    I haven’t looked at the stats for cardifftri.net for a while. I killed the page counters that it had when the service started throwing up pop-ups and pop-unders. May and June are usually the busiest times of year for that site because of our two main races, Try-a-Tri and Cosmeston. I was happy to learn…

    Apologies – I almost lost this website yesterday, and as a result of restoring from backups some of the comments have been lost.

    I’ve just watched the season 2 finale of Lost. I’ve kind of been saving it up, knowing that it would leave my mind spinning. To sum it up: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhh!

    I’ve just got home from Cosmeston Lakes after a long day (out of bed 6am) helping in the triathlon. I do a bunch of tasks, the main one of which is “official photographer”. I see the same faces every year and they seem to recognise me, looking out for me at these races and giving…

    Some ex-Swansea Institute of Higher Education fine art students paint as a group locally, and sell their paintings. They knocked on doors on our estate, knowing that everyone was new and decorating their houses. Kim saw lots of their artwork and picked out some paintings for the house. All were excellent, but this painting of…

    The summer is here. It began as June did, and it’s warm, sunny and pleasant. Where will I be spending the summer? Take a look at these webcams: llangennithsurf.com Langland Bay I thought these beaches would be busy by 10am this morning, but they look pretty blank. I must get my arse into gear next…

    This is one of my mum’s cats, Molly. She has three of these fat, long-haired animals, & they all make me sneeze & give me asthma. They’ve been around longer than Kim & I have been together (14 years this weekend). My new GP has an asthma clinic, & they’ve been monitoring me even though…

    Cheltenham Town FC are in the play-offs tomorrow to go back up the league. Typically they’re playing in Cardiff & I’m actually in Cheltenham for Kim’s birthday. 30,000 spectators are expected, but I’ll not be one of them (friends & family are going). I’ve not had much chance to follow them this season to be…

    I popped up to Whitesprings to fish yesterday evening, and to see a friend that was visiting. I’ve never seen so much water fall out of the sky. And my umbrella leaks. I spent most of the time feeding the ducklings and sitting in a puddle.

    Some random photos from my office today. We’re into head and neck anatomy this term. Don’t worry, they’re all plastic. Except the plant. That’s just thirsty, and not too leafy.
