What I did on my holidays – Tuesday afternoon

August 26th, 2006 · Comments Off on What I did on my holidays – Tuesday afternoon · Life

Or… another chance for me to inflict my holiday snaps on the world Anyway, the original plan on Tuesday was for the kids to go swimming at Lulworth Cove afterwards, but the weather was a little miserable for that. The revised plan was that Jayne would drop us off at Lulworth Cove and then go […]

What I did on my holidays – Tuesday morning

August 26th, 2006 · Comments Off on What I did on my holidays – Tuesday morning · Technology

On Tuesday we went back to Bovington tank museum. Again.  It was my 4th visit to the place this year.  Its ironic really as I am basically anti-war, but I do like the hardware and both the kids want to join up when they are old enough. There were a couple of reasons why we […]

Do not drink

One last photo from Tyneham village. I do hope that whoever put up the modern sign appreciated the irony of the juxtaposition.

What I did on my holidays – Monday afternoon

August 26th, 2006 · Comments Off on What I did on my holidays – Monday afternoon · Life

After all that rock-climbing and kite-flying on Portland we decided to visit Tyneham village. But first we had to find some shops so that Jayne could buy a fleece or jumper – somehow she forgot to pack one and it was getting quite nippy in the evenings. On the way through Weymouth we had noticed […]

Kaiser Chiefs

August 26th, 2006 · Comments Off on Kaiser Chiefs · Music

I saw the Kaiser Chiefs on the TV tonight, playing at the Reading festival.  Still entertaining and refreshingly basic. I'm sure they played nothing which most punk bands in the 70's could not have played, and most of their songs lend themselves easily to crowd singalongs. But… They really do need some new songs. Desperately. […]

What I did on my holidays – Monday morning

August 26th, 2006 · 1 Comment · Life

On Monday morning we headed straight for Portland after breakfast. Charlie loved the place on the previous trip and really wanted to return and climb more rocks. I imagine he also wanted to be able to show his sister around. This is the pair of them climbing the big iconic rock at Portland Bill. Jayne […]

What I did on my holidays…

August 26th, 2006 · 4 Comments · Life

Holidays were a bit weird this year. Instead of going away for a long time we went away for four days, then came back home for a week, then went away for another four days. The first time we went away, Chrystal did not come with us as she was on her two-week annual camp […]

Dorset again

August 25th, 2006 · 1 Comment · Life

One reason I could not get to the B4L meet-up in London this evening was that we only returned from another trip to Dorset today. After spending 90 minutes wrestling 3 wet tents into the car along with all the other paraphernalia, 3 hours driving home, and then re-erecting the tents in the back garden […]

Feel the pulse

August 19th, 2006 · 5 Comments · Music

Jayne has bought me the Pink Floyd Pulse DVD as a wedding anniversary present (5 years!). It might not sound romantic, but it is something I desperately wanted after the debacle of the release date being put off for almost a year. No time to sit down and watch all 4 hours of stuff on […]
