Things To Do

Ticked off another thing to do in 2013, Gain weight. 

Cutting down on the cardio this year and increasing the calorie consumption has meant my weight has gone up from 116 pounds in January to my current weight of 122 pounds.

They say you tend to loose weight from around your waist, well you gain weight there too! Waist size has increased from the beginning of the year.

I'm doing well with covering 100 miles of the Wales Coast Path, walked 70 miles so far this year.

So it's time to get the trainers back on and concentrate on the running. 

Transmission 5: New Order - Live From Jodrell Bank

Yesterday I went to Jodrell Bank Observatory in Cheshire for Transmission 5, an event with workshops, science activities and performances from different bands.

Acts included Hot Vestry, Jake Evans, The Whip, Public Service Broadcasting, Johnny Matt and New Order as the headline act.

I got there when the gates opened at 2pm in the hot summer's sun and slowly made my way out of the gates about 9 and a half hours later.

Sat watching the beginning of Andy Murray's game at Wimbledon before moving to the main area to watch the bands.

As the day went out the crowds got busier and I ended up standing about 10 rows back of people from the front of the stage.

Note to self take a spare battery to an all day event next time as I missed the excellent projections onto the Jodrell Bank dish as New Order played.

This time had another! camera with me, a Samsung ST200F, a 10 times optical compact zoom. It's intelligent zoom allows you to capture pictures at 20 times zoom. Video is limited to the 10 times zoom.
