Spotted on the London Underground

Saw this on the train yesterday - a parody of the Met's recruitment posters.The words in the blue box include instructions to text stasi to a number for more information. (The real Met posters say "Make a Visible Difference")

Have Apple Abandoned the Apple TV?

It's been six months since the one and only upgrade to the Apple TV - since then it seems to have been sidelined by Apple.

Site Update

The site's been off-line for a few days whilst I upgraded the O/S on my Mac Mini, which hosts this site.  This was from Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) to 10.5 (Leopard).  I tried an in place upgrade first but I didn't really think it would work as I had customised it quite a lot - it didn't!

Where has all the Daddies Sauce gone?

It's been three months since I last saw it on the shelves! The brown variety is far superior to the other main brand and the red too, is much better than Heinz. So why can't I buy it? I've tried all the supermarket chains (Not just the local ones - I was also on the lookout during my recent holiday).

Botallack Mine & Porth Curno

It was back to Levant today, but this time I headed west towards Cape Cornwall to the Botallack Mine.

SatNav Thrill Ride

Set off to Falmouth on the usual route and quickly hit some slow farm traffic. I knew that the major roads were not the most direct route so I hit (for the first time) the "Detour" button on the SatNav.
This immediately diverted me onto some lesser roads and it was not long before it was telling to turn onto roads I would never normally consider.

Beach Day

Started the day at Gunwalloe, on the beach at Church Cove. After a few hours soaking up the rays, moved on to the Penrose Estate where there are walks around the lakes created by the Loe Bar.

Going Underground

This is how the day greeted me this morning.

I thought I'd been to most of the gardens in the area, but today I visited Trengwainton.

Return to Eden

It's been over a two years since my last visit to the Eden Project. The main change, as expected, was the addition of the Core - a worthy contribution to the site.

Lizard's Tale

Final Holiday of the year (number 4) and it's back to the Lizard again - same place as I went to in July, but this time with a much better view. In fact I can watch the sun rise over the sea from my bed.
