Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Friday was a busy one for us as usual. A 75 minute, fairly tough turbo trainer session first thing for me (after an hour or so of work). Today’s session was Mount Hope -2 from TrainerRoad which consisted of 4x 10 minute threshold intervals. One just below threshold, one at threshold, one just above threshold...
Is it just me, or does this annoy you as well: “you have inputted†Surely that’s not right?! In my mind, ‘input’ is a variation of the verb ‘to put’ and the past tense of put is put, so the past tense of input should be input. “I shall put my foot in it...

Hooray, I’ve got spotty toes. Kind of summery, like little bubbles in the sea.
Another packed weekend for us with plenty to do, both recreationally and in the garden. It turned out quite productive though. A Morning Washout Saturday was a complete washout in the morning with dark skies and pouring rain, so after my usual chores and some work on the computer I jumped on the turbo trainer...
As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, now that I’ve gone past the end of the Cambrian Coast Railway line on my Wales Coast Path run project I’m now relying on bus services instead of the train. This means that the logistics of getting back to where I’ve started from each time are getting a little more difficult....
May is the month where things really take off in Beekeeping. Colonies should be building up, the queen should be busy laying eggs, brood should be developing and emerging, the honey flow starts as more and more flowers are out and regular inspections become necessary in order to keep on top of swarming. With fertile drones...
