Mobile Blogging
Life is a little hectic at the moment.
Lots going on , so I’m just blogging this post from my phone to see if it’s any easier to keep the blog up to date and get back to daily posting.
So , here’s what’s been going on this last month.
Loki is doing great with his training , it’s looking like he will pass the puppy foundation module within the next 4 weeks but practice is the key and that’s taking up my time at the moment. It will be worth the effort though.
I’ve had my blood test and happy to report the statins have helped to reduce my cholesterol from 5.7 down to 3.8 . I’ve a few more checks to be done regarding my blood thinners and a check on my diabetes reading but all seems OK for now.
My car had a air conditioning regass recently, that really helped to keep the car at a safe cool level for the doggo . It also recently had a oil and filter change and its going in next week for a fuel filter change DPF clean and engine carbon clean. I got a really great deal from spear cars based in Stafford. Really great service and very trustworthy guy.
That’s all for now but hoping I’ll be able to keep on top of the updates over the next few weeks and thanks for staying with Me.
Welcome Loki
I havent been around ( again) for a while.
There is a good reason for that , please welcome Loki .. The dog of mischief !
He’s been with us around 8 weeks and has settled in and making his demands known lol.
He’s about to start his training soon at PADS but he’s already recalling to his name as well as the usual sit and wait commands etc. i think he will do well and i’ll update on his progress over the next few months.
heres a selection of photo’s to be going on with …

More Tech
I use a Synology router RT2600 ac for my network and its great , however i was struggling to get a decent WIFI signal on my back garden. I can get a strong signal on the front so its mainly down to where i have my main router situated.
Rather than mess around moving it, i’ve purchased its little brother the 2200 to act as a mesh system and placed that at the rear of the property in the kitchen area.
The great thing about mesh networking is that its a seamless changeover to the strongest signal without any dropouts or configuration. ive now got full bars in and all around the property now 🙂

Gardening Time
I’ve been a little busy out in the garden so havent got around to posting much on the blog but i thought i’d share a few photo’s of how its progressing …
…another new monitor
well , the last monitor didn’t last long. it had a dead pixel but i made sure i was covered for that and decided to exchange it.
This beast is lg 34″ Ultrawide with an IPS screen for much better clarity and full colour spectrum.
I only just managed to make it fit into the alcove but don’t let the picture fool you, this is huge !
Diabetes Update
I had my six monthly diabeties check a few days ago. One point up from last time … 38. blood pressure fine , eyes fine , feet fine. The bad news is my cholesterol is at 5.7 so need to go on statins.
Never mind, it gives me something else to panic about :/
New Monitor
New Monitor. It had to be done as i’m not getting any younger and my old tired eyes needed something a little bigger. i say little but its 32″ so i had to shoehorn it into my little corner lol.
Per Mare , Per Terram – Chooch
I was hardly out of nappies and starting primary school when i met this guy , even from that first day he had my back.
We went through primary and secondary schools together and had some laughs in between .
Those times were great , however we both went on to create our own futures .
I remember Chooch wanting to join the Royal Marines and the last time i saw him he was training hard to get to that goal.
i had never known this guy to quit at anything in his life so i was so happy and proud when some 20 odd years later he appears on my facebook feed.
He HAD reached his goal and i’m proud to say not only did he watch my back , he went on to protect that of the guys he served with , his country and everywhere he served.

Sadly , i learned of Chooch’s father, Brian , passing recently , i didn’t realise at the time that he also served in the forces . with chooch’s permission i have included a picture below showing them both in better times.
“Those who have never been to the edge and looked over will never understand that it is better to live one day as a lion than a lifetime as a sheep. The ones that been to the edge know that hard times don't last forever, but hard men do.”
New Mouse
I had to retire my Corsair Glaive after 3 years of heavy duty service . However, seeing as most of my setup is centered around Corsair and Icue , this time i went for the Dark core RGB Pro.
I like this as its got slipstream wireless as well as bluetooth if needed and also can be charged using a standard USB-C .
oh, and yea , the RGB links with the keyboard , watercooler and case fans so that’s a win too !
click the picture to go to Corsair’s website if you are after one yourself.
I’ve been a little busy.
I’ve been a little busy just lately so not much has been posted to the blog.
Nothing exciting , just everyday things that i needed to get sorted but hopefully i will be posting more content from here on in. stay tuned !
