Beautiful Day - Nice Walk On The Beach - More Crabs -June 24th

Not a lot going on today..so what can we say..?

Oh Yes.! It was a beautiful sunny day so we went to Saltdean Beach.

Our son was a little disappointed at first when we realised it was too cold to go into the water and sunbathe on the beach because he wanted to try his new dinghy he had recently bought.

Andy and myself decided to go for a nice long stroll along the Undercliff Walk and Stephen chose to stay on the beach and go crabbing.


He soon got really excited because he caught 13 crabs..! The fishermen who were fishing near him on the same groining were shocked as they weren't even getting nibbles.! They said to Stephen that the crabs were to just as well have kept their mouths open. lol



Andy picked up a couple from the bucket and although they were small they were very aggressive and pinching his fingers...they gave it a good go.!



It was funny watching them scuttling their way back into the sea when we released them. The tide was coming in and dragging some of them into the sea. Maybe that is one of the reasons they have hard shells. They seem to get tossed and bashed about in the sea quite a bit.

Brighton Beach Huts

Yes apart from the stones, the Pier, and the stripy deck chairs, these are what the British and Brighton beaches are famous for



BEACH HUTS.!

Our son and a friend went Kayaking on Hove Lagoon again today...the weather is gorgeous.

Did a few short videos they were fun, while our son was having fun with the Kayak.

Just a thought and a tip for anyone who wants to do their own videos...For any kind of internet marketing, videos are the way to go. You don't have to be an expert to do video, people love real time videos from real people.

They are quick to do..you don't need to do long videos and you can do them almost anywhere. They are so much fun to do. It's almost like taking a photograph but with movement.!

Posting, Posting, Family Sunday - 22nd June

Another lovely family Sunday.! We did the usual..a sporty day..swimming and the gym. Didn't work out too hard today.

Our son loves jumping around on the giant float that the local swimming pool brings out on the weekends..


The atmosphere gets really charged with lots of excited children queuing up, itching to leap and bounce all over this nearly pool size bouncy castle.

It almost makes us adults want to join in with them.!!

Dee wrote a new article on Ezine Articles about the power of a master mind group. Once it gets approved we'll post the URL onto this blog.

Spent some time linking up a few old ezine articles that Dee wrote months ago using StumbleUpon, Del.icio.us and Google Reader, they were quite interesting to go through. It's amazing how linking has a powerful effect on our Google rankings.

Summer Sales - Shopping Trip - Twhirl Is So Cool - June 20th

The summer sales are here...


Today we went to Brighton shopping.! Dee got a really good bargain she bought a new tennis racket at the summer sales reduced from £69.00 to £20.00. Andy bought some nice new T-Shirts.

Stephen bought more Star Wars lego. He collects them and plays with them all the time. They are pretty cool, there are all sorts of characters and ships and he loves putting the pieces together and then form his own games with the miniature figures etc.

Came home, Andy went to the gym while I cooked dinner. Put some add ons into our flock browsers. Cool stuff. Flock is great for integrating programs. For instance, to add a feed to Google Blog Reader is just one click.!

Signed up to Pownce so when we use Twhirl, the Twitter Client, it will post our updates there also. Twhirl is so cool, here are just a few functions it does...it automatically shortens URLs, connects to mulitiple Twitter and Friendfeed accounts so again saving loads of time by not having to go into the separate accounts. It's called Cross posting updates. We're still playing around with it and exploring its other functions.

And of course, being Web 2.0 it's free. :-)

ClimbingThe Wall...Hanging Around.! - June 19th


Today our son with a couple of friends went Rock Climbing in Brighton at an indoor climbing wall. His two friends were shattered after about an hour.! Stephen kept climbing and climbing. They all had a great time. Sorry no pics or vids today on their venture as Andy forgot the camera :-0).

Meanwhile, while the children were enjoying themselves climbing walls, Andy went shopping and bought a pair of blue mocisan slippers.

I again stayed home mowed the lawn and went onto a learning website that teaches Welsh for free. Here is the website if anyone is interested in learning Welsh www.bbc.co.uk/wales/catchphrase

Oh and also cooked a curry they were all very hungry when they came home.!

Andy discovered Twhirl. He is so excited about it because it is connected to Twitter and so when you post on Twhirl you are also posting to Twitter at the same time.. Cool...Web 2.0 is great.

Andy was right when he said I would love it. It's brilliant.!

We Need Bees - How About That.!

Andy did his usual this morning, sent mass email, etc.

Took our son and a friend horse riding today, he is getting better at it...starting to get the hang of trotting.

Watched Bee Movie this evening..it was really good. Loved the remark at the beginning that said, "Scientists say that bees shouldn't be able to fly because of their short wings and fat bodies, but bees don't seem to care what humans think they fly anyway.!"

We didn't know this, but we need bees. Interesting eh.!

We also got thinking that we need to be productive and have a purpose otherwise it upsets the balance of life, just like what happened in the movie.

We really recommend it.!
