Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I’ve been waiting for Al to tell you about this but I’ve given up waiting. We finally got around to ordering our new bedroom furniture. With limited choice around here we had to get it from MFI but we found just what we were after and I think we managed to get a fairly good...
I had a nice night ride on my bike last night which gave me a chance to try out my new lights. They worked perfectly (and so they should at that price). I only really used the spotlight and just tried out the flood light towards the end of the ride. What I really need...
As regular readers of the Blog will know, Anna and I enjoy our trips to the Scottish islands, and even spent our honeynoon camping in a van on the Outer Hebrides… Well, when you live in a sleepy seaside hamlet in West Wales trying to find a quiet, relaxing place for holidays means we have...
Just a quicky moan about MacDonalds! We were in Aber on Sunday and after we’d been to buy our new bedroom furniture (yeh!) we stopped of at MacDonalds for lunch. It was quite busy so we didn’t bother to go in and went through the drive through then drove to the beach to eat it....
We hear a lot about what Al is up to these days but don’t think me and Morgan were sat around doing nothing. On Saturday we had a day out on the bus, only into Aberystwyth, but Morgan enjoyed the ride. I don’t know what it is about Morgan and buses but everytime he is...
Not as exciting as it sounds! Every year the university print a year planner for all the offices to use. This year there is a picture (quite a small one!) of a windsurfer in the top left corner. After careful examination I have concluded that it is definitely taken at Borth and given the sail,...
I was set the task of getting mum a new Dyson vacuum cleaner. The one we decided was the best option was the DC18 which is a new slimline model with the new ball technology making it nice and easy to manoeuvre around furniture. This sells for about £280 from Dyson and most high street...
For the first time in a long time Morgan went to bed early last night and stayed there! Suddenly I had a huge need for chocolate and Alan kindly offered to take his bike for a ride and go and get some……just an excuse to go out on his bike but I certainly wasn’t gong...
I was ill last week and did very little work on Friday, but I did find the energy to pit my new bike together which arrived from Evans Cycles that afternoon. In fact there wasn’t much to do, the pedals needed fitting, the handlebars needed aligning and the headset tightened and I made a few...
As I’ve mentioned before I’ve become a bzzagent which involves trying out new products. One of the products I’ve been asked to try recently is Danone activia yoghurt. This youghurt comes in a variety of flavours and is widely available. The claim is that the special digestive bacteria help maintain a health digestive tract and...
