I’m off on a tangent again. I have an HP Pavillion laptop that must be around 12 years old now and I still use it for work. Inevitably, over time, they slow down, get bloated with new software and eventually come to the end of their working life but if you know me I don’t … Continue reading Mint
Since I got my dartboard in July and built my cabinet, other than being away from home, I’ve played almost every day. Sometimes just a few throws, sometimes hours but I try and get an hours worth of practice in a day which is usually broken up into a few sessions of 15-20 mins each. … Continue reading 100% Dart Nerd
Saturday We slept in on our first morning. Sally made some coffee and we eventually got up for a late breakfast on the terrace around the main pool. Only here would breakfast be serenaded by a Harpist! Yes, a lady was sat there playing the harp for us. It was a buffet breakfast. Standard fayre. … Continue reading Feeling Posh, Posh, Posh – Part 2

With the seemingly endless bad weather at the moment, Summer is definitely over and I have to reignite my love-hate relationship with indoor training again. If you’ve followed me for a while you’ll know that I go through phases with indoor training platforms. I’ve dabbled with Zwift, Rouvy and Wahoo’s SYSTM, opting for the latter … Continue reading Back Indoors

Having had the unit for a number of years and had the battery replaced recently, giving it a new lease of life, … Continue reading RIP Garmin
So tonight Sally and I head to Costa Adeje, Tenerife for a long weekend but not any normal weekend in Tenerife. This is a no cycling, 5 Star luxury weekend. Some months back Sally (she’s a Personal Travel Consultant) attended a trade event and won a three night stay at one of the poshest hotels … Continue reading Imposter Syndrome
My blog on WordPress.com is up for renewal shortly. I could have just spunked £60 for another two years and that would be it but my online setup on their Personal plan comes with quite a lot of restrictions. You can’t add any plugins, you can’t upload video and there are space quotas for media … Continue reading Right Faff
Yet more bad weather today so no pics again. I slept quite well last night and woke this morning pretty stiff and groggy. I had to spend some time on my hamstrings, quads and my left hip flexor to get them in some sort of shape. Breakfast was some coffee, toast and cereal with a … Continue reading Babbacombe Day 3
