Cornish Oak Aged Premium Cyder
Sarah and I are currently having a chilled bottle of Healey’s Cornish Cyder Farm – Oak aged premium cyder – cannot believe how tasty it is. The last bottle left over from our holiday in Hayle – not available to buy on-line or available outside the South West so we cannot top up our stocks.…

Wildlife – Good and Bads – Badgers and Redwing
I normally work from home a couple of days a week at the moment and yesterday I casusally looked outside at the holly tree which appears to be teaming with wildlife at the moment after its berries – and I spotted what looked like a thrush. however, after zooming in and checking on the RSPB…

Adobe Mac User Show
Another week and another exhibition. Quite rare really as I don’t like wasting my time on exhibitions. Anyway, as you know I purchased the upgrade recently so wanted to see what was new in it. Picked up a few things to make it worthwhile, but felt a bit of a leper as a PC user…

James in a Bed / Weekend
Had a fairly quiet weekend – played two games of hockey – on Saturday for the 3’s and Sunday for Peter Westaway’s 50th Birthday – where it poured with rain. Felt absolutely shattered on Sunday evening – and my right knee has been pretty swollen – so need to be careful I don’t over do…

Something else broken
Not that I like dwelling in my own misery (right) but we were delighted on Friday that Sarah had her car returned after its broken starter motor. It starts better than it ever has since we bought it – Sarah has mentioned that this was a problem and the Knotty Green Vauxhall garage just said…
Got any book recommendations?
