Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
We’re slowly getting there with our friendly cats! It’s taken a while but as stray and semi-feral rescue cats it’s not been easy. Parkin the fat ginger tom still won’t let us anywhere near him, but Cosmo and Luna are gradually beginning to tolerate us! They all line up in the hall waiting to be...
Most people are thrilled by the thought of going on holiday. This could be because it’s an opportunity for them to unapologetically put their feet up or because they’re curious about the many destinations that the world has to offer. However, seeing as people tend to have work schedules, bills, and responsibilities, they aren’t able...
The world is a beautiful, wondrous place full of exciting landscapes and cultures. From food to sights, from sounds to textures, there is so much to see and explore in the world. Travelling the world is a dream, and though many of us cannot afford the whole world, we can save up and splurge for...
The 2018 drought and heatwave continues. There was a brief respite over the past few days and that maybe partly my fault. The lack of rain prompted me to do some work on the Borth & Ynyslas weather station website pages by adding a ‘rainfall’ data page. For some reason I never added this when I...
The results are out from the Box End Quadrathlon and I did OK. Time for something of an analysis. The official results are here: http://www.quadracracing.co.uk/images/2018-Quad.pdf, but I’ve added a rank column for each of the disciplines as I like to see that, so here they are with the ranks added. As you can see: I had a...
The Box End Quadrathlon was always going to be a fast affair. Before we even got there we were notified that Ettiene Stott, the 2012 Olympic Gold Medallist in kayaking was going to be competing. The race itself was also a World Cup event and the current World Quadrathlon Champion Ferenc Csima would be racing too. Bryce...
Nothing to see here, just a baby seagull on the drive.
The 2018 Heatwave continues and the week has been full of days in the sea and out in the hills. The weather was a little more bearable last week with temperatures only into the mid 20’s rather than the 30’s. The beach has been as gorgeous as ever and mid-week it’s possible to have it...
The sky is blue and the sun is shining once again. 22ºC at the moment and we must be getting used to this as it doesn’t feel hot, just pleasantly warm. Unusually though there are some white fluffly clouds in the sky today. Things are looking OK in the garden with some nice bright colours despite...
Another good day at the office here. Topped off with a nice surprise as a decent sea breeze filled in. Barefoot and board-shorts once again and this time on board my big windsurf kit too. I actually rigged far too big really as I was overpowered with my 6.7m sail most of the time. I...
