    As requested, a photo of the other room’s floor, which I finished on Friday. Again, I just need to do the edging. The hifi is going to get a high quality rack, and we’ll need to buy some leather arm chairs to go in here one day. It’s nice to have the flooring to one…

  • Have you seen this frog?

    Jack has lost his frog. It is his favourite cuddly toy, and his constant companion, but he dropped him somewhere in Swansea town centre. So far, he’s not as perturbed as I thought he would be – I don’t think that he truly believes froggy is lost. Froggy has found his way home before now.…

    Kim’s blubbing away to Home and Away, Jack’s in bed, and I’m a bit bored. I’m very tempted to check my email, but I know that will take me back into work mode, so I’ll stay clear. My gaming PC is dead and I’m bored of the internet for 5 minutes. What to do….. catch…

    My current DIY project: laying an oak floor in the entrance hall and the downstairs reception room. I’ve pretty much completed this room now (the entrance hall) except for some edging. It took most of the weekend, but was a very enjoyable job. I like a bit of woodwork and it looks stunning, so I…

    The snow actually left sooner than predicted – most of it had gone by the end of Wednesday. There’s still some around on westward facing slopes and hills, but not a lot. There are no signs of the threatened second dump on Friday either, and the mild weather is moving in this weekend. I’m hoping…

  • Welsh Snow

    Snow in Wales is so fleeting – notoriously so in North Wales, where plans for a winter weekend become plans for a wet weekend when the wind changes direction. I feel like I should get out and do something in it, like take Jack sledging, build a snowman, walk in the Brecons or explore Gower.…

    We had a bit of snow last night, which made cycling into work this morning tricky – it took an hour instead of 30 minutes. Snow clogs everything up, making it feel like you’re on an exercise bike with the friction knob tightened up. I didn’t get any good photos, but the route was very…
