How come it’s easier to get up on a weekday when you haven’t got to go to work??
Bit of a day of travelling today but should be on the West Coast of Ireland by tonight to catch some early weekend surf. Weather doesn’t look all that nice but that might be in our favour with the waves. It’s been a while since we got down to the Gower so looking forward to nosediving into the surf again.

Despite a good breeze the weather was superb for the Port Erin Soap Box Derby. Managed a respectable 5th or 6th in the end too not that that matters. It’s the taking part that counts.

Black Orchid’s tank entry crashing into the barriers at the Port Erin Soap Box Derby.

It’s good to see events catch on outside the local area and today’s Port Erin Soap Box Derby was no exception. Amongst all the usual entries and a few new local ones, it was great to see a crew in from Ramsey riding a pink furry schlong.
It was pretty good weather for racing and there was a great turn out on the prom to watch. Even the camper van that offers Tarrot readings made it down. I’m always amazed that somebody that can tell the future has never won or earned enough money to buy a new camper van. Maybe it’s early days for them or perhaps they know something we don’t. Maybe it’s not all about money; and meeting new people and old friends is what its all about….

Check out this little dude that just arrived in our garden this morning. Didn’t do a great deal whilst she was here, just posed for a couple of pictures and then hopped off. Within about 2 minutes of turning our backs she’d disappeared so a fleeting visit.
Made my morning, love frogs and have never seen a wild one on the Island. Plenty of tadpoles mind but never a frog. We named her Cleopatra (obviously a woman with legs like that!) so at at least she leaves the garden with something she didn’t come in with.

It’s taken us until June to get out the tent and fit in a camping trip and on Thursday I was close to staying home but in the end ‘just friggin did it’ and again the ‘jusat frigin do it’ philosophy paid off. Continue Reading »

A summer’s day couldn’t get much better than yesterday. The sun was out (as my glowing face and red hands can prove this morning!) and I seemed to fit more in than I do in a normal week. Kayaking, barbecue, TT race, walk, Basking Sharks and a sunset. Continue Reading »

Just found a great blog with some really awesome pictures and write ups on the Isle of Man. Always good to hear when someone enjoys a trip to the Island but even better when they show it in pictures.

I’ve put away countless take aways and watched a number of films in between my daily 7 hour shift in front of a computer at work followed by another couple of hours at home. What an active life! I really want to get fit, go out running, cycle etc but just can’t find my motivation. I think about it a lot. That bit’s easy. But I find loads of excuses when it comes to it. Continue Reading »
