Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
St Neots, in Cambridgeshire, and the British Sprint Triathlon Championships were in town. Once again we found ourselves getting up early in a Premier Inn Hotel room ready to head off to do a fairly high profile race. Not only was it the British Championships, but it was also a qualifier for the World Championships...
Morgan’s school was closed on election day so that it could be used as a polling station. This seems silly to us as I’m sure a portacabin in the park adjacent to the school would be more than sufficient for a polling station rather than closing down the whole school, but Morgan obviously wasn’t complaining.

Things are heating up in the garden.
BusyContacts I use BusyContacts from the folks at BusyMac on my Mac in place of the built in OSX Contacts app. It works in much the same way as any other Contact Manager.

Another busy bank holiday weekend for us, but we did manage to squeeze in the finding of a quick geocache in order to get the 15 years of geocaching souvenir. In order to get this you simply had to find any geocache on May 2nd or 3rd. The reason for this was that on May...

I can’t run at the moment due to a case of Plantar Fasciitis, so my usual run, swim and bacon sandwich on a Sunday morning has been replaced with a swim, bacon sandwich and a ride instead. It’s not doing much for my running but it does give me an opportunity to do a longer...
Well, I did predict a war against algae and the war has started. The reduction in photoperiod that I mentioned in my last Aquascaping update doesn’t seem to have worked. It may have slowed the algal growth, but it is still getting worse. The algae seems to be coating the rock and pebbles, but there is also...
The garden is beginning to take shape. I did a little more work on it at the weekend, but the jobs that need to be done still keep mounting up, I just don’t seem to be able to find the time for gardening at the moment. The plants don’t seem to mind though and things...
