As this blog is very inactive, I’ll start using it for a personal blog.

The annual boys trip to Majorca has just happened – this time to a Villa in Portals Nous, about 5 miles from Magalluf. You can see some of the photos here .

Weather was good, about 75 degrees in old money and only rained on part of one day.  The Villa was excellent in a location that was much more upmarket than Magalluf, with good shops, restaurants and bars.

Now I’ve returned, it’s back to helping Emma and Ste finish their bathroom refit – must get some photos.

Recent things:

•  
  • Bought a 16GB memory stick  £20 – ebay
  • Bought a Dyson DC07 £138 – internet (only had the last one ten years and what’s wrong with a brush)
  • Looking at how to auto backup My Documents to Memory stick
  • Got  2 non working laptops to play with (to go with the other two non working ones I’ve got)
  • Bought two trays for baking baguettes – ebay
  • Advertised a desktop system and laptop in bargain pages
  • Fixed a roof leak (at least until it rains again) 
  • Converted a flat roof skylight to one that can open to give access to the flat roof – bit of a lashup – designing a pukka version 

Time for cup of tea, ryvita with butter and marmite then bed and book about Genghis Khan (bit left wing for my liking)
