Happy Easter Everyone!

Pretty awesome picture of the UK yesterday from Space. Spent a while working out exactly which bit of whitish-grey was Derby. Click on the picture for the full-size (3MB) version.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Happy Christmas Everybody!

Went to Spain and Portugal recently to visit some of the major battlesites and sieges in the Penninsular War. I finally got some time to sort out the thousands of photos we brought back so here are a few…

Went to Dorset in July but only just managed to get the photos sorted.

This was emailed to me by a friend.

I managed to spill hot chocolate on my netbook on Friday. That’s the first time, and hopefully the last time, I’ve done that.

Fortunately it only went on the mousepad and the keyboard. I managed to get the mousepad working this morning but have had to order a new keyboard for it from ebay.

In the meantime I can use a usb keyboard.

Got my first birdie recently on the 6th hole (par 3) at Brailsford Golf Course.

Here’s a picture:

I climbed Glyder Fach and then Glyder Fawr yesterday with my Dad and some of my brothers. We drove down to Wales the previous evening and arrived at 1am on Wednesday, grabbed a couple hours of sleep and then started the climb at 4:30am.

We finished at 10am and then went to Bangor for lunch.
