Scorchio
We might not be hitting the same sort of temperatures here as other parts of the UK, but so far today in the shade we have hit 33.7ºC which is more than hot enough for me!

Anniversary in Aberaeron
It was our 2nd wedding anniversary yesterday, so we took the day off and headed down the coast to Aberaeron for lunch and an ice-cream by the harbour. It seems mean to leave Morgan in nursery and have a day to oursleves, but once every now and then it is quite nice and it makes...
Time for a timber deck
We’ve probably missed the summer, but it is time for some home improvements. Organising these projects always takes me longer than actually getting them done, but some of the timber ready for a new timber deck arrived today. With Shem building it for us (hopefully next week) we could have a nice new decking area...
Trip to Fantasy Farm Park

Cuckoo, Cuckoo

More sunshine
Another lovely day here, so we made the most of the location we live in and took a walk across to the beach for a picnic in the dunes and some fun on the beach. All followed by more messing around in the garden and another BBQ… All of this relaxing in the sun has...
Fun in the Sun
What a glorious weekend..No wind which isn’t great for me, but with lovely sunshine and decent temperatures it was nice to simply chill in the garden and have a nice BBQ in the evening with a few of the neighbours. This did of course require some frantic shopping in the morning for BBQ supplies and...
Blood Tests
After 3 months on choloesterol lowering statins I had another blood test. The cholesterol levels are down from 6.2 to 4.8. The doctor wants them down below 4 so I’m now on slightly higher strength statins. At least they are doing the trick.
