Witterings are, well they’re witterings really. They’re not uncategorised posts but don’t really fit into anything else
Finally took the big leap and moved the site off WordPress and onto Classic Press. There are several reasons for this with the primary ones being WordPress’s bloated code base and its jetpack plugin trying to basically make everyone else’s plugins obsolete. The other reason was Gutenberg – I hated block editing with a vengeance […]
Was it really in 2017 that I last posted on here? I guess it must have been. Since then I’ve been boating several times with two week long holidays to Llangollen and a round trip round the West Midlands and Birmingham – which is actually a lot nicer than it sounds. I’ve also done two […]
The mobile browser news feed for Facebook includes a section featuring “sponsored” pages which they think you might want to like. You can’t hide this section but their selection criteria is totally crap.. So lets start with this – I drive a Volvo…. A super car it isn’t and I’ve no real interest in […]
We’ve got a pretty good routine working for flying to America. It starts with driving down to Heathrow the night before the flight and staying in a hotel close to the airport – usually the Park Inn as it does park and fly deals where you can get a room and 15 days of parking […]
Norwich might not sound like an obvious destination for a weekend away from Cheltenham as it’s not the easiest place to get to but it is a trip worth doing if you like Real Ale ( or “Craft” beers for that matter ). We left Cheltenham on the Friday morning of Race Week and we […]

Seriously? Where did it go? One minute it was the start of January and the next it’s suddenly February and I’ve not posted anything anywhere. I suppose the only positive thing I can say is that actually I did do a few things in January, the biggest was the now traditional annual pub crawl in […]
So it’s 2015 and I thought that maybe I should start blogging properly. I’d already got my blog over on canalplan blogs but I got to thinking that maybe I should separate the two and make a blog site that any member of the family can have a blog on. So here it is….. And […]
Although I should be working on getting all the data loaded into the Canalplan Boats Database I’ve not been making a lot of progress on getting the new data and the old data mapped into a new structure which I wanted to use to make the data better. As well as that it’s been a […]
I just posted this to EE’s wall on Facebook. I expect they will delete it… they are a company in complete denial. =================== Well its time to say goodbye to EE. I’d like to say I’m sad that I’m leaving but that would be a total lie. The last 2 years with you have been […]
