Egg Miles - a cracking concept!

July 23rd, 2008

Mike and the team at Organiclinker have come up with an egg-miles calculator.

Now, if only they can get this onto a handheld device to rebut spurious claims of locally produced eggs at Farmers Markets.

Last weekend we went to Faversham, and bought ‘local eggs’ that were actually from Lincolnshire, closer to my place than the market we visited! Outrageous!!

Fore!! (back into Golf)

July 19th, 2008

I’m getting back into golf after a layoff of more than a few years.

The last time I played was December 2005, on my Stag Doo, at Formosa Country Club.
We have a great driving range and 14 courses within a 4 mile radius, so I’m in a great place to play golf.

I tested out some clubs today with a view to buying them and have sore arms as a result. They’re more used to typing and shuffling paper than hitting a golf ball.

Technology has improved since I last owned a set of clubs so I’ll be purchasing graphite instead of steel shafted clubs with much better sweet spots, lighter drivers and easier to use fairway woods as well.

I can’t wait to get out for a walk and enjoy the fresh air in the evenings - now I have no excuses not to!

What a mess (walls)

July 18th, 2008

Our walls are in the process of being stripped back ready for sanding and lining before painting.
What a mess! There is dust and little bits of flaky paint and wallpaper everywhere.

The great news is they are now a blank canvas so we will get a quote to get them lined before painting.

We are off to B&Q tomorrow to pick up some Polyfiller (we might need a large box of it)
