Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
It looks as though today is going to be the nicest day of the Half Term week as far as the weather goes and Morgan was at home with me. So, after doing some gardening we headed off to search for some geocaches – something we hadn’t done for ages. First stop was the a...
It’s not surprising my Moth Trap didn’t attract many moths the other night when it was competing with this.
Winter is definitely on it’s way, there’s a frost here this morning and temperatures dropped below freezing (-1ºC) for the first time this winter. Yesterday was similar, clear skies and a lovely sunny, crisp autumnal day so we loaded up the car with bikes and headed off to Coed y Brenin. Anna and Morgan had...
I’ve just got back from an excellent windsurf session here at Ynyslas. I wandered over to the beach and it didn’t lok great, grey, not that windy and not much in the way of waves either. I rigged my bigger sail, a 5.6m Gun Nexus and decided to give it a go with my Naish...
My beloved and very well used Garmin Forerunner 305 has stopped working. I’ve had it since January 2008 and it has been working flawlessy but now it keeps switching itself off. Sometimes it’ll stay on for a while but if I just touch the casing then it shuts down. I guess it could have got...
Just a quick list of some things to do in and around Aberystwyth this Autumn. It isn’t exhaustive of course but it covers our usual haunts and may give you some ideas if you’re at a loose end. Saturday 23rd October Feed the Birds Day – Ynys Hir (10am – 4pm) – make bird feeders/scavenger...
I’ve been on the phone to the support team at Plusnet, my ISP recently over an issue that may or may not have anything to do with them. It is nice that they have an English support team as it certainly makes dealing with such issues a whole lot easier, so whilst speaking with them...
I’ve been having a bit of a nightmare with connectivity recently. For some reason on a few occasions I’ve been unable to access any of my sites (or my clients sites) on a particular web-server – Watch out, this may get a bit techy! The first time it happened I was still able to connect to sites...
Honestly! I am! I know, who’d have thought it that as I approach my 40th birthday I’d become a model in a nude calendar, whatever next! Unfortunately (or probably fortunately for most of you), I can’t show you any of the photos yet as it is being sold to raise money for the ITU and...
I did the Bristol Bike Fest on Saturday, a Mountain Bike Endurance race in Ashton Court, Bristol. Jay and I rode the course at a very easy pace on Friday evening and it seemed really nice. There hadn’t been any rain for ages so it was bone dry with loads of lovely twisty single track....
