Iceberg or Ice Burger

Adrian — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 10:20:09 +0000

This image (well something better drawn) popped into my mind when Adam called an iceberg an ice burger instead. I’m sure things would have been very different on the Titanic

Camp’s been good to me so far.

The idea for this one came to me in the car yesteray morning when ‘Life’s been good to me so far’ came on the player.

I have a big tent, I forget the price
Ain’t never been home, they tell me it’s nice
I live in tents, no need for walls
I have mobile coverage for my calls

They say I’m crazy but I have a good time
I’m just looking for views
and this one is real fine
Camp’s been good to me so far

My camper van does 55
I take it easy when out for drive
I have a fridge stocked in the back
I will find my way down this dirt track

I’m lighting the fire, my friends they can’t wait
They send me texts tell me I’m great
So I got me a fire, marshmallows on a stall
Just leave a message maybe I’ll call

Lucky I’m sane after all I’ve been through
Everybody says I’m cool (He’s cool)
I can’t complain but sometimes I still do
Camp’s been good to me so far

I go to camp fires sometimes until four
It’s hard to leave even when there’s no door
It’s tough to handle this relax and rest
Camping’s so different, outdoors is best

They say I’m lazy but it takes all my time
Everybody says Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
I keep on going guess you’ll never know why
Camp’s been good to me so far

London to Brighton Bike Ride

Adrian — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 09:37:24 +0000

Am I going to regret this?
Probably not. I like riding, it’s for a good cause and I’m sure we’ll have fun on the day.

It all started over a morning chat at work, Chris (my boss) was talking to Angela about doing the London to Brighton. Angela responded with “I’m not doing it on my own.” and stupidly the words “I’ll do it with you.” came out of my mouth. And as it was Chris’s idea he’s joining us aswell.

So we will be joining about 27,000 other cyclists on the 54 mile cycle on the 17th June.

I have set up a JustGiving page if you would like to help me reach my target, raise more than my team mates and donate some money to the British Heart Foundation.

Decorations

Adrian — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 12:58:58 +0000

It’s the first of November and I have just been dodging step ladders in the Co-Op while they put up their Christmas decorations. It’s 54 days until Christmas and way too early for decorations. I love Christmas just not early decorations.. December is early enough.

The Way

Adrian — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 00:00:00 +0000

Follow the Way.

There is only one Way.

Do not deviate from the Way, this leads to distractions and the wrong way.

The Path is the Way.

Knowing the Path is not the same as walking the Path.

Camping

Nothing better than camping with open fires. We’ve been lucky this year, finding two great campsites that allow open fires. Both farms, both very friendly and both selling their own produce for us to savour.

Both we will visit again. I will add both websites to my links and link them here once home, I’m writing this while the sun sets and cooking some veggie skewers by the campfire.

It’s great to see all the families here with children enjoying the outdoors, playing in the woods, and enjoying cooking marshmallows.

We had a wonderful week, and wonderful evenings sitting by our little campfire enjoying a few drinks, enjoying the peace and quiet (no radios allowed), and admiring the stars.

Those links: Church Farm, Ardeley & Dernwood Farm, Sussex.

SPAM – SPAM – Comments – SPAM

Adrian — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 07:19:22 +0000

SPAM is everywhere now. I even get SPAM comments to this blog.
Now some of these comments try and hide themselves as normal comments, just adding an url or a quick line for a service/product to buy. Some are little more clever and look nearly like a real comment so the comment is approved and next time around their comments (the real SPAM may be automatically approved).

Now this more intelligent SPAM make some nice or amusing comments (to the post) so I thought I would share. So if you see a comment from ‘SPAM Post’ that is what it is with any urls, emails & IP addresses removed. And I will reply to each comment just to please my little mind.

Lot’s of changes

Adrian — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 22:20:38 +0000

I have made a lot of changes over the last couple of weeks.
The website needed a new home so this was a good chance to give it a new look and update and rewrite a lot of the old bits and pieces. Lots to load back up to the site, which will appear over the next week (or two).

The theme for the site has been crafted by me, the colours chosen by the wife (it could have looked ghastly if left to me).

There will also be some new stuff appearing soon, as well as some old stuff that has been rewritten and appears on the site for the first time.

More Pond Life

Adrian — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 14:49:30 +0000

Once spring arrived work on the ponds has progressed to the point where I can now say they are done.

The Wildlife Pond

The Pond for the Frogs & Newts

This pond was really completed last year but the wifey has added her touch, I do the hard work and Hannah adds the finishing touches. We now have a variety of plants around and in the pond as well as snails, newts, mussells and tadpoles living in the pond as well as a variety of wildlife living on top of the water.

The Fish Pond

The Pond for the Fishes

The fish pond was a lot more work than the wildlife pond. The waterfall was changed several times until I got it right, and then moving again so it could be viewed better from our seating area by the pond. Again the pond was finished last year and this spring was just remaking the bridge, it was too high, and continuing the decking around to the patio area we unburried. The patio stones were very uneven so they were lifted the area levelled, took me two attempts, and the stones relayed.

Hannah then added the various plants in and around the waterfall and behind the pond aswell as the furniture on the patio. This is now our relaxing area for the evening, as it is far enough down the garden to get the evening sun. With the addition of my windchime, which was a present from some good friends and a few plant pots, and our outdoor wine rack, also presents from friends we have a great area to sit by the pond.

Mobile Blogging

Just found a nice little application for my phone which now means I can add pointless blogs like this one wherever I am.
