Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Morgan made a lovely Mother’s Day card for Anna this year, complete with a poem that he wrote himself: MUM I Love you lots and lots Mum, Your food is really yum, I really like your pizza and your pasta Hopefully it will me me run faster. I love you lots and lots Mum, Because...
We went to the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff on Saturday. We made an early start, leaving the house at just after 6am so that we could get to a running shop to buy some new shoes for me when they opened at 9.30am. We then drove to Cardiff Bay parked and wandered over to the...
The fish tank resurrection continues. One of the reasons for going to Bristol for the weekend was to visit our favourite aquarium shop, Aquajardin just outside of Gloucester. We hadn’t been here for years but as it was Mother’s Day we went along with my Mum and Dad for a wander around the adjacent Blooms...
You may not have noticed by my lack of posts about running here but once again I haven’t been running due to injury. I had to stop running last year at the end of July due to knee pain which then became shin pain and a suspected stress fracture. An MRI scan didn’t show too...
The plants I ordered for the fish tank arrived yesterday. Rather than pick individual plants I decided to just buy a plant collection specifically for a 36″ tank from Java-Plants. Not only was this a lot cheaper but it was easier too and would give us a good start. The plants all arrived in good...
The software that prompted me to upgrade to Mountain Lion had an update to it earlier in the week. Rubitrack is a training diary and fitness tracker for the mac that keeps track of all the training I do. I changed to it from Ascent when I upgraded to Mountain Lion mainly because it was...
I worked out over the weekend that the plants I have ordered for the fish tank won’t arrive until later this week, so impatient as ever Morgan and I wanted to put something in the tank. I’d normally leave a new tank for a couple of weeks to settle in and get the filter primed, but...
The nice weather looks as though it will take a turn on Wednesay so I’ve been busy making the most of it and trying to get on top of things in the garden. I’m just about there as well as far as the back garden goes. All the dead growth has been tidied up and...
One of Morgan’s birthday resents from us was a Slackline set. If you don’t know what slacklining is then it’s a little like tight-rope walking, but the line isn’t tight! It’s actually a practice in balance that typically uses nylon or polyester webbing tensioned between two anchor points. The slackness of the line provides a...
I wasn’t competing in the INTRtri St David’s Day Aquathlon at the weekend. Mainly because I didn’t want to, but also because it then means as a committee member of the club I could help out with marshalling on the day. I’m not that keen to compete simply because it is too early in the...
