Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
My beloved and very well used Garmin Forerunner 305 has stopped working. I’ve had it since January 2008 and it has been working flawlessy but now it keeps switching itself off. Sometimes it’ll stay on for a while but if I just touch the casing then it shuts down. I guess it could have got...
Just a quick list of some things to do in and around Aberystwyth this Autumn. It isn’t exhaustive of course but it covers our usual haunts and may give you some ideas if you’re at a loose end. Saturday 23rd October Feed the Birds Day – Ynys Hir (10am – 4pm) – make bird feeders/scavenger...
I’ve been on the phone to the support team at Plusnet, my ISP recently over an issue that may or may not have anything to do with them. It is nice that they have an English support team as it certainly makes dealing with such issues a whole lot easier, so whilst speaking with them...
I’ve been having a bit of a nightmare with connectivity recently. For some reason on a few occasions I’ve been unable to access any of my sites (or my clients sites) on a particular web-server – Watch out, this may get a bit techy! The first time it happened I was still able to connect to sites...
Honestly! I am! I know, who’d have thought it that as I approach my 40th birthday I’d become a model in a nude calendar, whatever next! Unfortunately (or probably fortunately for most of you), I can’t show you any of the photos yet as it is being sold to raise money for the ITU and...
I did the Bristol Bike Fest on Saturday, a Mountain Bike Endurance race in Ashton Court, Bristol. Jay and I rode the course at a very easy pace on Friday evening and it seemed really nice. There hadn’t been any rain for ages so it was bone dry with loads of lovely twisty single track....
I hope everyone enjoyed the Bristol Bike Fest on Saturday. I certainly did, the weather and the course were perfect. I was riding solo in the afternoon 4 hour race so only took photos in the morning, but they are now up and available in the Bristol Bike Fest October 2010 Photo Gallery. They should...
I’ve got funny shaped feet, but Crocs seem to suit me perfectly. They now have a decent range of footwear too, including some that I quite like the look of. They aren’t cheap, and there are plenty of ‘cheap’ imitations out there, but Anna recently bought me a couple of pairs of genuine Crocs. One...
I was working in Penrhyncoch yesterday, busy gardening in the sunshine. The plan was to finish at around 6pm and then either ride up to Pendam to meet the others at 7pm for a night ride, or have a bite to eat and drive up there to meet them. I was opting for the latter...
It’s been pretty dry here for the last week, but winter is coming and I’m fed up of getting eyes full of mud when I go out riding so it was time to fit some mudguards to my bike. Colour coordinated Crud Fast Fender, Crud catcher and a rear mudguard all fitted and ready for...
