Lakes at Gowerton
With the weather warming up (well, it will soon once this snow passes through) I went for a wander around a small coarse fishing lake, just around the corner from my house. It’s next to the road, so it’s not very quiet, it’s small, weedy and clear. There are some double-figure carp in there though…

In the gutter again
People suck. I had a short cycle on the road today, on my way home from work. Just 200m or so from the gates at work to the cycle path. Believe it or not, that was almost enough to get me knocked off my bike. Impressive, eh? In that short distance on a dual carriageway…

NABAZTAG Communicating Rabbit
I’d be tempted if it wasn’t £65… This gizmo sits there, hooked into your WiFi network. He (she?) will do weird things like waggle his ears, flash different colours, talk to you or play you music. The really fun thing, however, is that your friends can send the rabbit SMS messages or emails and take…

3 Cliffs Bay
Mum and Dad popped down today, so we went to Three Cliffs Bay for a stroll (Jack getting very wet as usual, but doing lots of walking). More photos, but a boring grey sky today.
