Non-Stop Sunday
Phew, that was a busy day even by my standards. Saturday was pretty busy as it goes with various garden carpentry repairs but I did get to chill with a nice big curry in the evening. Surf Ski Session Sunday started early with a Surf Ski session from Ynyslas to Borth. It was a lovely...
Garden Carpentry Repairs
Nothing seems to last long around here. Anything metal simply rusts away in no time and even wood seems to rot pretty quickly.

An Active Tuesday
That turned out to be a good day. After missing out on some fun yesterday as I was busy with work and other appointments I made up for it today. I was toying with the idea of continuing my Coast Path run but the weather didn’t look like much fun for most of the day...
New Windsurf Transportation
After some catastrophic transport failure at the weekend it was time to splash out on a new vehicle to get my windsurfing kit to the beach. And look what a beauty I got! It’s ‘Lamborghini Yellow’ for a start. Handling should be great thanks to the dual-density moulded grips and with 110ltr capacity it should...
