You can’t beat an old fashioned seaside holiday!

I’m trying to get into the habit of blogging at least once a week, but not doing that well up to now. I so sometimes feel that I cant think of what to say, so I’m going to start doing a weekly what happened or is due to happen, nothing fancy, just a casual look on life as it passes me by I think.

I was down in Southport over the weekend, to Shunonda’s flat for a wee relaxing break with her. Its odd, but I’ve developed a little soft spot for the town, even in the quiet season. It’s got a wonderful old-fashioned seaside feel to it, but not like Blackpool’s now more tacky than ever “kiss me quick”/”get pissed Quick” feel. We have had a couple of good holidays in Southport over the last three or four years. I think its because its away from home, but has become familiar which is doing it for me this time. Sometimes I just have to get away, but without having the stress of someplace you haven’t been to before clouding the holiday. Thanks Nonda, for the company, it was worth it and I wish I could have stayed longer too, but with Paula as well. It might not be glitsy or glamorous or the high life, but its got a little bit of a calming feel about it. There’s nothing better than standing on the mile wide beach with nothing to care about but the strings of your Kite in your hands and a pleasant breeze to fly your kite with. Great!

Cheap and chearfull Internet!

Never seem to get the time to do this, at all, must be some sort of lifestyle thing.

I noted an interesting article on Broadband on the news last night, specifically looking at the claims of one supplier in the UK that you could get 8 Mb download speeds, but being less than up front that very few customers would probably achieve the advertised speed. Not surprising really, the technology doesn’t really guarantee anything unless you’re wired directly into the phone exchange from next door. If there’s one thing about technology in this mad world I’ve picked up since I left Uni., its that you normally only get what you pay for, cheap line/hardware means cheap service to boot.

Oh well, never mind, back to the grind I suppose.
