Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
The Ceredigion Moth Group is up and running and we seem to be making some progress. I’ve set up a mailing list so that we can all keep in touch with each other and we have been sending our records from 2009 to the new County Recorder. I only had a fairly small number of...
Thanks to constant pestering from Morgan we have done our Big Garden Birdwatch. Morgan sat there quietly for a whole hour and helped me count the birds we saw. There was nothing unusual and all in all it was a fairly good representation of what we normally get in the garden, with only a couple...
It looks as though my hard work on the turbo trainer may be paying off as I seem to be making some improvements. I did my 1 minute interval session yesterday, where after a warm up I try to do 7 repetitions of 1 minute hard and 1 minute easy. After a little bit of...
Yesterday was a good day. First I took Morgan to school and then worked at the university invigilating exams in the morning. Not the most stressful of jobs as I simply sit in a room with a student or two, keep an eye on them whilst they do their exams and keep a check on...
I’ve always wanted to do Yoga or Tai Chi or something similar to help with my overall flexibility, but I’ve never quite had the nerve to actually do it. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against spending time in a room with lithe, supple, leotard clad girls, but I’m not so sure what they...
We went to see the pantomime at Aberystwyth Arts Centre yesterday. It was Jack and the Beanstalk and I was pleasantly surprised. The pantomime is put on by The Wardens Dramatic Society who have been producing shows in Aberystwyth since Jack and the Beanstalk in 1983. The productions are directed by Richard Cheshire, who also...
Sat in the living room yesterday morning I saw a big flock of Curlew fly over the house and land in the field behind us. I was then determined to get some photos of these and the other coastal and estuarine birds around here. After a quick visit to A&E we went for a walk...
I haven’t been out on my bike for ages. There are various reasons for this, my full-suspension bike has had various mechanical issues that I’m still solving, my car won’t start and I haven’t had the time. So, it was nice to finally get out for an off-road ride yesterday, and the snow-covered landscape made...
Like people all over the country, we made the most of the lovely winter weather and went for a walk on New Years Day. Nothing too adventurous as we had Morgan and ‘Granny’ with us so we just had a little stroll around the Ynyshir Nature Reserve. There were lots of Canada Geese on around...
Within the pages of this weblog I often mention gadgets that bring together fitness and geekery. Heart rate monitors and GPS devices, fitness training software, Virtual Reality Turbo Trainers and such like. I like them. I like having such gadgets and I also extol the value of such devices. Not only do they allow me...
