Bloco Fogo Caught with Olymous e620
During early September, whilst out doing some Christmas shopping in Tunbridge Wells, my son and I heard some drumming! It’s was a samba band. We followed our ears to investigate and found Bloco Fogo playing in the centre by the clock tower. Luckily I had my shiny new Olympus e620 with me, in the hope I’d have cause to use it, and I did! After successfully pushing my way through to...

I’ve bought an Olympus e620 D-SLR
Since 2009 saw a landmark Birthday, and Christmas was looking, I thought it about time to move up from a digital compact camera and get myself a new toy, a Digital SLR. Now many moons ago I used to dabble in photography with an Canon AE-1 of my Dad’s and then my own Canon A-1. Quick to adopt digital I bought a Sanyo VPC-X350 in 1999, as it did video too. Nothing special by today’s standard,...

Volunteering at The Poppy Factory
I recently had the opportunity to volunteer making Rememberance Day Poppies at The Poppy Factory in Richmond, Surrey, England. For just one day, myself and 6 work colleagues visited The Poppy Factory, not really knowing what to expect, other than the chance to make some poppies. The day turned out to be quite an eye opener and one that leaves me seeing poppies in a whole new light. We were given...

The Old Cinema in Tunbridge Wells
Listening to KMFM the other day brought to my attention a site with some photos of the old and disused Ritz Cinema in the heart of Tunbridge Wells. Fascinating…See here: Ritz Cinema Tunbridge Wells Photos Despite never having gone there myself, I still find it fascinating to see images of what are time capsules. The site is a forum and following the thread for the Ritz Cinema, I stumbled across...

Wii Motion Plus
So I’ve bought Wii Motion Plus and Sports Resort, and here’s what I think…Rather Good! Wii Sports Resort? Since I’m a fan of Wii Bowling, I tried that first. “‘mmmm” I said to myself, with tht strange feeling you’re about to be really disappointed and duped. I couldn’t really see the difference, apart from my Mii sporting a funky shirt. Next...

London Moonwalk Completed
1 mile to go and still smiling! Well I’ve done it! Completed my first London Playtex Moonwalk. It took over 8hours, so needless to say my knees are very stiff and have got some juicy blisters to nurse. It’s the first Moonwalk I’ve done and I have to say I’m up for another – it’s a truly fantastic, fun, moving and uplifting experience. I travelled up to London...

Trial walk completed ;-)
Managed to complete a trial walk, as per the Moonwalk training plan. I teamed up with another walker and we walked around Tunbridge Wells, thanks to Sarah for her planning the route! We missed the 20 mile target by 3, but feel it’s enough to build on before the big one!

Bra complete and paraded at work.
So what do you think????? I braved wearing the now completed Moonwalk bra to the office. Needless to say it put a smile on everyone’s face an worked a treat at kick starting sponsorship. Wearing it for a few hours around the office makes me think it might prove uncomfortable after some 7 hours of walking, but it’s for a good cause! I’m rather pleased with the decoration, though...
