pavilion shone out across Fourgates as we finished the final midweek net session of the season. It was not yet 8pm, but it was getting too dark to see the ball. I took one last look around. It was almost time to go home. Loopy leg break before aiming a sneering sledge at the batsman and sauntering off to the pub. There’s the power hitter who nobody wants to bow...

Licence to wang it | Learning is Fun
https://learningisfunblog.wordpress.com/2015/05/24/licence-to-wang-it
Words, words, words. Licence to wang it. Menheniot-Looe 3rds (174-5) beat Gunnislake (163 all out) by 11 runs. Playing cricket is like a marriage. Most of the time it is bloody hard work and you wonder why on earth you signed up in the first place. But every so often, completely out of nowhere, a good day comes along. You get a much-needed win and some points in the bag. Job done. For goodness’ sake, don’t question it. With our run rate flat lining and plenty of wickets still in hand, the skipper stresse...
