Springtime!!
I may be jumping the gun here a little bit, but ‘Spring has Sprung!!!. The sun is shining there are lambs in the fields and the daffodils are out in the garden. All a little early, but that’s global warming for you! 🙂

Fish tank is coming on well
My new fish-tank is coming on well. Not too many occupants yet as I’m more interested in creating a natural looking picture with lots of plant growth. Here’s a photo of the progress so far. The plants are doing well due to the bright lights, CO2 and nutrients. Once the light have been on for...
Fish Tank Relocation
For my sins I have done quite a bit of work over the last 7 years for a local ‘celebrity’ who owns a large mansion just south of Aberystwyth. However, this source of employment has all but dried up now that he and his family have moved back to Germany. I was of course left...
Borth, Wales – Weather Station Goes Live
It has been a busy old christmas here for me working on the now up and running Borth and Ynyslas weather station. I had already set up the weather station itself but have now connected the weather station to a PC and produced several web-pages that provide up to the minute weather data for Borth,...
Snow!

Rain Rain Rain
That seems to be all we have had lately. Autumn is definately here and winter is just around the corner. It’s that time of year when this part of the world seems to have closed down. The shops that appear in Borth over the summer have gone without a trace, the windows on the sea-side...
Weather With You…
If there’s one thing that everyone knows about Wales, it is that we get more than our fair share of weather. Indeed, today we have had gorgeous sunshine, torrential downpours, light winds, gales force winds and probably a few other bits and pieces of weather too. This may well explain our fascination for the weather,...
Swell of the Century
OK, so ‘swell of the century’ is probably a bit of an exaggeration as I have only been here for 11 years and I’ve seen bigger swells than that, but ‘swell of the last year or so’ didn’t have quite the same ring to it. Come to think of it it wasn’t even that big,...
