My sis has been over in New York for a while. I gave her some stickers to tag up the place.

Today I cycle out of Wales and up through to Liverpool and aiming towards the lakes.
I’ve been thinking a lot about journeys. I think they are all about discovery, finding out about ourselves mostly, but also learning new stuff everywhere you look. There is no doubt that you miss so much flying along roads in a car. On a bike you can stop pretty much anywhere, you drift though landscapes and miss very little (ok the hills are a bit tricky).
Some people are travelers and I suppose do this kind of thing all the time. But, as Andrea from Brooks saddles says, I’m your average bloke on the street, and I reckon we get the chance to do a big journey once or twice in a lifetime. So I’m still pretty much at the beginning of my trip around the coast of Britain, but I can see it’s a special thing to do, and I would say that anyone who sees an opportunity to take on a journey should grab it. You don’t know if it might come around again.
These baby swallows were in the shed where I kept my bike when I stayed with David and Clare in Cardigan a few days ago. My journey seems like a big deal, but they will travel back and forward to Africa several times in their lifetime and think nothing of it.

On tuesday, with the aid of a few wicker baskets, Sarah, Emma and Hollie came down to the shop on a mission.
The shop has been arranged much better for customer browsing, lots of reductions have been made, more stock has been put out and we have a large amount of new items, old items, kids clothes and merino on sale for a good price.
Its also made my job working here a lot easier, thanks guys!

the print shop is a hot shop.
it’s got a big dryer that gives off a lot of heat.
then there’s the apple macs that give some heat out too.
so a hot day can get pretty hot.

so the answer is to increase airflow.
these old cardboard tubes which I sawed in half, did the trick.
