At this stage there are very few “pressing” things left to resolve with the house. Of course there’ll always be improvements that can be made and I still have a load of boxes that I need to unpack, but they’ll get unpacked eventually. I planted the fruit plants a few weeks back and they seem […]
When a good opportunity presents itself you need to take advantage of it. After doing a bit of research I realised two things: Aldi’s prices on fruit plants was significantly lower than anywhere else Aldi was only going to offer the fruit plant range for a few weeks So if I wanted to get any […]
As I mentioned a while ago I’ve now got the beginnings of a herb garden. It’s not fancy or complicated, but I intend to expand it over time. It’s not like I don’t have the space! I’ve also recently put myself on a low carb diet, so my eating habits have changed quite a bit. […]
I’ve been travelling for the last few weeks, but that doesn’t mean that I haven’t been thinking about the house. The beauty of online shopping is that you can easily order things while you’re on the road, so I did! At this stage most of the major things I wanted to get done are in […]
Practice makes perfect. I’m nowhere near perfect on many fronts, not least of which my drone piloting skills. However the more you fly the more you learn and gain confidence. So yesterday evening I had a lot of fun shooting some video from above the mill at Milford, Co. Carlow. No audio track on the […]
The famous scene from Jerry Maguire with Tom Cruise and Cuba Gooding Jr always brings a smile to my face. I’m not as focussed on making money as Cuba Gooding Jr’s character in Jerry Maguire, but I don’t work for free or do things that benefit others unilaterally. I’ve been blogging and running websites for […]
This evening I shot a few short videos with the drone flying near Milford. I’d been hoping to fly from that area earlier during the week so I was happy to be able to get there this evening. You can see the waterways as well as the old Milford mill in the background, which is […]
I bought a DJI Phantom 3 Standard drone last year. While I did take it out a couple of times between travel, buying a house, moving house, travel and “life” I hadn’t really done a lot of flying with it. The last few days the weather in Ireland has been really nice and with the […]
I’ve got plenty of space in the back garden to do a lot of things. Putting it simply, I have options. For now, however, I really don’t know what I want to do. I know that at some point I will need to get a garden shed of some kind, but for now I’ve no […]
Since I moved into the house I’ve had broadband. Up until the other day I had a single router which handled both the connection to the outside world, as well as the wifi for the entire house. The router is a Fritz!Box 7560, which works pretty well over IPv4. The IPv6 side of things is […]
