Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Just a few photos from what turned out to be a Sunny Sunday Spin on our bikes this morning. It started off grey and cold as we got our excuses in at the leisure centre. We then took a circuitous route out of Aberystwyth along the cycle path and then onto the road to Llanilar....
Another day with Anna at work at the weekend so no running along the Coast path for me, but at least it wasn’t raining so I was able to be a little productive and spent all day in the garden trying to get it under control. Morgan helped out for a little while as well,...
It’s been quiet here recently. Nothing to blog about really. We’ve all had some sort of lurgy to one extent or another. It completely wiped me out for a few days and of course stopped me training. Anna and Morgan have had it it too, just not quite so bad. Beekeeping I’m gradually getting back...
Hive Life…. Spring must be on it’s way at last, and beekeeping once again seems to be on the agenda. We were all supposed to be giving a lecture to the beekeepers beginners course last night, but I’ve been suffering with the most viscous of lurgies and despite my best efforts, there was no way...
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’ve just noticed that as my phone died during my run in the Ceredigion Hills on Saturday, it did manage to take one last photo. So here it is, my view looking SW over the Ceredigion Hills from the summit of Moel y Llyn. Ceredigion Hills
Anna was working on Saturday as it was an Open Day at the University, so that mean that for the third week in a row I was unable to continue with my Coast Path Run project. Someone had to be at home to look after Morgan, but we did decide that it would be OK...
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...
After all of the Timelapse photography with our new drive being built I thought I’d try some of a sunset. We do get amazing sunsets here so why not try to record some and share them with the world. Sunday was a gorgeous day and after a hectic weekend we finally had a bit of...
It was a little difficult to fit my usual weekend activities in this weekend but we managed it. Friday was a manic day thanks to the Eisteddfod that Morgan was playing in. Saturday was just as frantic as it was Morgan’s laser tag birthday party. Jay, Charlie and Jack were visiting for the weekend too....
