    I got a couple of Flip video cameras, so thought I’d test them out by cycling home & filming it. They’re nice and simple, and work well!

    So this has been a challenging weekend so far. I’m not sure what the lesson is but it’s in there. I invited a mate and his family to come and stay with us and to enter today’s Gower Triathlon. Garry and I used to bike race together when we were half our current ages and…

    It’s been a tough week this week, so I’m posting these sunny images from the beach (from a recent weekend) to show an update and to cheer myself up. The sun is coming back!

    I’m a lazy blogger. Stu and Lisa came to visit in the first weekend of February and we popped down to a beach in the good weather. Jack’s firefighting imagination came with him and we built piles of sand (fires) which he put out with buckets of water. It all worked rather well, as the…
