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...
I don’t know if being 45 entitles me to become a grumpy old man, but it was my birthday last week, I was 45 and if this past week is anything to go by then I think it does. Opticians First up I had my usual bi-annual eye test. I knew that my eyesight was...

We had another fun evening at the Aberystwyth Beekeepers Association Honey Show earlier this week. The format for the event was pretty much the same as previous years with the following categories: Bottle of mead. Two one pound jars of light honey. Two one pound jars of medium honey. Two one pound jars of dark...
After our success with fishing last week, I decided that it was time to get kitted up properly. I had after all been using Morgan’s rod and reel which was a cheap set bought from the market. Perfectly serviceable but we were sharing. I do have some other bits and pieces as well so it was...
We managed to harvest our honey today. I popped out this morning and put the clearer board on and then again early evening to collect the frames of honey. There’s only one hive in our apiary and it had two supers on it with capped frames in, but only about 14 frames in total worth...
