    A new climbing wall has finally opened that serves the Swansea and Gower area. Reviews are favourable, it looks well designed, and hopefully we’ll get an opportunity to check it out in the coming months. Dynamic Rock.

    I have evidence here, that spring has arrived. This mini-video (best with sound) shows heavy, heavy rain bouncing off my fishing brolly, and yet I was quite warm. So we must have jumped from cold winter winds to April showers in just the last 7 days. I was happy too, because I had a nice…

    Our 1st year medical students haven’t broken up for Easter yet, but they did have their last anatomy session today. This means that I get my Sunday evenings back for a few weeks!

    It was my birthday on the weekend, so we went back to Cheltenham to see family and friends for a “country weekend”: Shooting clays (soaking wet and freezing, but very good, noisy and destructive afternoon – Kim started to get her eye in on some of the later traps). Angling (a very productive morning on…

    The second year students of the Swansea Medicine GEP finished lectures today. Their first two years are almost over, and they will soon progress on to the more clinical part of their MB training, mostly away from Swansea and our medical school. I really didn’t get to see them much in their second year, because…

    I don’t think this is going to work. The more we wash this new frog, the fluffier it gets and the colour is not fading either. Kim’s new tactics are to wash it with some denim jeans and rub it down. I think we’re probably just going to end up giving it to him and…

    Are you ready for hi-def DVD? You can now pre-order your Sony Blu-ray DVD player from Best Buy. It looks like we’re in for a format war. This is probably good for me, as I’m really not in any hurry to upgrade. I’ll wait until the dust settles.
