Nice Weather
Filed Under Daily | Leave a Comment
It is very unusual for Manchester but the last few days were really nice. I even had sunburns on my nose from my last two hikes. I could see that my arms are getting darker. Dave M asked me if I wanted to join them today for a day hike in Wales. I was tempted […]

The Lakes

I went hiking with Dave M & Co yesterday. I am very tired today. I had a great walk/climb again but nothing as hard as last week. We finished early which was nice. We had some good time in a pub as well: Pictures. The movie on Friday was: Scent of a woman. It was […]

Because of the hard walk/climb, half of my body was frozen and sore at the beginning of the week. During the swim, I had to pay more attention to my technique and optimize it. Somehow I managed to level up and I was much faster. I was content with this nice positive effect. Indeed swimming […]

After two long weeks, I am finally enjoying my new baby. Everything is working great and it looks so nice. I should have bought it a long time ago. I like the fact that it is very quiet, I need to get used to the qwerty keyboard. I will also have to buy a french […]

New Laptop!

Finally it has arrived. Everything is running smoothly and looks very pretty. It will take few hours before it can connect to the internet due to the University’s setup. It is lighter than my old Asus. The screen is very bright and provides real life colors so it seems faded compared to the Asus’ flashy […]

Tryfan is the name of the peak we climbed last Sunday in Wales near Snowdon. It was very hard but it is one of my favorite sport activity. Since I was born I always liked climbing trees and rocks like a little chimp. So I did it very well. I doubt the rest of the […]

I went to Wales Hiking with some of my friends, Dave E, Dave M, Iris and Ruth. The climbing was hard and treacherous but I managed to get all the way to the top an hour before the rest of the group. Dave M was very upset because he was worried. He made two bad […]

Scotland Deal!
Filed Under Daily | Leave a Comment
Thanks to Dave M’s efforts, looks like the trip to Scotland is finalized: Dave M: “Shall we book this cottage for 375 (02/05-09/05)? Between 3 £125 each, if we get 5 (which would still allow Pierre his own room) it’ll be £75 each (maybe exact amounts adjusted according to who stays in bunk room)” Cottage […]

Anxiously Waiting!
Filed Under Daily | Leave a Comment
No Dell computer yet! It is very confusing this tracking system with automated generated dates that are wrong and automated calls to ask you when you want it. In the old system, they only call you if they are delivering the next day. I had a very short night because I was very excited about […]

I’ve Missed iT!

I thought about it for many days and I managed to miss the big day: “March 27 2008”. A full year has passed since I left Australia. I miss its eternal blue sky that I replaced with dreadful clouds above my head in Dublin and now in Manchester. Nothing else to regret besides the weather! […]
