(not so gently sloping in places) and free easy parking – perfectly selected. We had a lovely […]
Done some work on the site. Optimised the google and bing trawling, they were killing us with requests Database optimisation work Upgraded the server, now twice as much memory as before. Done some additional page caching work What does this mean? Hopefully the website will be faster. […] The skinny middle aged runner we encountered in the carpark of The Ship pub was the first to speak. “Ah someone more mad than me,” he said, having spent 90 minutes jogging in sub zero icy and snowy conditions. He was vacillating between sheer admiration of our chutzpah to circumnavigate Hayling Island and the ludicrousness […] Thursday night and time to head down to Cremorne for some respite from London’s pre-Christmas bustle.

For anyone that’s interested I enabled some apache mods, see more here. […] Brockwell Lido Session Brilliant Springtime evening sunshine welcomed us out onto the lido, beautifully vibrant and blue after its recent renovation. The water was cool, but inviting, and Tom jumped straight in for a swim before we started. We all had a great time practicing rolling in various boats, with excellent coaching from Geoff, resulting […] Hayling Island Circumnavigation As if one day of paddling in the wind and rain on the South Coast wasn’t enough, Rob, Richard Bate and I stuck around for a second day of paddling, joined at the last minute by Fiona.
We were well rewarded […] |
