Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
The start of day 2 merged with day 1 really as I was still travelling, but after trying to sleep it was time for breakfast in the hotel. Breakfast was like the rest of the hotel, basic but fine. I then met up with a rep which brought up the whole bike transfer fiasco again...
I finally made it to Turkey! There was a bit of a delay in Birmingham thanks to a strike by the French air traffic controllers and I was there early anyway so ended up having to wait around for about 7 hours. The flight was a little cramped but OK and then I had issues...
I’ve just got through watching the Apple WWDC keynote and I have to say I’m quite impressed. I wasn’t really expecting much as you can’t really force a company to innovate, but from what I’ve seen I’m quite looking forward to the second half of the year as some of the new updates look really...
Just some time for some finishing touches before leaving for Turkey. Top of the list last night was to change my team colours from INTRtri colours to Team-GB colours… Looking good! I’m almost packed ready to leave for Turkey tomorrow. Just a few final things to go in the bags and a final weight check...
I won’t be here for Fathers Day next weekend as I shall be in Turkey competing for Team-GB in the European Age Group Triathlon Championships, so Morgan had a surprise for me this morning… An early Fathers Day card and a present on the form of a hand made case for my new iPhone. ...
I haven’t got long to go now. In fact by this time next week the race will be over and it will all be done an dusted. I’m off to the European Triathlon Championships in Alanya, Turkey where I’ll be competing for Team-GB in the 40-44 year old Age-Group. Training has been going well, although...
Thought I’d better mow the lawn and check up on the garden before I go away next week – somehow I don’t see Anna doing it while I’m away. It’s all looking good out there and coming on well, so here are a few weekend photos from the garden. Enjoy.
As per usual, family logistics were a little hectic yesterday. Fitting in collecting Morgan from school, work, collecting Morgans friends and looking after them, dinner, training and a school disco meant a few changes to the usual routine. It turned out good though. Anna decided to work late and take a very late lunch. This...
Another busy day yesterday and with such long days I tend to start at around 4:30am as the sunrise wakes me up. It started off with lots of computer work as I have a new website design project that I’m working on. It’s nice to get the creative juices flowing again and I’m quite enjoying...
