Recently with healthier eating and a regular exercise routine, I thought I would turn to protein supplementation to improve exercise tolerance and build up muscle mass, as well as to ultimately reduce body fat. Hence it was interesting to note certain things after searching the internet. Continue reading Protein supplementation

Pokemon Go Plus – further thoughts
Having bought the Pokemon Go Plus over 2 weeks ago and used it whenever I have had spare time, I thought I would share my thoughts about how it has fared so far. Continue reading Pokemon Go Plus – further thoughts
Lemon grass
A few months back, I saw that my wife had bought a pack of lemon grass from the Oriental supermarket, which was sitting in the fridge for a while. I asked her if I could have one stem of lemon grass to try and grow it. She agreed to this and so I took it and soaked it into a small jar of water. Continue reading Lemon grass
Paper flowers
One of the gifts my daughter received from my wife’s friends was a pack of paper flowers. Once she saw it, she could hardly wait to start making paper flowers. The instructions seem fairly straight forward for my daughter even at age 8, and she did not have any problems following it. Continue reading Paper flowers
Pokemon Go buddy
It has been over 2 months since Pokemon Go came out here in England. There have been some updates to the interface, and one of the most useful is that of a Pokemon Buddy, where you elect one Pokemon as your buddy to walk about with you. And depending on the buddy, walking a certain amount of distance will result in your buddy finding a Pokemon-specific candy. This can prove to be helpful particularly for the rarer Pokemon, to get more candy to power them up or even evolve them. Continue reading Pokemon Go buddy
Rhone region views
While in France, we had spent a lot of time in the car and during that time we had seen some parts of France which were lovely. Alot of the time, it was not possible to stop on the side of the road to take photos, hence there were times when I had to take photos while the car was on the move – while my wife was driving. Continue reading Rhone region views
Monaco Harbour
During our trip to Nice in France, we also decided to pop over to Monaco which was not too far a drive from there. Once there, we drove about taking in the views while looking for a parking space. But once we were parked, we walked along the harbour front and snapped images of the various boats, some of which are truly luxury boats. Continue reading Monaco Harbour
Nice in France
It was a few weeks after the Nice terrorist attack which left 84 dead, and as it was not far from where we were staying in Provence, we decided to make a trip there to experience the beach. We felt that as there were no major events happening there that day, that it would be safe for us to go to Nice after all. Continue reading Nice in France
Lavender Museum in Provence
The day after our trip to Marseille, we decided to visit the Lavender Museum in Provence. My wife tells me that Lavender is one of the major crops from this area, and hence it was worth a trip there just to learn about Lavender. As no dogs were allowed in the Museum, I stayed outside with Rosie our dog, while my wife and daughters joined the tour inside the Museum. Continue reading Lavender Museum in Provence
Notre Dame de la Garde in Marseille
As I had posted before, we visited Marseille during our trip to South of France. Having visited the Stade Velodrome, the next tourist attraction we went to was Notre Dame de la Garde. This visit provided a lovely view of Marseille, including of the Old Port of Marseille. We had planned to visit that next, but that was cancelled owing to what transpired when we returned to our car.
