Shiny!
Two things were cancelled today, or rather postponed. But I'm happy with that. Tomorrow is going to be very hot and though I want to see our daughter and granddaughter, leaving it another week should mean cooler weather for a long drive down to Mid-Wales. This also means that tomorrow I can attack the back garden, which is still not really under ( Read more... ) -
My best (?) photos of 2023
I follow a few photographers on YouTube and a day or so ago I watched a video where one of them explained how he always looked back over the photographs he'd taken during the year and chose his 10 favourites. I thought I try the same exercise and I've put them in a Flickr Album (Link here...)To be honest, looking back through them in this way, I ( Read more... ) -
Cardiff mini-break (Thursday)
The weather pattern on Thursday was the opposite of Wednesday, i.e. it was foul in the morning with the promise of a reasonable afternoon. I therefore spent the morning catching up online and reading while G worked on something on the laptop. The apartment had wifi, so we got useful stuff done ( Read more... ) -

A job half done
As I said in my reply to the comments on Tuesday's post, the engineer finally turned up at 6.10 p.m. As he had a long drive to get home, he just did the boiler and arranged for another engineer who lives much closer to come and service the gas fire on Friday morning, i.e. tomorrow. At least we have a priority 2 hour slot for that appointment due ( Read more... ) -

A nice afternoon for a walk
I had thought that I might go and shoot the video about local ghosts today because the forecast said it would be cloudy this afternoon. Instead it's been glorious sunshine with not a cloud in the sky. Absolutely not spooky at all ( Read more... ) -
Arthog Falls
The weather forecast was favourable and G had planned another walk. We drove to Arthog and parked in the huge layby below the village hall. The name "Arthog" derives from the Welsh word for "bear" and is a reminder that we used to have bears roaming around, though they are long gone now. We also used to have wolves. Legend has it that the last ( Read more... ) -
Well, that was a surprise!
And here is the final post relating to the walk on Monday. On arriving back at the Penmaenpool bridge, we were somewhat surprised to find it full of really really expensive cars. I saw Porsche, McLaren, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Jaguar and possibly others I've failed to recognise and/or read the name as I walked past ( Read more... )
