Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Work continues on our new drive. We missed the action yesterday thanks to a technological faults – for some reason my GoPro keeps stopping partway through a timelapse recording session, I don’t now why, but it always seems to stop after taking 197 photos. It went through a phase of doing this every time for...
I posted a couple of months ago about the new Advanced Running Dynamics from Garmin. I essentially said that whilst the new metrics such as Vertical Ratio and Ground Contact Time Balance were interesting in their own right, there wasn’t really much that one could use the information for. The Run Dynamics metrics might tell...
It’s still busy at work for us so we haven’t been able to be here whilst the workmen are in creating our new drive. It’s all going well though and after a few minor alterations and final preparations things are now ready for the tarmac. The timelapse video starts today with the setting of the...
Day 5 of our drive transformation and the heavy machinery was out in force. Once again we couldn’t be there as we were at work, but we left salted caramel chocolate brownies out for the workmen and headed off to work. It turned out to be a lovely sunny day for the workmen, if a little...
Day 3 of our new drive, and the workmen think that the camera is keeping tabs on them. It’s not, it was just a good excuse for some time lapse photography and a way for use to see the transformation taking place as we couldn’t be there whilst the work was taking place. Nothing actually happened...
Day two of the workmen working on our new drive and yet again we were all out of the house early for work and didn’t return until they had left. No tea and cakes for the workmen from us, but they seem to be getting on well with the job. After the removal of lots...
As Anna and I are both working so much at the moment and things are hectic to say the least at work, we couldn’t be at home while the workmen have been working on our drive. It’s a little weird really as we left the house at 8am and everything was as it always has been...

We had another fun night at the Panto in Aberystwyth last night. In fact, it was a busy day all round, but it was finished off with a trip to the Panto which is always fun. This year we went as part of a group with the Aberystwyth Silver band along with Annamarie and Kim. Annamarie...
I’ve just had a second attempt at the TrainerRoad workout Goddard. I tried this last week and couldn’t quite decide if I was having a slow recovery from illness or was just being lazy. I didn’t manage to finish the whole of the workout last week. I cut out the last round of spin ups and then didn’t...
