Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
It was the last day of Half Term yesterday (if you don’t count the weekend) and I was off work with Morgan whilst Anna was working at the University. We had planned a day at the leisure centre in Machynlleth. We had hoped to go kayaking but that was fully booked so plumped just for...
I’m happy to report that despite spending my day working at the University on Morgan’s birthday he did save some lego for me to help him build. So that’s exactly what we did yesterday. I started the day with a run, the slowest I’ve ever been around that course so not a great start, but...
I’m going to be cycling from John O’Groats to Land’s End (JOGLE) later in the year raising money for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Limited.. You can sponsor me here. I’ll be writing more about it over the coming weeks once I’ve had chance to take a proper look at the route myself and start working...
Can you believe that it’s 9 years ago that Morgan first came into this world… Mad hey, where does the time go? Unfortunately for me, my new job at the University – I’ll post about it here soon – meant that I wouldn’t be at home with Morgan for his birthday. We had originally planned...
Well, that’s the first day of the Half Term off to a good start. My parents left after their weekend visit at around 10am, so Morgan and I headed over to the beach with his remote control monster truck. It was cold, windy and deserted on the beach, but the skies were blue, the sun...
Our weekend pretty much began on Thursday afternoon when I finished work at my new job in the Sports & Exercise Department at the Univeristy and headed home. My parents were on their way up from Gloucestershire and were collecting Morgan from school so I was able to get home a little earlier than usual,...
Well, that was a bit of a shock to the system. I replied to a thread on Facebook the other day about cycling and how most people loathe the Turbo Trainer saying that I actually quite like mine. I said something along the lines of It’s more time efficient There’s less to set up and...
We have a night hike planned for the Scouts soon so thought we had better recce the route that I had in mind sometime soon. Sunday afternoon looked like the best time to do it as we would have a couple of hours free. I did my usual early morning run and then swim followed...
As is often the case in our hectic lives, plans changed at the last minute again yesterday. I was supposed to go to the gym and Anna was going to take Morgan to cubs in Aberyswyth and then go back to work whilst she waited to collect him at 7:30pm. Had this happened, I wouldn’t...
I didn’t manage to get any good photos of the fire on Borth Bog this morning as I didn’t have much time to do so, but here are a few that I did manage to snap. There are some here from other residents too: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-mid-wales-26185361
