One of the must-see attractions on the East coast of USA, is the Niagara Falls. As part of our trip to US recently, we devoted 2 days to staying in Buffalo, New York State, so we could take in all its beauty. Continue reading Niagara Falls

Film Locations Visited
There are a few locations within New York and Washington which stand out for me owing to the movies which were shot there or which were specifically mentioned in the plot line of the movies. Hence while there, I took the opportunity to visit some of these places. Continue reading Film Locations Visited
Statue of Liberty and Liberty Island
I would have to say that the visit to the Statue of Liberty on Liberty Island was probably the true highlight of our recent trip to America. My wife had booked our boat tickets online for the cruise to Liberty Island before we had left England, so that was always on our itinerary for the trip. Continue reading Statue of Liberty and Liberty Island
Holiday trip to America
It has been a week since my return from USA but I had been working every single day since my return. Hence there has been no time to process the photos from our 12 day trip to America, much less post on my website. But now that I have my first day of rest since coming back to England, I thought I would share some photos taken from the trip as well as some things I learnt from this trip. Continue reading Holiday trip to America
Oriental Chives – for insect bites
Recently I was bitten by an insect (don’t know which though) at the back of my left foot. It became itchy and after walking around all day at work in my work shoes, it became very inflamed and painful to walk on. That was when I noticed that it had become infected i.e. cellulitis and was becoming a little bruised as well on the overlying skin. Hence I had to attend the out-of-hours GP service, which actually went very smoothly and I was given a time slot to see the GP. Continue reading Oriental Chives – for insect bites
Activity Tracker watch issues – Fitbit Surge + Withings Steel HR
My wife has had her Fitbit surge for over 1 year now, whereas I have had my Withings Steel HR since April this year. But it seems that both of us have run into a little problem with our activity tracker watches. I thought it would be worth posting about these issues here. Continue reading Activity Tracker watch issues – Fitbit Surge + Withings Steel HR
Fish tanks
Recently my oldest daughter started her fish-keeping hobby. She now has a fish tank of her own in her bedroom. As her enthusiasm increased, she decided to undertake the extreme overhaul of the two tanks I have in the living and dining room, which had become overwhelmed by all kinds of algae. Continue reading Fish tanks
My daughter’s birthday party
For my youngest daughter’s 9th birthday, she wanted to have an ice skating party with her 3 best friends. Hence my wife made plans for this to take place. Our good friend also baked a lovely lemon drizzle cake with icing for her birthday – exactly what my daughter had asked for. Continue reading My daughter’s birthday party
Down by the River
Now I was digging through the memory card of my camera from last year, and noticed that I had taken some photos down by Sandford Lock. This was around the time when we had our daughter’s German-exchange student staying with us for the week. Hence I thought it would be a good time to post some of these photos. Continue reading Down by the River
What I caught on Ring Video Doorbell
I woke up on Wednesday morning at 7am and went to the window to draw the blinds and curtains. Straight away I noticed that something was not right. My passenger car door was wide open – which could only mean one thing – someone unauthorised has got into my car. The first thing I looked for was whether there was any movement detected on my Ring Video Doorbell, and sure enough there was an event recorded at 4:48am.
