Welsh Cakes
I thought I’d try something new (for me) yesterday and made a batch of Welsh Cakes. While they were still warm they were quite soggy in the middle, but once cooled they were very nice! I made a few mistakes, … Continue reading
Cycle “Adventures” Volume 98
Over 8 minutes this time around! I’m back in sync with my work schedule now so normal running times should follow for a while. The running theme seems to be the Psychic School Of Motoring and Must Get In Front … Continue reading

That Was Quick!
Replacement part for my phone arrived this morning. I’m going to get some double sided tape before fitting!

Today my replacement screen arrived. I got down to replacing it. I tested it at this point and it was all working! 🙂The only problem was the buttons wouldn’t stick down. I tried replacing the back panel, pushing the buttons … Continue reading
