Games

Games of Yesteryear I’m old enough to remember the first arcade games. Things like Pacman, Donkey Kong and Track and Field that first appeared in pubs, clubs and for me the Ice Rink in the 1980’s. You’d insert your money into the slot over and over again trying in vain to get the high score. They...

Optical Illusions in the Garden – Honey I Shrunk the Kids

We convinced Morgan to get off his computer one sunny day in the holidays. With his friends James they were banished to the garden to take some optical illusion photos. They had a good time out there once they were actually out in the real world. Here are some of their photos.

Tough Mudder – A spectators perspective

Beach Fun

More beach fun after school at Borth. New Flip Flops, New Surf Ski, New Paddles, Super Sunny Beach, Crazy Warm Waters. If only all Tuesdays were like this. A little more practice on my ski. It’s still very wobbly and still difficult to remount. My chest still hurts too though. Maybe a couple of sessions...

Tough Mudder

Well we did it… Completed the London West Tough Mudder and raised loads of money for Diabetes UK. It was all Rebecca’s fault! She has Type 1 Diabetes and talked me into doing it with her and a couple of her friends. I didn’t really know that much about the event itself when I agreed...
