    September 2025

Cycling The main achievement…

    April 2025

    Well here I am again. It is now nearly a third of the way into the year and as ever despite great plans and constant target setting, I have made very little concerted effort to get fit or indeed to update this site as my memorial.  So let’s deal with health and fitness. I am…

  • 2021 Summary

    Writing this update has been on my to-to list since the turn of the year so I am glad I am finding the time to write up what I must regard as a success after the last few years. Since I had my DVT in September 2018 I took a long time to get going…

  • Update 2nd November

    Update, Targets and Ambitions A lot has happened since my previous posting and so this is a general update. I still owe a posting about the Montgomery Triathlon but I hope to have completed that by the weekend. Target Achieved. At the beginning of the year I set a Strava target of 1500 miles on…

  • Moving from WordPress Org

    This is the last post from my previous website on WordPress.org. Going to be disappearing  In the past year I have become much more proficient in using my computer skills and have produced a range of videos for a various purposes including Bible stories, recorded services for church and even live recordings. Some of these…
