how moving

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

I now live in a different house because we needed a bigger one so lots of money changes hands and several months later we live somewhere with more space for me to fill up with camera gear and rubbish photos, yay!

I have no internet at home, and at the moment am in the middle of 75 massive DIY projects, so don’t expect to have any free time at all over the next few weeks. So apologies in advance for the lack of updates!

Anyone want to come and lay the slate floor in my kitchen for me? I can’t be bothered but it needs to be done by Friday morning.

Anyway here are some pictures I took a few weeks ago when I went to Brean Down. What I did was, I went to Brean down, with a camera, and I pointed it at things and took pictures. Crazy times.

On the news it said that the whole world is now covered in snow and it’s colder than it has ever been ever.

Unless you’ve been living on the moon you probably already know this. Apparently it’s hot in this place called hotstralia but that seems quite unlikely because on the BBC it said it was snowing everywhere.

Anyway I made this, just because I can, on my garden wall. I call them John Snow and his family.

Snow People

The only problem is Wilf the Dog seemed to think a family of cats had come to sit on the wall and not move at all for several hours, so as soon as we opened the back door he went mad and tried to attack them. Silly Wilf.

Finally got my Kenya Holga photos back this week – I’ll share them soon, so DON’T PANIC!

brrrrrrr freezing

Remember when the met office said 2007 was going to be the hottest year on record – and then it was cooler than the previous year?

Remember when the met office said we would have a “barbeque summer” in 2009 – and July was the wettest since records began?

Remember when the met office said (as recently as December 20th) that this winter was going to be a mild one?

Minus 7 degrees

Yeah. Go met office. Nice to see our tax pounds being spent wisely. Now get this, John Hirst, chief goon at the met office has received performance related bonuses the last two years.

Ooh get me being all political and that. Anyway I wish they’d hurry up and bring on all this global warming we’re supposed to be having, it’s freezing here and my toes hurt.

Merry New Year and all that jazz. x

the beer post

Monday, December 14th, 2009

Most people who know me will know I’m partial to a beer or two. I’ve been through several phases of liking highly potent continental beers, wheat beers, stout, ale, and back again. Currently supermarkets in the UK are increasing the stock of “proper” ales and beers (i.e. not lager) and I’m thoroughly enjoying this real ale Renaissance and the fact that every time I go to the supermarket there are new beers for me to try.

This is all very boring, so I’ll get on with the reason I’m writing this:

Piddle in the Hole

Yes, that’s right, a beer called “Piddle in the Hole”. Seriously. It tasted pretty bleeding good as well! So I drank it. On the topic of beer, I took this in the pub a few weeks back. I like the sentiment, no doubt it’s blasphemous but I’ll just have to try to care about that.

God loves us and wants us to be happy
