Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Day 3 of our new drive, and the workmen think that the camera is keeping tabs on them. It’s not, it was just a good excuse for some time lapse photography and a way for use to see the transformation taking place as we couldn’t be there whilst the work was taking place. Nothing actually happened...
Morgan should be posting this really as he’s recently created a new Minecraft Video showcasing the Top 10 Mineplex Hub secrets. He’s uploaded the video to his Minecraft YouTube channel and now wants to share it with the world. I helped him a little with the video editing and some of the SEO aspects, although...
We’ve been feeling guilty as we haven’t been here to supply the workmen with tea and cakes whilst they’ve been creating a new drive for us. So today I decided to bake some brownies for them. Not just any old brownies either, but delicious salted caramel brownies. The perfect ‘builders brownies’ in fact. Mind you,...
I couldn’t continue with my Wales Coast Path run today, so instead I created an adventure of a different type and decided to try running the length of the River Leri from source to sea. A Change of Plan My usual plan of a turbo trainer session followed by a Coast Path run had to...
Day two of the workmen working on our new drive and yet again we were all out of the house early for work and didn’t return until they had left. No tea and cakes for the workmen from us, but they seem to be getting on well with the job. After the removal of lots...
As Anna and I are both working so much at the moment and things are hectic to say the least at work, we couldn’t be at home while the workmen have been working on our drive. It’s a little weird really as we left the house at 8am and everything was as it always has been...
As a quick follow up to my recent ‘Get Rewarded When you Exercise‘ post I thought I’d let you know that the Bounts scheme has been working well for me. I’ve been gradually amassing points and rather than cash them in when I reached enough points for a £5 voucher decided to hold out for...
As I think I’ve mentioned previously, I’ve been back and forth to the doctors recently for some blood tests. First I was referred by the opticians Second I was due a routine cholesterol check-up Third they asked me back by mistake when they received a letter from my opticians Fourth because of a few unusual...
Since building our house back in 2003, we’ve had diggers move in and destroy our garden several times. There were diggers to install a septic tank, diggers to build a conservatory, diggers to dig up the telephone lines and once again the diggers are back. This time to lay a much needed new drive. We’ve been trying to get...
After months of Base level training over the winter, it’s time to gradually start upping the intensity a little. Nothing too mad yet, just some harder, shorter intervals on the bike and some tempo runs rather than the usual low heart rate MAF zone runs. Sick Bucket Needed! Monday saw the first sunny day for...
