  1. Coasteering in Cornwall

    So, the reason why I've been quiet for a couple of days

    Wednesday was attempting to clear work to make it less painful and possibly allowing for Thursday and Friday off work, or at the very least Friday on half burner so to speak. The reason, a corporate day out thanks to a client I do code work for. So the last time, the company Christmas event was surfing in December which sounds horrendous but was truly great fun.

  2. New Tech ? I'll take old skool thanks

    I've been keeping some local builders employed recently making some changes to TFW towers.
    A significant part of this work was a loft conversion, a very dusty and invasive thing to happen if you want to live in the house while its being done.

    One neglected part of a loft conversion is the fact you lose the space where you store all the stuff you dont need or want to have around the house cluttering things up.

  5. Why Slug?

    No big secret I use a wheelchair - indoors at least. Multiple stroke survivor.

    I got way passed being bothered about all the crap associated with that a long time ago

    Thing is, I live in one of the hilliest cities in the uk, so where we're at the wheels are just impractical. So I don't get out that much. Not a prob. Small, but bright airy sunshine house.

    But even 'er 'indoors calls me Wheelie. However, all my life I've loved rain, storms and snow. ...
