1. Children under 2 + Sand = a mess. If he wasn’t eating the sand, he was rubbing it in his eyes, or crawling as fast as he could to the nearest rock pool.
2. Don’t forget to put sun cream on yourself
3. When taking children to the beach, always use your wife’s car – it will get filthy.
4. If bathing the children t0 clean off the sand after a beach visit, don’t put them both in the bath together because the younger one will lay a floater causing the elder one to scream.
I’m now entering the final phase of my degree hence the slow procession of updates to my blog. I’m starting on the last assignment for the last course which in theory will all be over by the end of September – although I hope to have completed the project way before then. The first stage involves a project plan which I need to get cracking on really…..

I can now encode HD video almost in realtime, and editing my camera footage is also possible without wanting to bash my fist through the monitor. It automatically clocks itself up from 2.66GHz to 3.2Ghz with ease, and I’ve taken it as high as 3.5GHz and still stable. It didn’t much like 4GHz so I won’t touch that again.
Remember this post? Well from the preview of the next episode it appears that the very same Roman style camp will be appearing at some point this Saturday evening – keep your eyes open.
Take no chances…. only four physical cores will do, each capable of ‘turbo-boosting’ from 2.66GHz up to 3.2GHz as required. The Intel Core i5 750.
