Kite Festival 2010 – Catch The Wind

The annual Catch The Wind Festival 2010 brought one of the better days of the year for adults to fly kites. The kids just had to sit and watch and hope that mum or dad would get fed up eventually and hand over the kite strings. At least those with kids did but [...]

Tequila And ???

Long hot day and it’s going to be a warm evening so what better than a cool drink? There’s a litre of Heineken in the fridge already so lager is on the menu tonight. Where better to pick up a few bottles than the Wineyard and Deli? As usual I end up walking [...]

Yet Again

Yet again I find myself posting a catch-up. Life inter-twines with work and I rarely if ever discuss work on forums or blogs. Same goes for weekends, most of them spent with family who might not appreciate me discussing our lives publicly.

So what’s been going on recently? CountryFest at the County Ground near Milnthorpe [...]

Belfast May 2010

Starting off with the idea of a weekend in Newcastle, we booked a weekend in Belfast. Not sure why but thanks to Ryanair and Lastminute.com we got an excellent deal. Very uneventful to the airport and got on the plane nice and early. Then got off the plane because Ryanair operations decided to send the [...]

Another Catch-Up Post

Quite a while since I posted something what I would call interesting. Does it mean my life is boring? Far from it. Most weekends spent with family and the occassional Sunday to myself, such as today, so out came the bike and off down the promenade, with camera. Not enough wind for the yachts [...]

Mid-Life Crisis?

That’s what my partner reckons I’m having, just because I bought a car and it was all her fault. It wasn’t me that set out to buy a car yesterday, we went looking at second-hand Citroen C3′s and whatever else caught her eye. If it hadn’t been raining and there had been someone at [...]

Buzz-ing along and other stuff that bugs me

Sure enough, Google Buzz finally triggered on my account. Having spent an hour or so playing around with it, I don’t think I like it. It doesn’t show twitter activity as it claims to and it has posted my latest Flickr photo as a message without me going anywhere near it. When I do try to [...]

Quick Update 7th Feb 10

It’s good to be in the house for more than a few minutes, finally got around to deciding about the kitchen and dining room both of which will be trashed in the near future. Nothing wrong with either of them as they stand but I don’t want two rooms. It’s also been Noah’s Christening [...]

Heysham M6 Link

Yet again the solution to the congestion in Morecambe and Lancaster goes to an enquiry. Various groups complain about the ever rising costs, have they thought that actively campaigning against the road and delaying it is actully the cause of the rising costs? Had it been built when it was first planned we’d have [...]

Still cold & white

[singlepic id=1260 w=320 h=240 float=right]Nothing like as cold as it has been or as cold as the weather channels say it is elsewhere but I still can’t put a wash on, the machine is in an old fashioned out-house and the water froze in the pipes – T to the rescue.

I managed to [...]
