After 11 flawless months, Steve the CRV needed an MOT and a service booking, also started to look at what to get for a next set of tyres. Did some man maths and bought a 2014 Sorento...

i’m assuming it’s the stickers on the windscreen, but i’m bored now!


The sticker is a French ULEZ-zone sticker.

This car spent a lot of time in France, the underside is very clean (having seen the car), definitely not seen many British winters.
The other oddity is that its been MOT'd but not ...

Yes, now we are getting very warm - one of the photos has a tiny hint of where.

There is a subtle hint in one of the photographs about the few years with high milage.
One of the other mileage oddities is related to a mass event that affected us all.

What’s the story behind its mileage?

What’s worked well for me (leading small teams) is using a Kanban board (eg Trello).

Start simple , something like:
To Film: -> Prep -> Filming -> In Edit -> Review -> Scheduled -> Published
One card per video, and the team moves them along as they go. If the board’s moving, leave them to it. If ...

SE spec (best sized wheels for local potholes and speed bumps) with the adaptive suspension is my cup of tea - shame its not an estate (for the dog) or I would consider as we are looking for an auto (with no rush) due to declining health.

After 10 minutes on Rightmove, using filters Bob and Sue could have managed themselves. We marched them around the house, tactfully ignoring the stench from the chicken factory and the black mold blooming upstairs, because even misery needs editing.

The big moment: Bob and Sue made their pre ...

I still buy the odd DVD, was only recently Jen wanted to watch an old series called GRIMM which a friend was unable to download from the seven seas.

I spend a chunk of my job as an RSE supporting researchers HPC/programming issues and their problems are a huge time sink, detracting from the main focus of their research.

Ben looks one content doggo !

Life with Bagsy is good. A lot of work, a bit like having a 8 year old kid that eats nothing but US spec Skittles, with a bit of E, meth, cocaine and crack mixed in. But we are having plenty great moments.

Having a Husky is a brave choice. I keep thinking about having one but they all seem like 4 times the work of any other dog!


She is an emergency re-home. A friend adopted her about a month ago and due to unfortunate circumstances was unable to keep her. The dog rescue places are all full, so we ...
