Back Again

It’s been a busy month so hence no posts lately.  We went camping on my birthday weekend to Thurston Manor which resulted in coming home early sunday morning due to strong winds. I also needed to rebuild my laptop due to it running to a hault with the amount of cr@p that was on it.  For £40 from Asda this tent took a serious battering but it was fine. Money well spent.  Think next time we go camping we check the weather before going. Overall was very impressed with the asda tent.


Thurston Manor, well what can I say.  The people we met were friendly and very helpful.  The onsite shop was reasonably priced and had a lot of things to offer.  The other onsite facilities included a clean toilet/shower block, a football pitch, play park and "the Glen".  The site was quite busy with a range of tents and caravans.  We’re planning another weekend down there soon when the weather is better.  I would recommend this camp site.


You would think that rebuilding a laptop wouldn’t take much time, however when you can’t find the drivers disk then it can put a hold on things.  After doing a windows update and installing all my development tools I saw light at the end of the tunnel.  Then I realised that there is a service pack for Visual Studio 2005.  I started the install around 1pm and it didn’t complete till 2.30 which I personally think is quite long.

My contact form will be back online soon enough along with style updates that will cater for I.E. 7 and will change the way the top navigation looks.

Till next time stay safe
