Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Instead of wasting your time doom scrolling through social media when bars, restaurants, and several shops are closed, why not put it to good use and earn some extra cash? These are some of the cheapest and easiest ways to make some extra money without leaving your house, from renting out your driveway to proofreading...
It’s only going to be short-lived, but it was summertime here at Ynyslas today. It was pretty chilly to start with which was ideal as I had a run session to do. I therefore got that in before it warmed up. It was nothing too exciting, just a run towards Tre Ddol and back with...
There’s very little happening here at the moment. Just the usual. We are working and schooling from home – although Morgan does go back to school for real next week. We’ve pretty much exhausted all of the possible walks from home. Fortunately, living on the coast does mean that the scenery changes daily so walking...
Despite the current environmental worries and some push back against the disposable society that we live in, it it still often difficult to justify repairing modern items. It’s often cheaper to replace them. Especially as replacement often results in an upgrade at the same time. Many things simply aren’t made to be easily repairable. Not...
As a society, we have certainly become a lot more health-conscious these days. There is certainly no shortage of information around health and fitness in 2021, enabling people to manage their all-around health a lot more easily and seek new ideas and inspiration as and when they need it.

2020 has been an odd year and for many a Covid-secure Christmas was going to be much quieter than usual. Not so for us as we usually spend it at home with just the three of us. So, the various coronavirus precautions, lock-downs and tiered restrictions didn’t really change our Christmas plans. Just the three...
There aren’t many plus sides to having reached the BIG 5-0. There is however one that I had been waiting for. Today I got confirmation of the fact in the post. To lay the foundations of the story, many years ago when I was a student I had to take out a student loan. Nothing...
As promised, here’s a photo of the 3D Woden World Map now that I’ve completed it. There are a few more airplanes and boats that I could add but I think I’ll leave it as it is so that it doesn’t get too busy. It complements the Weather Clock perfectly in our hall.
A Birthday Twist It’s always nice to get some birthday surprises. Mine started a day early this year with a twisted ankle on a run in the woods. Not the sort of surprise I was hoping for and it meant no training for a few days. Not ideal as I’d planned on doing a fair...
