Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I’m not really sure why everyone seems to be having a go at Toyota Cars . They’ve identified a few issues with several of their car models – OK, that amounts to a considerable number of individual cars – but they have admitted that there is an issue and are fixing it. What more could...
As you may know from recent posts I’ve started moth trapping and have been part of the formation of the Ceredigion Moth Group. It’s all a little ‘geeky’ but I quite enjoy the moth trapping, as does Morgan and learning more about the creatures around us is always a good thing. Keeping records of them...
The Ceredigion Moth Group is up and running and we seem to be making some progress. I’ve set up a mailing list so that we can all keep in touch with each other and we have been sending our records from 2009 to the new County Recorder. I only had a fairly small number of...
I’ve just got back from a nice little windsurf session in the estuary here at Ynyslas. Ivor, our local katabatic wind was up to his usual tricks with a decent NE wind funbelling down through the valley at up to 25 knots. And this was despite the fact that the forecast was for winds of...
Only one month to go until the Mawddach Goldrush so I thought I’d better get some longer rides in. That was the plan for Saturday, but the surf was going off so I had to go for a surf at Ynyslas first. The surf turned out to be pretty much as good as it gets...
Sometimes I wonder if humans go a bit over the top with spoiling their pets and I have to ask myself if our efforts are appreciated. For those that don’t know, we have a very neurotic cat. We didn’t plan to get a cat and rescued her when she was a young kitten. That is...
Morgan went to a swimming party yesterday. As it was a private party I thought I’d give my underwater camera a try out and get some shots of him playing in the water. It seemed to work quite well, even the video quality was OK. Shame about my videography skills, but I was only messing...
No, not mine or Anna’s, but Morgan’s. He seems to have several parties to go to each week at the moment. A party in Borth hall last weekend, a swimming party this afternoon, party in the Rugby Club on Sunday afternoon, a party in the soft play area next Thursday and his own ‘Cinema Party...
The trouble with trying ti get fit is that it can become a little more than a habit and become an obsession. You end up trying to do more in order to improve, but in the end just do too much. Resting is very much an important part of any training schedule and after last...
Here’s one for Matt. A quick video clip (from Kelvin) on the first descent of the Raven Trail. Kelvin, Jim and I were already at the bottom, then down came Matt, followed by a couple of more tentative riders. Jay and Brad were on their way somewhere too!
