Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
It’s always difficult to do a proper test of new parts or new kit for the bike. There are always so many variables at play that it’s not easy to say for sure whether or not these things make a difference, especially when testing in the real world and especially when you don’t have a...
I know it sounds silly, but now that I have a car with remote locking from the keyfob, when I get home and go to open the front door I keep looking for a button to press on my keyring! I’d never missed remote locking on my car until I had it and now I...
As many of you may know, I’ve had numerous problems with the altimeter on my Forerunner 910XT. Since lusting after the Forerunner 910XT back in October 2011, I bought one in February 2012. I then wrote a glowing report on the Forerunner 910XT with my first impressions – it did just about everything I wanted it...

We usually don’t put our Christmas decorations up until after my birthday, but seeing as we had been to Bristol for the Christmas visit, have a busy week this week and had an evening to spare we thought we’d put them up last night. We stuck mainly with the tried and tested plan with the...

If you can’t decide which new iMac to get, then the decision process I went through whilst deciding which iMac to buy may just hep you. That’s why I’m sharing it here. Mac vs PC Before you Windows guys tell me to ‘get a PC’, it won’t work. I’ve used Apple Macintosh computers ever since my...
I’m forever advising clients about online security and the importance of secure, unique passwords, but it is amazing how lax some people can be with their passwords and how blasé they are with regards to online security. The Problem with Passwords Passwords of course aren’t the ideal way of protecting our accounts online for a...
