Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
All has been going well with my training lately – I’d been building up the weekly volume slowly but surely and had just about managed to burn off the extra weight put on over Christmas. I hadn’t been out on the bike at all, but both my swimming and running were feeling OK. I wasn’t...
At last, we’ve had a couple of clear nights, the first since Xmas, so we’ve been able to get our new telescope out. Anna was out rehearsing and doing the pantomime with the Scouts, so it was just Morgan and me. We set the scope up under clear skies, but on the first day night it wasn’t...
I haven’t posted any training reports here for a while, but I’ve just got back from a nice hilly lunch time run so thought I’d share it today. I’m having quite a hard training week this week. I started back at circuits and swimfit last night after a break for Christmas. I actually missed a...
I’m really keen to take some photos through our new telescope. I knew this wouldn’t be easy. The world of astro-photography is complex with many diverse techniques that need to be learnt, practised and perfected. Some of the photos you can achieve are truly outstanding, but I think it will be many years before we...
The weather has been terrible here since Christmas, but we really wanted to get Morgan out for a decent ride on his new bike. We had a quick spin around Nant yr Arian on it on Boxing Day and he’d been over to the beach on it, but really needed an easy, long ride to...
Anna’s Mum bought Morgan and I a telescope for Christmas. I did of course have quite a bit of input into which one to get, and choosing a suitable telescope isn’t as easy as it might sound, so I thought I’d share some of my research here. The Factors to take into consideration. There were...
Day four of 2012, and Windsurf number 4 too. It was nowhere near as windy as it was yesterday but the winds were still around 25-35 knots so I went out with a bigger board and my 5m sail. I was pretty tired already though from a 10km run the night before and another 55...
I had a nice run with the Tri Club last night. The run itself was fairly uneventful, just an undulating 10km run with Pete, Graham and Karen. It was a cool, clear night with plenty of light from the Moon and good views of Jupiter not far from the Moon. On the way back we took a bit of...
The winds woke me up at 3am this morning and then at 5am I had to give in, get dressed and go outside to see what the banging was. A shed door had been wrenched open by the wind and there was all sorts of debris flying around the garden. I made things sound and...
The temperature dropped a fair bit here today, but the wind was blowing and for a change the sun was shining. There was therefore only one thing to do and that was make the most of my prolonged Christmas holiday and head to the beach for a windsurf. It wasn’t that exciting a sail, just...
