Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
Last week while my parents were here we decided to get a bird table! We had been meaning to do so for a while as Morgan likes to watch the birds out of the window, and we quite like it too. Most were too expensive, but thanks to ‘cheap charlies’ we found one in our...
Actually, it has been one of those weeks really. I’ve been suffering all week with yet another flu type bug so I haven’t managed to get much work done resulting not only in a bit of a back-log but also little income. On top of which I had to buy a new computer (Dual Core...
If it doesn’t make me sound too old, I’ve now been windsurfing for over 20 years, but believe it or not, in all that time I have never indulged in my passion outside of the UK. All that is about to change as I am in the process of organising a windsurfing holiday to Dahab...
Once again I’ve had to call on my mechanic brother, Brad to help me out. All my education and yet it still seems to be me calling on him for help and advice more often than him calling on me. I always new there would be little call for my training as a carbonate sedimentologist...
Really I guess that title should say, Mother, Wife and Mother-in-Law are always right! They’ve been nagging at me for a while to go to the doctors for a general check-up as my family history doesn’t make great reading: High blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, heart attacks and cancer all feature highly in the medical...
OK, OK, I know it has been around for ages, but it hasn’t been available for the Mac OS 10.3 Operating System for long, so I have only recently got my hands on it. All I can say is AMAZING! Now I just have to find a use for it other than simply browsing at...
Eloise & Brad have a new website! Brad is my brother and he will soon be getting married to Eloise, so I have just set them up with a nice new website very much like this one, that will allow them to publish details of their wedding plans and any other news and views they...
I’ve just spent the last four days snowboarding here in West Wales, and what an excellent four days it was. It is times like these that our chosen lifestyle really pays dividends, as I was able to put work on hold for a few days (or do some work at night) and enjoy the spectacular...
Grrrrr….. My nice shiny 15″ 1.5Ghz Apple Powerbook has blown up… It is less than 2 years old, cost me close to £2,000 and has been treated very gently, but the logic board is fried and it looks as though a repair is going to cost as much as buying a new machine.. I’m not...
Wooohooo, what a couple of days, loads of snow here in West Wales and I’ve managed to get the days off to head out and play in it! Amazing how the snow changes the scenery, things usually look pretty spectacular in the hills around here but with snow on them they are just amazing. It...
