The Big 4

It’s official, next year we will try the end to end ride in 4 days! The knee injury is only just calming down and the doctor said I can start riding again yet the talk of knocking a day off the ride has been spoken about since we got back. Last night Dave came round for a chat and a catch up and to drop the bombshell; “do you want to go for 4 days?” Now it might be fact that I was watching Tom...

Tablet Fun

This evening I took a trip to the local PC World to pick up some blank DVD’s for a project, I also wanted to have a look at some microphones for Skype. Ended up walking out with a Wacom tablet instead. Strange I thought. A graphics tablet has been on my list for a while but I’ve never got round to getting one, until I found this one sitting there on special offer. It would have been wrong to...

Stamford for a Day

Saturday Lucy and I went for a trip back to her home town; Stamford to see Ant and Charlotte and new born Oscar.Of course the big part of the trip was to see Oscar and do the usual ’_ohhhhhh_’ ’_ahhhhhhh_’ and other cute noises. But whilst we were there is was also the annual fete for Stamford. So Ant and I tried to work out the pushchair and decide what attachments would be required and set off...
