Who wants to see me nude?
I wonder if with a title like that this post gets more views than normal? Well, not being one to disappoint, you can if you want by buying the Coast 2 Coast 2011 Calendar. I posed for the photos a while back and then produced the calendar for them which has now been printed. As...
It’s Beginning to Feel a Lot Like Christmas
We had a busy day yesterday. First was a trip to the local Christmas Fete where the Beavers had a stall. Morgan was donating some of his old toys and Anna had made chocolates to sell so we turned up to give those to them and also wandered around with Jamie and Cameron whilst their...
Google Earth 6
I’ve just been paying with some of the new features of Google Earth 6 – Well, it is a Friday afternoon. The latest incarnation of the Google Earth application has a few interesting features that I hadn’t seen before, although I’m sure some of them were available in earlier versions. First up there’s 3D trees! Google...
Printing Our Weblog
We’ve now been blogging since 2005 and my blogging intensities seem to go from strength to strength. It’s surprising how much happens in the life of a small family living a ‘Simple Life of Luxury’ in Wales and I’m forever encouraged by the number of people who read this weblog. I’m not saying the content...
Geocaching in the Snow
I did try geocaching – unsuccessfully it has to be said – in 6 feet of snow in Slovenia once, but it was a little easier in a couple of inches here in Wales. Saturday was a glorious sunny morning with snow on the ground so after an FTF on a puzzle cache Morgan and...
Freezing at Aberystwyth Fun Fair
Despite the sub-zero temperatures we braved the fair in Aberystwyth last night. As usual we bumped into (literally on the bumper cars!) many of Morgans friends from school and we all had fun freezing half to death watching the kids on the rides.
Another Geocaching FTF
Spurred on by our success with an FTF on the Gamma puzzle cache, I started work on deciphering another puzzle cache in the series. This time it was the Omega cache which had the following clues. This is hard, and of course not at the published coords, this puzzle stood uncracked between 1918 and 2010,...
Home Time Geocaching
Morgan and I went geocaching again after school on Thursday. I’d already got an FTF on a puzzle cache on the way to school and did a quick cache and dash near to Gogerddan woods. Then after collecting Morgan from shcool we drove to one of my favourite little woodlands just outside of Bow Street...
A New Temperature Record
I mentioned yesterday that we had recorded the coldest November temperature at -5.6ºC since we started recording weather here in Borth and Ynyslas with the Borth Weather Station. Well, we beat that this morning with a new low temperature of -8.3ºC. That is not only the coldest November temperature, but the all time lowest temperature too. ON top...
