Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Sunday mornings usually have me doing a run and a swim these days, and last Sunday was no exception. I couldn’t swim at Machynlleth as the Aquathlon was on and I was supposed to be doing hill reps anyway, so would be better off running on my own. I therefore headed into Aberystwyth nice and...
It’s a perfect night for star-gazing tonight, I’ve just been out there wearing shorts and ‘T’-shirt looking at a triangle formed by the Moon, Venus and Jupiter. To be honest you don’t need a telescope to see them at their best and on a clear night like tonight, they are really obvious in the sky...
We haven’t had the moth trap out much lately, and when we have there has been nothing in it. We put it out on Friday evening and despite pretty good conditions, the catch was still pretty small: 2x Early Grey 1x Common Quaker 2x Hebrew Character There have been quite a few shoulder stripes at...
Sorry for the lack of updates here over the past few days, but the weather has just been far too nice. My job as a web designer has me sat in front of the computer all day long so over the weekend that was the last thing I wanted to be doing, especially whilst the...
We moved a beehive again on Monday evening. As per usual, our beekeeping activities took place under cover of darkness. The hive in question had been moved from Aberystwyth to our house a couple of weeks prior and was now going back to our new out apiary just outside of Aberystwyth. All went well and...
It’s been a busy week so far this week and we feel as though we’ve barely had time to catch up after our weekend away. Today was just as busy. I started off the day with some website work on the computer, and then went out for a hard, 10 mile run. It wasn’t that...
We had a last minute trip to Bristol this weekend. We couldn’t drive down Friday evening as we had organised a geocaching event for the Scouts and Explorers and didn’t finish that until 10pm, so we made an early start and set off just after 6am on Saturday morning. We made good time on the quiet roads...
As we were in Bristol for the weekend I decided to take my biking and running kit and meet up with Jay, Brad and Mike for a little ride and run around the Bristol Triathlon course. Brad, Mike and myself will be doing the Bristol Triathlon in July so we thought it would be good...
For those who don’t know it is National Science and Engineering Week this week and as usual the science departments from the university have got together and put on a 3 day hands-on exhibition for local school children. As well as having over 1000 primary school children through the doors throughout the week they also...
It’s been a long wait, but the Alliums that I planted out (as part of a birthday present) back in October of last year are finally making an appearance. Every time I look at the little border along the conservatory there are more appearing. The edges of the border need tidying up and I could...
