It may have been minus 4ºC and snowing but that doesn’t stop me. In fact, I was quite warm in my 3/2mm summer suit once I got working fairly hard. Even my bare hands were OK. First I played in the small waves as a warm up, then I did 8x ¼ mile intervals with ¼ mile recoveries into Borth...
It was Morgans birthday at the weekend. Quite how he got to be 13 already I’ll never know. It was also half term last week so Anna and I took Friday off so that we could have a long weekend away. We therefore headed off after work on Thursday to my parents house just North...
It doesn’t seem that long since we had to say goodbye to Robbie – a long standing and much loved member of the family. We really miss her so it didn’t take long to start putting a plan in place for a replacement. Now Robbie was always a bit of a weird cat, with a...
I haven’t mentioned my aquarium or the aquascape within it for quite a while. It was all looking really good lately though and the plants, fish and shrimp inhabitants were all doing well.

After a weekend of flat water paddling in North Wales, I just couldn’t resist getting out for a play in the waves once I was home. Actually, I went for a run along Offa’s Dyke first, but I haven’t blogged about that yet. So, while you wait for the Offa’s Dyke blog post here are a...
The fact that things have been organised so that the Colwyn Bay Ski races and the Llyn Padarn Kayak Time Trials occur on the same weekend makes it worthwhile making the 2 hour trip to North Wales for me. Not that the 2 hour trip to North Wales isn’t always worthwhile. It always is and the...
This fix for a non-responsive Garmin Fenix 3 that I’m about to explain may not work for all situations but it seems to have helped me. The other day, my Garmin Fenix 3 that I love just decided not to turn on. I went to start a workout, saw the screen flash on and off...
