Andorra snow

This week I’m with my girlfriend and her best friend for some snow fun in Andorra. Half way through the trip and I can say with confidence that we are loving it! I have another trip with friends from work later on in March so wanted to use this trip to perfect my technique on the snowboard. I also wanted to get my girlfriend interested in snow holidays since they are the highlight of my year and I would love if she came to more of them with me.

Mushroom Soup

Of late, I have been subscribed to an interesting food channel on YouTube called RecipeWars. The concept is simple: two chefs head to head, best recipe wins. Only they don’t really win anything it is for funsies. What you do get is two enthusiastic chefs trying out two recipes (largely from famous US chefs) whilst providing some rather good commentary about the ingredients and what works well. Whilst I would prefer a slightly broader scope in recipe sources - such as those from international chefs - I have enjoyed watching the channel and continue to do so.

Mass Renaming & Restoring USB Drives

I recently had to rename a lot of files in directory as well as fix a broken USB drive. I reckon I’ll need to use this again at some point so here are the tips. Both for me and for you!

The day starts early since we have a seven hour drive to Kruger from Johannesburg. For the first part I mostly sleep whilst drooling over Anne-Marie because my mouth was hanging open.

Three Days South Africa

Week two and I’ll just keep things brief. As we move through the Western Cape into the Eastern and then up into the Northern Cape the Internet availability at hotels and restaurants gets sparser and sparser.

South Africa Day Four

Writing in the style of Dr Seuss was difficult and challenging. I don’t think I’ll do that again. Instead I’ll try a telegram.

South Africa Day Three

My last blog post aimed to be in the style of American Psycho. Reading it back to myself it sounds more like Alan Partridge. So I will try something different this time. I will write this on the style of Dr Seuss.

South Africa Day One - Two

We’re on holiday in South Africa for two weeks during which I’ll try and write a few blog posts about the experience in the style of Patrick Bateman from Bret Easton Ellis’ American Psycho.

Books And Cheese

This weekend I completed two activities. The first was finish reading Frankenstein and the second was to finish a wheel of cheese from Cheddar.
