My Diet Begins...

Tuesday. 16 April, 2024

Second day back at work, though an early finish allowed me to do a little extra writing on my next novel, Familiar.

Also, I started my much-needed weightloss program today with an official weigh in. Gonna make it public in the hope it encourages me to make good progress on it. I'm healthy again, and back in work, so should hopefully be a lot more active again. I just have to keep off those addictive crisps!

As I finally left work, I couldn't help but take another Shadowme pic with this interesting shadow:

Back to the Office

Penclawdd Industrial Revolution Slag

Sunday, 14 April, 2014

I took a walk out to the old rocks on the east side of the Penclawdd marsh this afternoon. These curious large boulders on the east end of the Penclawdd marsh are the industrial slag waste from the old metal works that were once located here and formed part of Britain's historic Industrial Revolution. During that time, coal, tinplate, lead, copper, silver and brass were all worked on this part of the Gower coastline. Today, as you can see, the landscape this industry once polluted to drive Britain's wealth is a scene of serenity.

I have been meaning to visit this area of Penclawdd for a while now, but I have always failed to take decent photos of these 'rocks'. I'm happy with the images I managed to harvest today, though. They will be useful for my Explore Gower book, Tidal Gower, which I shall be working on later in the year.

If you enjoy my creative work, please help support this blog and my other creative projects. You can buy me a coffee there to sustain me through the marathon. THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND SUPPORT.

Another Sunset Drive

 Saturday, 13 April, 20024

I'm going to miss this place.

Is this the end of my GNS Collecting?

The postie brought these two books to my hands today, the first having to travel the width of the Atlantic to reach my greedy fingers:

I have been after these editions for over a year, as they are by far my favourite editions of Guy N Smith's Satan's Snowdrop and Bats out of Hell. 

 

 I don't think there are many more GNS books out there that I am actively seeking now. Could this be the end of my collection? We'll see.

It's Official! Back to the City We Go

 

Looks like our old pwscat will be on the movement. Life in the caravan down Llanrhidian Holiday Park has been good, but it's not ideal longish term for three adults, especially the travel time needed for work each day. And so, thankfully, we have finally found an available house available for rent until a buyer is found and the transaction is finalised. And so, this is officially our final week in the caravan. I wish I could enjoy it more, but I am back at the office to do the work of 'The Man'  on Monday :(
