The sea is a fickle and dangerous mistress and often underestimated. Last night a man lost his life in Aberystwyth, despite our best attempts to save him. Sean and I had been away all weekend, travelling down to London to see a most dissappointing Mac Expo. I was exhausted having driven all weekend and on Sunday […]
After spending yesterday helping Mal move house, Mal, Louisa, Sean and I had a cracking good meal in the pub in Pentyrch. Excellent food, the caramelised goat’s cheese starter was just unbelievable. So it was a well-fed Aled that left the house when the pager went off about 2100. We had reports of a misper […]
I was intending this weekend to catch up with cleaning and some shopping at Custom Orthotics . Not the most exciting of weekends, but I’ve had lots of exciting weekends and I really needed a boring one to catch up on housework. Meh. So I wasn’t really too unhappy when, at around 1:15pm this afternoon […]
With plans for a few days off and a nice weekend in west Wales with Sean being attested as a Special Constable on Sunday, I was quite looking forward. I was tired after a long week, so decided to get some much needed rest on Wednesday night and head up to Aberystwyth on Thursday. The […]
This blog has been far to quiet recently, but then I’ve not had time to do much of anything other than work and sleep. We’re in the week leading up to our first live customers on the system so to say we’ve been busy would like be like calling the surface of the sun “warm”. […]
It’s fantastic weather this week around here, Monday lunchtime, I was sat outside our kitchen, eating my lunch and chatting with a few of the lads from the office in the beautiful sunshine. I’ve even been in shorts all week. Tomorrow I’m (hopefully) off to London to start the build-out of our datacenter space and […]
This blog has been quiet recently. Very quiet. In my defence, I have been busy – extraordinarily busy. On thr bright side this does mean I have a few things to blog about. Two callouts to start off with, there’s a rant brewing about suppliers and in all that I’ve been told I can blog […]
It wasn’t so long ago that I said that I was going to be cutting down on my rescue work because of how busy we were going to be at work. Well, as it turns out, one of our deliveries has been delayed. Instead of arriving on Tuesday, it won’t be here until Monday now. […]
A fairly uneventful first responder shift on Saturday ended with a bang about 0400 on Sunday with a little old lady with chest pains. I did manage to get back and get another few hours sleep but it wasn’t too long before I was in Cardiff getting breakfast with Jon and Rich before we headed […]
I’ve had a cracking weekend. For those of you who remember these things, it was a year ago that Sean and I first met. At this juncture I’d just like to thank my Volunteer Pimp. You did good. On Saturday morning, after I went to pick Sean up from Aber we headed off to Llanddeusant, […]
